This made me tear up because depression and anxiety is getting the best of me especially with this whole pandemic. I have wanted to start practicing Tai Chi but I have always felt too busy, until I saw this video and it made me emotional about how much I miss traveling and learning new religions and ways to calm our minds. Thank you for making this video, you’ve really inspired me.

I had learned some Tai Chi years ago but didn’t really take it seriously but thanks to your journey, I have decided to take it up once more. Thank you for the inspiration. May we all overcome our struggles and achieve peace.

Tai Chi has completely changed my life. I first started practicing it at 16, but became distant as I got older and transitioned to college/young adulthood (I also didn’t have a teacher). Last year, at the age of 24, I got back into it, found a teacher, and now do it every single day. As someone who suffers from severe mental illness, finding peace through Tai Chi has saved my life in many ways, and helped me to become a better person. Love this video George! It’s the first one of yours that I’ve seen, but you have a new subscriber who is excited to check out the rest of your content.

So thanks sir, I appreciate you.

Those commenting that Tai-chi wont help in a real fight or u will end u getting killed....I got news for u. You neanderthals have totally missed the point of this whole video. It was never about Tai-Chi, it was about George becoming a better person overall and him getting away from his "normal grind" back home. The whole new experiences in a foreign land with a "goal" had helped him grow as a person and to cope with his anxiety and build his mental well-being.

Tai-Chi is mainly a health art , though if you've practiced for a very long time, you can also use it as self defense. Over about 10 years of practice nobody will ever be able to push you over , if you ask 2 guys to push try to push you , they won't be able to xD

im so glad you went through with such an inspirational and powerful experience. i tried tia chi myself almost 2 years ago and I allowed the underminer to get me to quit but now I'm back and more confident in myself. i just signed back up for 1 year mastery and I'm excited!!

That was very inspiring, and so much along the lines of what I realize I have been searching for, though, in this very different time from when you decided to go to China. Thank you so much for sharing your journey, as it is directly affecting the journey of others.

This is one of the five major styles of Taichi: Chen style. Great editing ! Good to introduce people not familiar with Taichi and the culture behind.

Loved following the story of your journey and you are an incredible filmmaker! I loved all the shots and the way you put it together... Qigong is currently changing my life as well and so lovely to be inspired by others.

8:20. I’ve done martial arts for almost 8 years and I still have battles with my own underminer. I’m always worried about being judged and criticized so I hide my training behind closed doors. I hope one day to be able to live free from those restraints like you learned to do. Stay happy and positive.

Stephan Menge no. Not my problem. My problem is the fact that as a human being I am not perfect. I have flaws as does everyone. And I don’t like when those flaws are exposed. So I’d rather hide than be bold and defeat that voice inside my head that says I’m not good enough.
