I had a lot of fun practicing these applications the last couple weeks. Thanks for opening the door to some greate usage for this posture. I have also changed the way I usually practice the form to reflect your stepping method, as I think it is very functional. And it helps develop my balance! One day I hope to be able to stand solid as a rock, like you at the end of this video. Inspirational.
Great stuff..thanks fot fleshing out applications an adaptations from the chen pan ling..lots of detail to pour over and digest..done chengman ching style for few years and would have to admit having only a limited principled knowledge of repulse monkey..neverthe less has still come in handy..but would i be right in saying coupled with the spirals and footwork of bagua and superior insider hand body technology etc.makes for a far more comprehensive study an takes it to a higher level.. p.s. liking the blade runnery atmos sound track 👍
Hello... thanks for your feedback! Yes as a matter of fact, there is a certain version of Gao style Tiger that is done in a similar fashion as repulse monkey, however as demonstrated from the taiji perspective, there is usually more emphasis on the push and pull aspect being applied as a fajin hit to the body or head.. For smaller folks like me I find it better to use as an unbalancing trip or throw.. Jimmy Hendrix style!
I think i follow you.. and id like to see that.. I only have a fairly fledgeling knowledge at this stage of 5he game so i dont mean to come across smarter than i am..theres more 5han enough for me to aim for there over the years..much appreciated Marcus...and great riff...your all along the watchtower here 👍🎸😊
I must admit I personally like to practice throwing and tripping apps..nonetheless, this particular "repulse monkey" is often done with emphasis on the hit.. that being said, I'm a big fan of Wu style.. ..hopefully next life time I'll have an opportunity to enter that door.. thanks Doc!
@@marcusbrinkman3066 Somebody told me there is a yang and a wu variation of repulse monkey in the Chen Lan Ling form. The form as Chen Yun Ching does it contains two variations. I am just curious if you practice two versions of repulse monkey in your version of the form?
Hard to say but that sounds about right. Often the people I meet who have practiced Chen Pan Ling practice several styles of Taiji.. and it seems that may tend to influence the flavor of the form.
Marcus I learned so much from this video watching it every once and a while over the last couple years. Could you tell me if those hard stops at the extreme end of each posture is part of CPL tai chi or if it's just you emphasizing postures for the demonstration? Also why is your CPL tai chi more aggressive and martial than what I've seen, is it because you learned it with Luo when he was younger and preserved that flavor or is that your own signature? Or did you get any tai chi lessons from Hung Yi? Either way this is great, I'm just trying to get an understanding.
glad to hear there are things in the vid which are useful for you! The hard stops are (yes) to emphasize the completion of each form in the series. Also the leg position is a bit higher than in my usual practice.. As for it being more aggressive, I guess I prefer to take a more pro active approach. I think it can be helpful in setting up a 2 person exchange wherein they find themselves trapped, rather than a passive defensive approach..however both should be practiced. I learned CPL in the states before I came to Taiwan, so I pressed Hung and Luo for applications whenever possible.. so yes, they both were rather heavy handed.. More-so than I am able to muster. Both like to jar your structure and shake your brain with each successive movement..It made a real impression on me..
As a drill, leading with the head and neck is a good way to integrate the underlying structural power. Good to initiate this movement by "pulling up the back" (Babei) or pulling in the chin. Let me know what you find..
thank you very much marcus you too i really like your application videos on taichi, bagua and hsing I
I missed this one somehow. Always a pleasure, Marcus.
Thanks Shawn.. hope you are doing good bro!

Love the details! I’d love to see your interpretation of Wu style Repulse Monkey where it seems the emphasis is on a strike or throw.

Great work! Marcus you ply your teaching with such depth. Is this from the CPL style?
PS I'm happy you have such a strong Bagua integration!!
Hi, thanks Tyson, yes from Chen Panling but also similar to standard Yang style.
@@marcusbrinkman3066 now I need to look over a few varieties sun,cpl, and yang. Love the leading with the head and neck very clever.
