This is actual push hands. As soon as he mentioned peng, li, ji & an as the four basic moves I knew he was worth a listen. Some of the fake single hand wrestling matches are just clueless. Great post...

tai chi and yoga are the most sophisticated sciences human civilisation has created.

Excellent explanation and demonstration. His taiji and teaching skills are good! He has acquired a good command of english to transmit his knowledge to westerners, his students are very fortunate. Humble and intelligent! There are some great Taiji masters and some good teachers in the world today, few have both qualities. Yang Jun appears to be one of the few that has both!

I am most impressed with Master Yang's demonstration of the 8 energies. Great video!!!

is one of the best explanations. in physical movements that I've seen (for beginners). without talking about chi. (this is a another matter)

I only played the video because the sifu just looks highly rooted even standing there.

Thank you so much Sifu June. Very kind of you to open up the internal doors for non Chinese. Very much appreciated !

hands down this man is a master

Excellent explanation and demo! Thanks, GM Yang Jun!

Wow great explaination!!! Very good master

Same as the Chen style sequence, in fact he is the only Yang stylist I have ever seen do the set like this and there seems to be more than a bit of Chen in his structure

Fantastic!

great explanation...true master.

Very interesting

very good not often done in public.,.my teacher never put this on media.

I see a young Dragon, nourished on the wisdom of experience, wings grown strong, with only the open sky before him. Carrying his family's banner with honor, Master Yang Jun's actions benefit all. Many years I've wandered on the slopes of the Mountain, sometimes finding a cool shade and water, but mostly lost in thickets so dense one easily loses the Way. I see now the trail I've come across on occasion is the one made your Family. I would be your student if it were possible.

Thanks for sharing!

very cool, tai chi...

Any time, friend.

@Anglostani Well said..

Oh dang. I can only put five stars for this one :(

I don’t know what this is supposed to be, but if we trust the Taiji classics,* there’s one thing it ain’t: Taiji. This purports to be a demo by the “the Yang Chengfu Tai Chi Center.” But what do the Taiji classics and Yang Chengfu himself tell us? “The millstone turns but the axle does not.” In other words, we never lean. [Yang Chengfu, as quoted in Cheng Man-ch’ing. Cheng Tzu's Thirteen Treatises on T'ai Chi Ch’uan, translated by Benjamin Pang Jeng Lo and Martin Inn. (North Atlantic, Berkeley, CA, 1985); hereafter, “13T”]. There are no hands in Taiji (from the Classics).In other words, we never grab. 3. The fundamental movements of Push Hands are contained in Grasp the Sparrow’s Tail… . In other words, if you are not doing GST, you’re not even doing Push Hands. (13T) 4. Separate Insubstantial from Substantial. [a.k.a. “separate weight”]. Never be double-weighted. (13T) 5. No strength or speed. “When others use movement to attack, I [respond with] stillness …” (13T) And on and on and on. I’m sorry, but if you are going to present yourself as a “master,” you should at least learn the art you’re supposed to have mastered. See also, “Taichi or not Taichi-That is the Question: What do the Classic Say about Taichi?” at kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hLadZM1q0sq0eZs.html .

si lo que a algunos les preocupa del tai ji quan son las grandes demostraciones, me parece que equivocan el camino.

I apologize for the stupid question, but what's push hands for? Is it like the new way to fight?

dulawyer. Why do you say he is wrong?

I do not know Yang Jun but to challenge here him shows no class. A Chinese martial artist would understand Chinese culture and civil and martial ethics. Let Yang Jun teach his school as he wants, respect others no matter what you think of them. Also to speak badly of someone publicly, just reflects badly on the speaker. True martial artists respect other people and keep there opinions inside, and people that challenge are only trying to make a name or prove something, and embarrasses their Sifu.

Would you "Yang Jun" be open to a challenge in the near future? I am happy to make the drive. From Michael Belliveau 16th gen HeYiTongBei Quan disciple of WuMaoGui.

Master Yang is demonstrating some of the lower level skills that are definitely a vital part of Tai Chi Ch'uan. Why does everyone expect some mystical experience ALL the time? I think he is just being audience-centered; look at the audience! Tell you what, all you haters challenge him to a push hands contest, record it, and then post it on you tube. Until then, STFU! Have some more respect!

@zipdrive011 "Young master is explaining the prerequisites of basic push hands showing the zhou-hua (neutralizing) that requires zhan-nien-lien-sui. [...] If you say he is wrong, please prove it in writing." You're missing the point: Action speaks louder than words. Anyone can cite the classics, but that does not equal understanding or skill at all! "Prove it in writing"?? No! Prove it in practical demonstration of skill! We're waiting!!

@pitviper328 I feel for you man! I only touched hands with him once, many years ago (not competitively mind you). While he seemed like a nice chap, I was not impressed with his peng jin, which is also evidently lacking in this video! And to the "Yang family congregation": Before you start talking about "respect" and "ethics" again, first post a video that proves us wrong, or at least an eye witness account of these masters' supposed great skill.

@Anglostani Yang Zhen Duo was 4 years old when his father died, so of course he HAS to have the REAL secret inner teachings that noone else knows LOL! If he's the best, why isn't there a single video of YZD or YJ doing anything even remotely impressive on the whole of youtube? Please prove me wrong post a link to a video where either one of them really kicks ass -nothing would make me happier! But until then: Skills speak louder than words -or family name for that matter.
