yes sir... I agree it is also not just an art form. They are showing a form, it has basic core movements and each of those basic core movement has several elements hidden inside... If each movement is taken out of the encyclopedia of movement, which is what a form is. Each movement if taken out and trained and applied, all work in combat. The form is not for fighting, it is filled reference points. To train for fighting each movement is to be taken out of it and perfected and applied until that is also perfected. each hand, finger, elbow, foot etc., is to be conditioned, perfected to lethal perfection. Then it can compete with any Martial Art in hand to hand combat. I used it in underground Kickboxing in Hong-Kong, Thailand, Taiwan and Japan...61 matches and no loses, it was bareknuckle, no rules. It's just knowing how to train and applying it.. The movements have to be refined down. In the forms it teaches big movement to help teach and feel it so it is easier to grasp and learn. I also taught hand to hand combat in the United States Marines Corps to special forces, teaching how to apply and use these arts. I currently have 59 years of on going experience and as the old saying goes in internal arts... if done correctly you just keep improving with time and age. In many ways i am much better than i was in my 20's etc... I started at age 8 and grew up around Chinese Kung-Fu masters... we trained 8 plus hours every day, 7 days a week. If I only trained 6 hours it was like taking the day off. My point is this stuff works. It was not designed for gloves or a sport of rules to fight by. To put gloves on you lose all that hand ability etc... The gloves have to be trained with and adapted to. Most of us would rather not throw over half the art away just to train for a sport. Believe me in the Marines and teaching special forces... it was put up or shut up. I was in charge of training and teaching our special forces and my orders came straight from the U.S pentagon... I had full say as to what i taught and how I taught and not even a General could over turn my orders without going through the Pentagon... I'm trying to convey that the real stuff works like a charm or there's no way I would have been granted full say or even to teach at all. I teach instructors these days. Most of my concepts and chi knowledge is over their heads, sadly. Most do not know what Chi really is etc.... Chi is the energy field of an atom. So in essence we have to learn the physics of an atom... the mind can turn it's self and body into what a neutron of an atom does. Everything made of atoms have an energy field, the mind and our body and the air and food we intake is made of atoms...thus each has chi. The mind is the controlling chi... and since it is of the same, it can blend with and control each atoms chi field in the mind and body. The mind unifies all the atoms energy fields and it becomes as one complete energy field... thus oneness happens, enlightenment. I do this every day. (also these days I do try to help some UFC fighters, it was difficult at first... Just about every time i showed them how to stop or prevent or attack, they were telling me, no we can't do that, that's not legal, that's not allowed... so i have to learn their rules just to help them! Hahahaha.. Sports have rules, True battle field combat has no rules.... One finger strike buried deep in the eyes will stop most things human or animal) Take care and best wishes to you and everyone.

Her form is amazing yet I doubt if she has internal power cause internal power is at a much higher level

Apisto Group she was a virgin girl in perfect white uniform...?

@Max Payne The accuracy of the movements, timing, rhythm, overall form etc.

Ozgur Senturk - she did ... it just takes her one who lifetime to blink ha ha ha

no, but she did adjust the cuff of her sleeve at one point.

thailand has dishonest monks that are not true buddhist practioners. Some of them go abroad. I saw one head monk, his behavior is dishonorable. Impolite, hungry for power and full of hate Thai monk. Thailand is country with no morals, running a prostitution brothel of the young girls. I have never been there.

she has tremendous force in her legs and buttocks.

Most people don't last 20 seconds...

ephraim patey ！

Agree!

Very graceful

are imaginary.....

Really,would like to belong a student of that school...

Because competition will bring the best out of you

@Koko Kosila -- I concur. The quiet power, grace and beauty of movement of the performers notwithstanding, this competition thing seems anathema to what I feel is the essence of Tai Chi.

Ebrahim Elhadidy - nope.

இது போன்ற உரையாடல்கள் மூலம் அவர் தனது முதல் பயணத்தை விரும்புகிறேன்

இது போன்ற உரையாடல்கள் மற்றும் பழுது கூரை அமைப்பு

Salman Rafi that’s the beauty!

Yes, each contestant develops his/her own form of proscribed length using standardized yang elements, Kind of like ice skaters in the free form part of the competition.

@@pattilapeche Thanks for that! I just saw your comment 8 months later! I got into Chen Taichi instead of Yang in the end! However if it is Taichi, it is awesome!
