(4) Purpose of Sword Fingers | Tai Chi Sword Basics (#Taijijian #TaiChiSword)

Andrew von Plitt

Tai Chi Sword Basics

This is the 4th video in a series where I explain the basics of Tai Chi Straight Sword (Taijijian) training. In this video I discuss the main purpose for holding the Sword Fingers hand posture with your empty hand while practicing Tai Chi Straight Sword forms. There are a lot of different beliefs out there about why the Sword Fingers hand posture exists and several of those are discussed in this video also. If this video was helpful for you, leave a Super Thanks.

5 Moving Forces Tai Chi in Scotland

George Thompson

Fire, Water, Wood, Metal and Earth.

All five elements in one powerful tai chi form.

☯️ Follow along as we play Chungliang Al Huang's Five Moving Forces, a form of Tai Chi inspired by the wuxing or five elements of Chinese philosophy - Fire, Water, Wood, Metal, and Earth. This form is perfect for a quick burst of energy and tranquillity during a busy day, or can be extended for a longer practice.

I’m a huge admirer of Chungliang Al Huang and hope to pay homage to his wisdom and positivity with this demonstration. Shot in the stunning Scottish Highlands, this follow-along video is an excellent way to experience the benefits of this beautiful form. It’s also an excellent starting point for anyone interested in experiencing the advantages of tai chi for beginners.

Join me and take a step towards physical and mental balance and harmony! I invite you to take a break and experience the power of the 5 Moving Forces with me!

World Tai Chi & Qi Gong Day 2023

at the Ames Free Library - Easton, MA

Easton Martial Arts Center

AMES FREE LIBRARY

Welcome to the Easton Martial Arts Center channel. In this video

I am mostly off camera leading a group of awesome people who

came out for World Tai Chi and Qi Gong Day 2023. This is the 8th year celebrating this event at The Ames Free Library in North Easton, Massachusetts. It was a beautiful, cloudy morning. We all met up, had a light warm-up, practiced Tang Bom, and then performed the 24 Posture Yang Style Tai Chi (Taiji) Chuan set. We finished up the morning with Qi Gong (qigong) and a Gratitude Meditation.

I hope everyone had a good time!

Difference Between Qigong and Tai Chi

Janice Tucker

I am constantly asked by people, "What is Qigong?". I often start by asking them if they have ever heard of Taiji (Tai Chi). If they have then I can use their level of understanding of Tai Chi to explain what Qigong is.
