In this video I breakdown this old Chinese guy's Tai Chi Fa Jin! I Don't know who he is or what style (though my Spider sense says Wu Taijiquan), but I like what he's doing and thought it worth sharing and unpacking.

When people think of rooting in tai chi chuan they often think of a master taking a stance and grounding out the pushes of one or many 'testers'. But rooting is of little use if it comes at the cost of agility.
In this video we look at the use of rooting to create explosive fa jin strikes AND drive position changes at the same time.
We look at some of the footwork overlaps between tai chi and boxing, focusing on the front-step shuffle (thanks to Short Boxing for the footage), demonstrated here by Vasyl Lomachenko.
