Some anime techniques are more real than you think! These creators really do their homework and we can respect them for that.
Also, respect the strength of your opponent! Someone as strong as Biscuit Olivia in the story, who is based on real life Mr.Universe Sergio Oliva, would likely crush my hand before I can do execute the technique ha ha.
I searched all I could for this explanation previously and then you done a whole video! - this channel is one of the best and underrated! Keep up the good work
Thank you for your gracious comment! I'm glad to have fulfilled that search for you!! 😃🙏🙌
Excellent demonstration Shifu Lin. Its amazing how the Song and Qi method are very similar, relying on subtly unbalancing your opponent, but result in different ordering of structural collapse; and then you have Neijin and Yi which are purely dealing with external energies and intention.
I know Yi is the most advanced but for me if I ever manage to be competent at Neijin that would be enough for me to attain in Taichi, just the idea of outside energies which you can utilise to overcome your opponent and not having to rely on your own physical strength...you have no idea how amazing this realisation is to me personally, that this is even possible. Thank again.
Haha yes you are right that even accomplishing just Neijin would be very satisfying and beneficial. The good news is that once you attain Neijin, it's really not much harder at all to master Yi, as soon as someone points you ni the right direction. And Yi Mastery provides really big benefits psychologically and spiritually, as you rise above everything to the pinnacle of human consciousness and experience. That would be something worth exploring, would it not? 😃🙏🙌
Not only is this a little something "to keep in your back pocket" it is an excellent representation of the five skills made tangible for anyone to understand.
Haha it could be a fun photo op moment if you’re weighing in and doing the stare down photo shoot for a pro fight! Aside from that there are variations of this principle that are useful if you get grabbed that we can present in the future! You’re right that it’s a fun way to look at the five foundation skills. Because it really shows how the foundations lie underneath all the fun and extraordinary things possible! 😃🙏
If I've told @outerlast once, I've told him a thousand times----please continue making these great requests !!
Shifu, what I appreciated most about this video was a great overview of all of the various techniques that are taught in your Foundation series, and seeing them in action. And, as usual, Moe is the perfect demo subject
Yes everyone please continue to share your thoughts, questions and requests! I think one of the best things about this channel is all the people that are a part of this community. And that totally includes Moe too!
Thank you all for a great time in 2024.

will do :D
Nice work Chester. Comprehensive. From my own experience and from watching other aikido masters, I see they mainly work on the first two, occasionally you see the third. Fourth and fifth types are rare. Nice to see all types assembled here. Well done..! You should do collaborative videos with "aikidoka" ("aikido practitioners"). Most of them are nice people (slightly competitive in the larger schools). It's a good idea to vet them because, like in taichi, perhaps more so, there are people who use aggression from years of cynically training under not so great masters (this was a regrettable thing but it happened due to people with not so much experience leaving Japan to spread the 'good teachings.' As such, they encountered difficulties and hardened themselves. After that, they became people who never share their secrets..!). Well, to be honest, it might be better not to approach them but to continue doing the occasional video like this, so they come to know, in a neutral way, that taichi can solve most aikido problems...faster, with comprehension and without pain. Some people, like me, have been quietly investigating these compatibilities for decades, even arguing for their historical overlap, transmission, diffusion, cooperation. However, most aikidoka are territorial nationalists (Nazis wouldn't be too strong a word) and are not mindful. But there are various types. It's also odd to find macho types who also mouth 'nonviolence' and 'harmony' while violating these principles in almost every 'powerful
move they do. I call them 'hypocrites' but people are too overawed by the pain and injuries they cause to call them out. You know how it is. Taichi went through a similar degeneration, many trials, via historical and political circumstance. Hopefully, we have entered a new era of sharing, learning, practicing with joy instead of paranoia and destruction. That is my hope. My idea may be similar to yours. My main goal is 'to learn joyfully'...and to keep learning this way. What is learnt through joy is hard to forget..! And joy has a natural way of being contagious. Because it's a high level energy it is also perceptive of energies which fall short of that. Self-defense takes place naturally as a result. Happy New Year Chester! - from New Zealand. ;)
Thank you for your ideas and insightful comments! I quite agree and especially with the optimism for a joyful learning journey to a beautiful future!
