Welcome to the Tai Chi Academy where we share routines and practices related to the Chinese Nei Jia (inner family) arts.
Training concepts in the forms opening movement.
Throughout Taiji there are opportunities to train our body method, to understand what is happening and why. There are also equally as many opportunities to avoid that same training.
Here Coach shows an example of how something as simple as raising and lowering the arms in the forms opening motions can contain keys to the whole of Taiji's movement dynamics.

Tai Chi Loops - Hold the ball / Ward off
มุมมอง 612ปีที่แล้ว
'Loop' training is an integral part of Tai Chi and can be a focused practice unto itself. In Loops training we take complimentary movements from the Tai Chi Form, Nei gong or Jibengong and combine them into a repetitive practice to constantly refine and improve our ability to understand the underlying principles and lessons of the movements. Here is a lesson from the Tai Chi Academy 'Forms' gro...

Tai Chi Application - Understanding failure & continuing your attacks.
มุมมอง 7292 ปีที่แล้ว
We see so many applications of Tai Chi where after one or two movements the exchange stops. This is a mistake and builds bad habits. I can say from both my time as a nightclub doorman, and from engaging in years of combat sport, that the first attack is rarely the fight ender! This doesn't mean that we should abandon the ideal of trying to end the fight as quickly as possible - just that we sho...
TCA - Drill to find and feel the off balance line
มุมมอง 8082 ปีที่แล้ว
Many martial arts understand and work with the off balance line. In Japanese Martial Arts like Judo or Aikido this line forms part of the methodology is called Kuzushi. In Taiji we also have to be very aware of this off balance line and how to effectively identify and use it. This simple drill from the Tai Chi Academy Combat Module is one that you can try to improve your sensitivity to the off ...
Peng as Structure
มุมมอง 7K3 ปีที่แล้ว
In this video we look at how utilizing 'Peng' in our structure can lead to the error of 'forming up' behind the point of contact. This can in turn make us vulnerable to the opponent as areas not involved in the path to the ground 'empty'. Video Taken from TCA Combat Module Course 6 - The 8 Powers.

Tai Chi Academy - head movement
มุมมอง 1.6K3 ปีที่แล้ว
One of the most common faults I see in Tai chi exponents training to fight is the 'static head' and an over reliance on their ability to capture and check with their arms. In the Tai Chi Academy Combat Module - Course 4 - Basic Fighting Skills - we look at drills to help us to get out of this habit while still retaining the Tai Chi Body skill. The Tai Chi Combat Module is launching 1st June 202...
Applying Tai Chi - The mechanics behind 'Lu'
มุมมอง 5K3 ปีที่แล้ว
'Lu', often described as 'roll back' is the primary 'yin' power of Tai Chi. But what does that mean? How can a 'yin' method be a power? In this video we look at the mechanics of 'Lu' and how these concepts permeate the methods which utilize Lu.

