Tai Chi Chuan - Wudang

I'm more along these lines:

I do/will take instruction and training but currently I let the feel of energy flowing through my body direct itself to go where I need it the most. The movement that complements the energy is spontanious envisioned. It really a very cool experience.

I am actually trying to perfect this video. So no tai chi does not always have to be the same.

that's a great sword form Jayden!

Wow, this is great stuff! Thank you guys so much for sharing. I've been trying to find a real fundamental Tai Chi teacher for a long time. But this will do just fine

Forms are generally made by a GrandMaster, and this is how you recognize different schools, by simply watching forms...

My GM simplified the color belt forms in our school... It allows more time for sparring , and self defense...

To learn a system (I am an instructor), you need a starting point... Unless you are a Master, you should probably not be trying to make your own form...

The flow allows the practice to haveca rhythm, and increase the speed and strength with which one can hit their stances/moves...

Doing them in an order does not affect the practicality... lol...

Once you start seeing the forms in the self-defence, or the sparring move, things begin to click...

In the first black belt form in MooDukKwon in TaeKwonDo, there is a move we use all the time called "knife hand block/strike"... Then the hand rolls around the head, then an isometric punch from the other hand, to (now behind the imaginary head) hand...

Once the students realize where these steps actually fit, their eyes light up....

There's a reason why the forms arevas they are...
