Yeah; the interior of China has progress a lot in the last 2/3 decades; however; I am still very worried that the kids donot learn more about modern; Science; Technology and Computing than they should in the West! Recently; I have moved into a Poorer area of England; United Kingdom where I have lived for 20 odd years....and they have the same bull-headed fanaticism about Soccer/ Football than the kids I have encountered in Guangdong Province after having visited there from Hong Kong. They take all that P.E. Running around; huffing and puffing too seriously!....Whereas; they should be more academically inclined; remember football/any kind, including Rugby, Grid-Iron, Etc. stars only last until they R in their late 30s and early 40s... Then they get into trouble; financially and become "Assistant Coaches" or Whatever.... China still has a long way to go in terms of basic-infrastructure and Real-Estate and the finer points of life.... Recently; I suggested to a Mainland Caterer with decades of Cooking experience, that In-order; to really clean some stainless steel cooking equipment; he should use Sodium Hydroxide; U know Na+ OH-(aq); Soda-Crystals. He just looked at me blankly and Smiled like Odd-Job in OO7-Goldfinger. (Like I knew nothing!). And; to a really Arrogant Tailor who was using wire-wool to clean the Surface of a heavily soiled Clothing-Iron..... I suggested; that he should use an Iron-Cleaning: "Stick"....I showed him how.....he looked at me like I was his worse enemy.....like i'd embarrassed him for life! China should send more open-minded youngsters abroad to receive a superior Western Scientific Education....than being cooped up in it's own borders and learning impractical things like whatever; "Fu" or "Do" that is in vogue at the current time! One; should remember that Deng Xiaoping in his Teens was in France, Europe, studying in middle schools in Bayeux. And even had a lowly Job in a Renault factory and as a fitter. Do not be Brainwashed with all that Chop Socky Stuff...It is just the Chinese version of Soccer and P.E. When the whistle is blown at the end of playtime.... Pay Proper Attention; at Proper Academic Class...

True Matt !

Isn't taiji just Falun Gong remarketed by the CCP? You can see it in the movements and the breathing methods.

Me too

Maybe will visit one day.

The communists did a good job of destroying tai chi in China ( they are now trying to resurrect it as a commercial / cultural asset ) You would be better off finding authentic tai chi from the teachers that fled to Hong Kong ,Taiwan ,Europe and USA

Ouyang Feng, is this you 😂😂😂

"Probably" is one of those words one should never use. Now, some believe taijiquan was founded by a certain immortal character at Wudang mountains. And I do mean immortal, literally. Some also believe, that a certain traveling monk from India brought a lotta stuff to China back in the days. Who's to say what really happened? Avoid making assumptions. Try to feel the connection instead. Xiexie.

What about the slow movement in Chen style?

Hello where did you do your research on this information ? I would like to know more. Thanx

Interesting, but also I wouldn't get too caught up on definitions of what is and isn't. Looks at the foundational principals, looks at the similarities and the difference. Nothing will ever be exactly the same or totally different.

@Gieszkanne If you define it like that, than Yang style isn't "tai ji" as well, because Yang Lu-Chan learned Hung Gar before and after his time with the Chen family some to me unknown teachings from his stay in the (Wudang?) mountains and created out of these three sources his style.

Sensei Logan You should monetize your content to take a vantage of your viewers

@@misterfourskin3527 yea so what is this you speak of?

Ben Quinney Mosh Pit

Mr. Trump is that you? Lol

why? i dont understand your comment

Nice theory, unfortunately you're wrong

You (uniforce101) are absolutely right... Zhang Sanfeng (of Wudang) invented Tai Chi. The other forms such as Chen and Yang are derivatives of Wudang's version.

As Mr Pov ah, that's not what he said

there is no evidence that Zhang Sanfeng even existed

Wudang is the Shaolin of modern days. No real masters, only former wushu athletes making money on tourists.

Fernando - please don't talk about things you have no knowledge about.

You're showing your ignorance of what gongfu, and the other original martial arts, are really about. The real problem with you "fighters" is impatience. Even Bruce Lee didn't stick to learning Wing Chun long enough to learn the deeper practices that would have given him complete fighting prowess. And that's a commentary from a man who grew up and practiced with him-Hawkins Cheung. There's more to gain from martial arts than beating someone into the dirt.

I’ve never worn helmet. I’ve never had to. Ask me about the dangers AND I WILL tell you where you are wrong. Number one, you don’t know one damn thing about my helmet wearing business other than what I just told you. And number two, that’s about the extent on all the knowledge about me and helmet riding safety that there is to know. I was wrong about you and I apologize. I commented on one of your video comments and I was completely wrong about you as a person.

You really don't know what you are talking about. Before I continue, you being a (likely) martial artist, you're as fake as they come. True martial artists never put down any other styles. Now my point. MMA fighters are not superior on their own facing a practitioner of Tai Chi Quan, Kung Fu, or any other style. The only way they know how to win is the fact they take a steroid/supplement known as Halotestin. That's something countless MMA, BJJ, & others take before a match which gives them increased rage, & spikes strength levels humans don't normally posses. This is prevalent in UFC & MMA fighters just as frequently as bodybuilders take multiple types of steroids for specific body parts to gain an advantage over the bodybuilder staying completely natural.
