Stop the Spread of FAKE Tai Chi
Online Tai Chi instructor certification programs is FAKE Tai Chi and an insult to those who devote themselves to the study of its deep philosophical and martial art. Understanding of Tai Chi takes time to cultivate. In the United States, there is no oversight authority for Tai Chi and a Tai Chi teaching "certificate" is not a real thing unless it is given by a respected school or master.
Shifu Shirley provides pointers on how to evaluate good and bad Tai Chi and shows how two of YouTube’s highest viewed Tai Chi videos are actually fake Tai Chi.

孙式太极拳 Sun Style Taiji Quan First Section
I really love the Sun style of taijiquan. Not so much for its martial aspects, because in fact it adds nothing new to the other styles of Taiji or Bagua and Xing Yi, of which the founder Sun Lu Tang was an expert. I love it for its immediate effects on the mind.
The frequent moments in the sequence of Kai Shou He Shou, opening and closing, are not simply a closing and opening of the hands: it is the whole body that pulsates and breathes, exactly as the whole universe does! It is like remembering, in the sometimes frenetic flow of life, simply remembering "to be".
Here the first section with an emphasis on some details that are often overlooked.
Amo molto lo stile Sun di taiji Quan. Non tanto per i suoi aspetti marziali, perché in effetti non aggiunge nulla di nuovo agli altri stili di Taiji o di Bagua e Xing Yi, di cui il fondatore Sun Lu Tang era esperto. Lo amo per i suoi effetti, immediati, che ha sulla mente.
I frequenti momenti nella sequenza di Kai Shou He Shou, aprire e chiudere, non sono semplicemente un chiudere ed aprire le mani: è l'intero corpo che pulsa e respira, esattamente come fa l'intero universo! E' come un ricordarsi, nel fluire a volte frenetico della vita, un ricordarsi semplicemente di "essere".
Qui la prima sezione con un accento su alcuni particolari che sono spesso trascurati.

Dayan Wild Goose Qigong 1st set 64 (HD)
I do not own the music in this video, copyrighted by the rightful owners.
The Dayan geese are Indian stripe-headed geese that breed in Central Asia. They are the highest flying geese, flying over the Himalaya mountains to hibernate in the wetlands of India. No wonder they are a symbol of strength and longevity.
This form originated in the Kunlun Shan Mountains, a place of great spiritual power north of Tibet, during the Jin Dynasty 1,800 years ago. The Taoist monks observed their movements and developed exercises based on that. They combined their knowledge of Chinese medical principles and meditation practices with the natural movements of the bird to create an extraordinarily powerful, graceful and natural system of healing and exercise.
I wish I would have met Yang Mei Jun, the late 27th generation lineage holder of the Dayan Wild Goose Qigong, before she passed at the ripe old age of 106. She was the first to break with the long tradition of secrecy and started teaching publicly at the age of 70. In the past in China, qigong (daoyin) was not passed on to just anyone. Yang De Shan, the 26th Dayan Qigong lineage holder, chose his 13-year-old granddaughter Yang Mei-Jun to pass on the teachings of Dayan Qigong. Her son, Chen Chuan Gang, who is still actively teaching at the age of 90, is now the 28th lineage holder of this qigong system.
She is known to often say, "Dao De De Dao Zheng Dao Xing", which translates as "When virtue and morality is the path the right Dao will flourish."
This may be taken to mean that right thoughts and actions bear right results and when the heart is pure the Dao will reveal itself. So, apart from developing the body and mind, it is very important and open compassionate and giving heart. Qigong is a way of life and practice with which we can achieve our full potential as human beings, to become not only healthy but whole.
The Dayan Wild Goose Qigong consists of two parts, each with 64 movements. Part 1 works more on the postnatal energy, Part 2 works more on the prenatal energy. The different movements activate meridians and acupuncture points so that the energy flows through the entire body smoothly benefitting blood circulation, breathing, coordination, balance, flexibility a clear mind, awareness, deep relaxation of body and mind.
