Move shoulders forward.
- Your back is bending like a curve


When train with this, they hurt themselves before they can KO others.

头正而起,肩平而顺,胸出而闭。

I like the lady's posture. Her chest is out.

Anyone who interperates this as the back should be bent should never again speak on tai chi

Back when I was an Taiji beginner, my Karate teacher gave me a vhs tape feutering Erle Montague, in it he spoke about the c-back among important bodily Taiji characteristics

If we have an extremely limited scope definition for “health”, hunch back is not good.

But that’s not what this is about.

It’s the “bad qigong” Bao mentioned.

Arguably that’s good for health.

And it’s not about such superficial “posture”.

But we all know the Taiji is terrible troll posts,

This thread will only lead to your “no leg cut” “proof”/confirmation bias.

Good luck with your anti Taiji trolling

The back/spine bendings/moves should not be done consciously, that would be as bad as consciously trying to sink the Qi , it would not be correct TJQ practice, it would not be TJQ or Qigong practice for that matter at all...maybe yoga or gymnastics or even bodybuilding posing but definitely not TJQ practice.....

no trolling here

I had already found a good Taiji teacher back then, I just liked to collect video tapes and books on the subject.
My teacher taught the ZMQ form which he had good knowledge about.

My Karate teacher who hails from Malaysia has been going back to visit yearly ever since he moved to Sweden in the late 1970’s, on those occasions in Malaysia he practice with teachers of the ZMQ tradition, however back in Sweden he teach the Earl Montague system , his affiliation with that group is stronger through a couple of his fellow karate colleagues in Europe are in it too.

Not convinced. It looked pretty weak compared to many other XY "masters". He uses the fists much too independent from the rest of the body.

The superior way is to not get in the way, to get opponent to loose his way......that’s what it is...
I’ll guess that’s what the recent Bagua threads want to tell, not saying Baguazhang is superior. The same concept is evident in all martial arts....
