😊

Watch how he moves his hands and practice that or watch how he moves his feet and practice that. Take it one little part at a time. One little part and practice that. You can do this!!! ❤️

It's good for the brain and stretches your mind, especially doing things on both the left and right sides

Find a class and dive into it! I took up taiji about 25yrs ago to try to heal from a back injury in the Army; after about 6mos the stabbing pains in my legs were gone, and I was almost as flexible as before. Because I kept with it, now at 60 I'm fitter than a lot of guys I see 20yrs my junior, and the only time my back gives me problems is if I do something dumb (like spar with my teen son lol). A journey of a thousand li begins with a single step....take the step!

Thanks for your encouraging reply Tommy it looks easy but he is a master so it would I’ve tried this and it’s not easy at all I’ll have to do it very slowly to maintain balance hopefully I will manage it as I’m convinced it will be of great benefit 👍

Thank you for sharing your experience. Keep up the dedicated practice, and enjoy the process. May you continue to find balance and nourishment from the universe 🙏

Im not sure what is it was back then but I just joined for 31 dollars a month. Not everyone can make that a priority I know, but in case you weren't aware there was a monthly option.

@@mickeysaathoff938 Very little is priced for people on a fixed income, this included. Thanks for the info though.

Use squat toilet for daily poops. It guarantees strengthening the knees n legs muscle.

@@peacebe2u480 Well that would actually teach you more than 'master' Gu actually. Who apparently is a master of nothing. Still, I understand you were being humorous.

Glad you enjoyed it!🙏 Much warth

@@mastergutaichi Thank You Sifu* Gu* , yes I very much enjoyed your video and all your great sharings. It has been a dream to visit Wudan for over 25 years. I have a practive in martial arts, yoga and chi kung. I mostly practice with the yoga and chi kung now, with a little of the martial arts. I hope I can visit one day learn and practice with you. Giving Thanks! ✨🙏✨Much warmth and best wishes ✨☯✨

I'm grateful for your appreciation. Thank you!

Go to your settings cog wheel - playback speed - select 50 speed. That should do it for you. Remember to breathe deeply, evenly .... and smile gently.

I would like this as well. It feels a bit advanced for me and would benefit from some more basic instruction before stringing all these movements together. Simply slowing the video is not enough.

@@julianneriise8362 Thank you for the suggestion, I know this is an option however I mentioned “step-by-step movements” specifically since I think only playing the video at a slower pace isn’t enough for breaking apart the movements clearly. At least not for someone like myself 🙂

@@jampuppy I agree, and hope Master Gu might consider this 😌

At the beginning, I have a same your thinking, but after listening the Master Eu said to pay attention to feet, hands, eyes I just recognize that about nature movements of our body. For example, when you push your hand forward: exhale, your same side feet and hand straight forward like you pushing your car. You may be able to do it in 15 minutes. Of course it is not smoothly like the master, but you don’t need to remember much.

Good grief.

@@peacebe2u480why? I don't understand your commet, and ask out of curiosity.

Mainly because they know 'Master' Gu is a fraud. It's basically a money making scheme between him (a former school teacher with very little experience) and George (who to be fair doesn't know any better). His Academy banks on what is called the 'Wudangshan revival' in China. Basically after the cultural revolution (which was a truly sad time for the mountain) nothing really remained. The mountain used to teach Neigong and a form of martial arts that aren't a large departure from Wushu (at Shaolin). You will see something closer to this if you look up [wudang academy] a group from the same place as Gu but teaching in Europe. They demonstrate the sorts of arts that were actually from there. Taijiquan (or Tai Chi) if you like, was never taught at the mountain. Master Gu has a very poor grasp of Yang style and a few other aspects (who knows who taught him that lol) - but ALL Taijiquan originates from Chen Family. Which you can look up on Wikipedia. Not the best resource at all but if you look up Chen Wangting the Chinese officer who created it, you will note that they do say [historically agreed by scholars]. So much so that we also hold the same view in Taiwan. And you can imagine how much of a strain that is with the politics! Anyway. In my small experience ( I am a student at the sports university and train at Olympic level under Bi Ying Liang) his form is almost completely wrong. Way too unstable in movement. If you go and compare to some of the competition Taiji on KZfaq you will have a better grasp than what I can write in English). So just be weary. He communicates ideas fairly poorly at the Academy and lacks any real depth or understanding of the philosophy he claims to teach. It's ok for a grandma in the park or a toe-dip into Taoism. But if you take even a moment to compare his 'lectures' with what I learnt from Professor Ziporyn and others - its a HUGE difference. I don't want to intrude on people supporting what they want; just bare in mind that Gu is being dishonest. Our texts are NOT vague. They do have a Religious component (which many aren't comfortable with). He's creating a bad precedent by claiming that they can be separated from the philosophy. They can't be. We consider the Huang Di / The 3 pure ones to be essential, for example.

Mainly because they know it isn't legitimate. It's basically about money making between him (a former school teacher with very little experience) and George (who to be fair doesn't know any better). It keeps erasing long replies for some reason, so I'll stick to that for now lol! Edit - ok, it seems to just be hiding the messages but they are there when I change to 'new messages' at the top. So that's odd. Hopefully the longer one I've left will remain.

@@ErraticFaithI have read your reply and it all is showing up - but I am not sure what you base your statements on? Do you have some "inside" knowledge of Master Gu?