Can you do me a favor? I’m working on consolidating what everyone calls me so publicly let’s go with Shifu Lin as not everyone feels comfortable with more casual terms. You are a friend and you can call me anything but for anyone who prefers otherwise let’s set an example! 😃🙏
you can also use tai chi with armwrestling. If you put your thumb up and let the energy flow to your thumb upward. Then bend the upward energy over your opponents hand.
Another nice video! Best wishes for this year and thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Haha yea! You’re totally right! You can also use fingers aside from the thumb. Check out this fun little short where I demonstrate it with my pinky. That’s my friend that I hadn’t seen in a decade and of all things he became an MMA recruiter! So we were talking some martial arts and I surprised him with a lil demo. 😃

Cheers to a great new year! 😃🙌
You need to be confident in your handshake at the start. Knuckle crushers tend to quickly grab the fingers to stop you going into a deep handshake. Being quick and firm helps stop this trick. Pointing the index finger helps to get better contact into the persons body for all the other stuff. Fascia, Chi etc.
Great advice! You clearly have more experience with knuckle crushers than me ha ha. Realistically I would probably also want to have great bone density so that my hand doesn’t get literally crushed by someone that strong before I do anything else. 😆 Thank you for sharing your tip! 😃🙏
@@phoenixmountaintaichi😂😂😂
Great fun. Excellent as always. 🙂🙏🏼☯️👊🏼
Thank you for the kind comment! 😃🙏
i found a clip from what i think is the same anime, it showed a beast-like man pushing his face through a thick glass, and just broke through, no injury, not even losing breath or something. so i thought, ok that's not aikido or taiji, right? lol
anyway happy new year :D
I hope you are not asking me to push my face through glass 😆
That particular anime, Baki, portrays fighters to have extremely high durability and injury resistance. Life surely would be more fun if that’s the case. 😁
@@phoenixmountaintaichi if you include that face pushing thingy in your curriculum, i'd say i'm not fit for taiji lol
but looking in the anatomical design of the characters in that anime, i guess it's one of the hyper masculine ones, like fist of north star. that one i still remember bits of the plot, very nostalgic :)
Thank you again.
Thank you for your kind comment! 😃🙏
So basically, Aikido is Japanese Tai Chi.
Yes I think different masters, in different times and places, experienced what we call the Dao and expressed it in their marital art in their own and ultimately related ways. Because as you aspire for a certain truth, a certain unification and harmony above all that you have learned, we all begin to converge, like how a mountain is wide at the base, but converges to a point as we arrive at the peak together! Thank you for your comment. 😃🙏
@@peterkhew7414 sshhh the term Ki or Chi is forbidden amongst some practitioner. Actually I saw a Wing Chun Grandmaster try to explain to his student what made very simple in this videos or channel and the explanation in this video is make sense.
You may be on to something. I've done a little of both. If you do aikido moves slow and solo, most people would think you are doing tai chi. Practitioners of the arts would be able to tell the difference however, for their knowledge of individual techniques. They share many internal characteristics; relaxation, breathing exercises, visualization, energy beats strength, harmony-balance, dantien-onepoint, combat timing, use of peripheral vision. They probably share a common ancestor from over 500 years ago (early records of aiki in japan). Likely out of India, and if I had to guess, out of a ritually mindful source, maybe monks or yogis. Both can be counter intuitive, and aren't picked up quickly. Historically speaking this precludes them from being taught to large groups going off to war, but not smaller groups with more time like monks, special forces, and elite members of society. Both can be combat effective, but on the surface they both keep it in their pocket so to speak. More like spiders than lions. Aikido also has obvious similarities with the Indian art Sanatan Shastar Vidiya. It would be interesting to find out if Sanatan Shastar Vidiya shares any internal concepts with tai chi and aikido.
😂fun Thank you for this video cause it enhance my aikido understanding. Does tai chi cultivate Chi to make you stronger? Just like a muscle training to gain power?
Yes AikiTom not only are you right but you are probably also psychic and or one with the universe, because using Taichi internal skill to lift weights and strengthen yourself is the video coming out tomorrow! Stay tuned and you’ll probably get the shoutout in the next video. 😃🙌
@ Thank you very much, I am truly learning from your videos about Heavenly Chi/Ki and learn to align myself to the Dao actually, from my perspective.