Very informative and useful, thanks
Et si vous pensiez en terme de tenségrité plutôt qu'utiliser la force pour résister
perfect
Thank you so much 🙏😃 great video- very informative.
Are you pulling his arm to the off balance line, or his Dantian or spine or something?
Thanks so much
Very good instruction. Thank you
Everyone wants to be a teacher, but clearly so few teachers have basic skills. This is not what peng is.
Everyone wants to be authoritative on the internet. This is Peng as taught in multiple lineages, it is Peng as seen in multiple internal masters I have met and trained with. I can make this work for health, fighting, everything that so few Taiji people can express and even fewer can demonstrate on anything but compliant students. So ultimately, 'guy on the internet' I will take their word, my understanding and my training over yours. You are very welcome any time to come and test it.
This guy gets it.
Very good explanation. Zero magic, just physics.
Thank you for this clear insight!
What line of Tai Chi Yang Style do you practice?
Very nice and very clear too.
Nice video Sir 🙂🙏🏼☯️👊🏼
Thanks, I needed this. I've been struggling with the brush knee sequence and wanted to practice at home.
Very Glad it is useful :) Happy training
do not lean into your partner when doing any of this stuff... ain't gonna work like that
Without exception every major Taiji exponent of the last 100 years leaned during the application of their art - from every style of Taiji - Chen, Yang, wu, Sun, Hao. The old yang style of people like Yang Ban Hou has a pronounced lean in all form movements as do many of its offshoots. To be completely upright is a major error and a myth spread by people who cannot fight with Taiji - often the same people would then 'lean' whenever they showed applications at fighting pace. It would be correct to say not to lean 'onto' your partner, as in give them your mass or weight. But that is not present in this video and I explicitly say to avoid it.
Loops are a great way to train ! Punching for example is only done a couple of times in the form and having punching drills or loops is really a good way to get better at it.
Is there anyway we can here the rest of this video please?
Excellent instruction with smooth and clear demonstration.
😉😇💀
An interesting take and explanation on remaining relaxed yet rooted and why it is important for good Tai Chi Chuan push-hands, redirection, and fighting development. We are taught if I feel his tension building it is also partly my own fault for if I truly yielded, sensed, followed, and stayed relaxed there would be nothing for them to push against. That is the point where you have already felt their tension starting to build and already flowed around it by reading where it wants to go. Your description shows yet another way of learning to sense this by exercising it to more of an extreme I Like it.
This is very basic Zhan zhuang training. Early lessons but with feet parallel and much more force from all angles then later on the side and on one leg. This is needed before starting taichi and is the traditional way so then you have the taichi body.
Best explanation I have viewed
Muchas gracias. Paz y bendición.
-Thank you for this fine explanation.
Hey man. This is absolutely the best explanation of this aspect I've ever heard. I do Systema and this is the language we use! Thank you for sharing!
Beautiful explanation!
First attack generally only ends a fight when its not expected, aka a sucker punch
Peng translated as ward off is very limiting. It limits it to being a posture instead of a power.
Only if you think of warding something off as some type of posture. What is the 'type' of power you would use to ward something off, no matter where contact occurred on your body? Ward off is an excellent term for describing the Jin of Peng IMO.
@@thetaichiacademy6079 sorry I should have added "in my opinion" to my comment, i trained in Yang style 30 odd years ago, they seemed to Peng as ward off, training again and again use of the arm to repel someone pushing against it, when I changed to the style from the Cheng Tin hung lineage Peng / Pang is the use of force in an upward direction, Lu is the use of force in a sideways direction etc.... I found this a better use of the eight powers, but of course that is just my opinion.
@@davidwackett9375 Ah yes, that type of thought about Peng - 'warding someone off with the arm' isnt how I would teach it either :) Peng has 2 aspects 'structural' and ' directional'. Firstly, Peng is essentially the structural component of the Tai Chi body. It is the 'expansion' concept, the opening of the joints etc. When this expansion interacts with the Earth (heaven Earth Man model) we get the directional aspect ' up and out'. Thank you for taking the time to clarify your thoughts. Happy training.
So generous! Tk you friend for your realistic translation of this "hard to explain" inner-art! 🙏🤝
When I relax the line of tension, I am no longer resisting the force and get pushed over. What am I doing wrong?
That's because you are only 阴, you should focus at least a part of your body, a join for instance, toward the other guy center, in order to have some 阳 in the process. I'm not a master, so I cannot say that I have the perfect answer, but I hope it can help. Have a good training !
Thank you very much 🙏
Thank you very much indeed! 🙏
bullshido at its finest, what a joke
Thanks buddy. I am a brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt, Multiple time British Champion, and was a doorman for 7 years. I understand combat well enough.
Best way to find out how good his fighting skills is go and fight him.
@@kanstehnewbie Agreed. My door is always open. Or people can meet me on the competition mats.
@thetaichiacademy6079 it's nice to see someone in combat sports understand the value of Taichi.
cool stuff, thanks for sharing!
Good explanation!
great stuff, essentials in martial arts, hide your own center and redirect the force to earth. Enjoyed your clear explanation.
great!!! the tai chi academy offers also the world best and most comprehensive on-line tai course! check it out!
come on Mike Sigman, instead of juggling with concepts, show us some examples and practical usage. Please do not refer to your very old videos (which i got decades ago). Show us what you have learnt in the meantime!
How about respon punch striking , is use the agility of stick hand too ? Because i ever learn one of style pencak silat use stick hand to respon the punch strike
If someone is good at punching, a MuayThai or Western boxing adept, it will be VERY hard to stick to the punch. You would have to move to 'clinch' range, which both styles also have, and work from there.... and pray they dont punch you unconscious on the way in. This video is not fighting though, this is adding specific skills to a training method called TuiShou.
Thanks for sharing.
Very good demonstration. Just calling it song is a bit easier than calling it relative density though.
I tend to agree. But 'Relative Density' is a description of Song, not a replacement for it. To the Student who speaks english it makes much more sense than the word 'song' in isolation :)
VERY GOOD SIR, THANK YOU . I WILL FOLLOW. VERY GOOD EXPLAINED.
Brilliant explanation.
It's like sending electrical energy to earth by using grounding rod. When you relax, you send your opponent's energy to earth. In return, the ground will push your feet upward to help you stabilize, according Newton's law of the equal and opposite reaction. Thank you for sharing the meaning of Song. Relaxation is power.
Nice explanation Sifu! Thank you!
Excellent explanation and demo!
Clear and useful explanation. Great job !
Youre in the beginning. But I can see your training is the honest way. You're not a faker. You know Sam Tam?
Thank you, No I do not know Sam Tam. I have seen some videos of him many years ago. Thanks.
