completely understand...
The teacher is head of the northern Wu style btw.
not here to change minds....only ones self can do that....
translation by one of my students..
much of what is translated has been talked about on this site.
He explains it using his verbiage, when I talk or explain things I try to use physics
as much as possible in order hopefully to make it more clear.
Time stamp: 0..1:0:
Need to know what "TaiChi" means in order to learn it well.
TaiChi means: "no pole" (Field/Circle/Empty) which generates "poles" (YingYang/In & out/Body).
The core of TaiChi Quan is to interchange the act of Field affecting body and body reacting to field.
the question one might ask is what is the field he talks about....Ying & Yang are two faces of one thing, cannot be separated.
1:0 ..1:25:
When we contact, we consist of the "no pole" (combine our fields?), if he is Yang, then I will be the Ying; vice versa.
I can hit him by breaking his own Ying & Yang.
1:26..1:36
I can hit him by my internal as outside is hard, expand my internal out.
1:37..1:53
I can hit him by my outside, go to my inside then hit him by my outside.
When he came in, I am Ying, then become Yang. I am Yang, then become Ying.
It is all about the ying/yang change.
1:54..2:20
When he touch me, I can use my circle to hit him; use my center to hit him; my center expanded to hit him.
2:21..2:55
I can also hit him by changing curve to straight, by my knee, by my hip by expansion, by my Dantian, by my waist due to loosing my shoulder and back to my waist,
2:56..3:30
I can hit him by my shoulder, shoulder sinks to my YongQuan (on my foot).
I can hit him by one finger softly. When I touch him, I grab his foot root and hit his foot.
The change of Ying/Yang is layer by layer with angle.
3:31..4:11
I do my form to have my field first, then follow the field, change my shape to bring in my field, I move within my field.
4:12..4:39
My single foot is not only support my weight, also can farjin. This is due to expansion/compressing; i.e. ying/yang.
Most if not all has been talked about on this site with many agreeing to what is written, but not shown...every time its shown
its the same reactions the same comments....every time...
The clip has been talked about before...My take regardless of what one thinks of the demo is whether it follows the theory used to explain it, and does what is seen hold true to the theory....once one understands this a lot of what is seen might make some sense... keeping in mind context and demo...
how its used is another matter...
