15 surgeries 2 infections 3 new knees 2 antibiotic spacers resulting in 3 of the 4 quads missing on both legs and a fused right leg. So they are basically knackered - can limp around but hard to train other than seated.

Posted: Fri Dec 15, 2017 9:38 amI've learned from a bowling coach in a wheelchair. I started learning taiji whilst unable to feel below my sacrum and a largely spastic and contracted left side of my body so I had to be seated. The practice just changes focus.

i tore up my achilles tendon and thought i had it bad
ime, at an older age, leg injuries are rather difficult to heal
takes long time

Posted: Fri Dec 15, 2017 9:53 pmI think you will find the Wu guy is just trying to put together an exercise routine for the chair bound
He is not concentrating on his core,a word I never heard in the first 30 years of my training
It would be easy to incorporate a greater range of movement in his form engaging the core.
I had a book years ago with line drawings of Chen Wei Ming doing a seated set.
Like the Wu guy Chen seemed to be pretty relaxed about the whole thing.
The tai chi form was designed as a standing dynamic set and it can be modified to fit any circumstances.
However I think there are many better sitting sets to do
Yoga,aikido,sitting ba tuan chin,tai chi ruler and others

Posted: Sat Dec 16, 2017 3:57 amUnable to use my legs much I find that core mobility is really important to keep in good health and maintain mobility, strength and vigour, which is why I developed the form in the way I did, therefore a static set like the Wu one is only as good as the 'if you're happy and know it clap your hands' type of exercises often given to those with disabilities.
