This is the stuff Tai Chi is made of. This is where the "lights go on"! Ending the 2nd third and beginning the 3rd Third. The third 3rd of YLC form sees an even smaller circle set of movements. The hands are raised up a little higher to indicate that the "Qi is raising up the back" Also shown are the devastating dim-mak applications of small frame.
I began my Videos with the idea that I would not hold things back like others would. So as you can see, I now have more videos on every possible subject of the Internal Fighting/Healing arts than any other instructor and was also the FIRST person ever to put Tai Chi onto Video way back.
Chen's Taijiquan laojia Yilu (74) is mainly soft, with hardness in softness. The posture is relaxed and generous, the footwork is light and steady, the body method is natural, and the internal strength commands the whole body.

Master Randy Elia's Guang Ping Yang Tai Chi Applications

Championship Tournament in Baltimore, MD.
(Guang Ping Yang tai chi is viewed as and old version of Yang Style and the lost link between Yang and Chen Style tai chi. It was passed on from a disciple of Yang Ban Hou and was taught by Master Kou Lien Ying when he settled in San Francisco in the 1960s. - TC_J)
Michelle tested the offensive side of the fighting set this past weekend in Boston. She was nervous, not used to the floor (going from concrete to wood to a matted surface feels strange), and not entirely warmed up ("okay, you test in 5 minutes"). She passed! Although she's improved significantly since testing the opposite side she still has a long way to go,
Corrections included maintaining better root, being softer (still too Shaolin), and giving more trouble to her opponent. Now her job is to make what she has better and to begin changing targets & techniques to make the sequence more free and alive, eventually becoming Taiji sparring.
"Taiji Fighting Set (Taiji San Shou Dui Lian, 太極散手對練) is a 5th level requirement in the YMAA Taiji curriculum. The Taiji fighting set was designed so that two people could practice together in a situation resembling actual fighting. The main purpose of this training is to teach the student how to step and move his/her body in the most advantageous position in combat. Naturally, it also teaches the student how to avoid being channeled into a disadvantageous situation. The student needs to have practiced stationary pushing hands first, so that he/she can combine that experience with the fighting set to make the techniques come alive."
As transmitted via Banhou's disciple Gong Runtian.
(Yang Banhou was a son of Yang Style founder, Yang Luchan, and was known for his great power. His tai chi was small frame and he had few students. Due to his power and hot temper, few would dare to learn from him, not wanting to be injured. - TCJ)
One of the key distinctions between the internal arts is that Xing Yi fortifies the center, Bagua moves the center and Tai Chi dissolves the center.
Of course these principles go way beyond what is shown here.

Wudang Tai Chi (taiji) is one of the oldest and most original forms of Tai Chi from the original roots of the style. This is The San Feng Pai variation of the Wudang Taiji 28 form. It is a subset of the original San Feng Pai Wudang Taiji 108 form. It is said that this is a direct descendant of the Tai Chi originated by Zhang San Feng 張三丰 in the Song Dynasty in approximately 1200 AD. He is thus the originator of the concept of "Internal Martial Arts".
Tai Chi (Taijiquan) is often dismissed as an not an effective martial art in the mixed martial arts and modern sports combat circles. I give my argument why in today's modern society where you are engaged in conflict situations daily and cannot win your arguments by knocking out or submitting your opponent, the martial art philosophies of Tai Chi are the most effective in navigating your life's conflicts.

Yang, Sau Chung (1910-1985), was the eldest son of Grandmaster Yang Cheng Fu. He started learning his family style when he was 8 years old under the strict supervision of his father. At 14, he started to assist his father in teaching Tai chi chuan. By the age of 19, he was travelling throughout China with his father to assist in teaching Tai chi.
In truth, many people who have claimed to learned from Yang, Cheng Fu actually learned from Yang, Sau Chung. In 1949, he moved to Hong Kong, and he taught privately at his home until his death in 1985.
His dedication to Yang Family Tai Chi Chuan was as equally committed as his father, grandfather Yang Chien Hou, and his great grandfather Yang Lu Chan; and, as a result, he achieved one of the highest levels.
Yang Sau Chung passed on the family transmission to his First Disciple, Ip Tai Tak, (1958) and his three daughters, Amy - Tai Yee, Mary - Ma Lee and Agnes -- Yee-Li. He also accepted two other Disciples - Chu Gin Soon (1977) and Chu King Hung (1983).
Master Ip Tai Tak was taught the Yang Family's System (now it's called Snake System) and became Master Yang's practice partner for the next 28 years. Ip Tai Tak has two Disciples, John Ding and Bao Tak Fai (Robert Boyd).

John Bracy demos and explains internal power striking for the internal martial arts. This type of FA JIN is not a push or "bounce back." The strike releases internal energy into the opponent's body. As shown in the video, Bruce Lee was a master of the first kind of internal power - that based on "vertical alignment" and instant weight transfer from the back to the front leg (vertical spring power).
Briefly introduced here and described on our website:
The second type of power is based on Taoist yogic principles that trigger bio-electric fields in and around the body. This allows for "disruptive information" to merge with technique that can for a split second weaken the opponent. It is the best explanation so far to explain the uncanny abilities of the most famous "light touch" masters such as Morihei Ueshiba, Wang Xiangzhai, Yang Chen-fu, and others.
