Strong Man vs Tai Chi: Using Tai Chi to Overcome Strength; A Secret Revealed

 

 

In this video, Susan Thompson Tai Chi, picks a person she does 
not know who has considerable size and strength advantage and experiments to see if she can move him from his base when he 
resists. She demonstrates using the Tai Chi principle of connecting 
to the opponents fascia. Watch as Susan not only demonstrates success, but also teaches the technique in a short amount of time 
to someone not indoctrinated to Tai Chi. 
 
Many thanks to Phoenix Mountain Tai Chi, Chester Lin for bringing together my skills and sharing his knowledge generously. Also to my late Master, Master William Ting for teaching me internal principles 
of Tai Chi.

Taijijian 32 – Tai Chi Sword 32 Back View

 

I recorded this in February 2019 during a stinking hot summer, as evidenced by the crispy brown grass. It was 8.30 in the morning and already 30+ degrees C under a cloudless sky, which made it very difficult to look to the east. 
 
For the text showing which directions to face and direct the sword, I used an excellent book as reference:
 
 Taiji Jian 32-Posture Sword Form by James Drewe
 
Also, I didn't realise when I started that it was a dog park... 
...I discovered that along the way!
