Beautiful 🙏
Master Gu's graceful moves, the snow capped environment, and the music -- all while daily life is going on around him. Beautiful!
I would dub it the " waterfowl dance" for it is very smooth and graceful. But I'm sure it already has a name in Chinese culture.
I liked the entire sequence. The entire sequence was my favorite ☯️ This brought tears to my eyes 🙏
This guy just reminded me how awesome planet earth is ..... thousands of years of discipline still blessing our lives today.....what true elegance for the art of movement itself
Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad this resonated with you 🌿💟
He looks peaceful, graceful and meditative! I felt the heart of China and their past...
As Sifu has aged his swordsmanship has tempered, the visual spectacle replaced with refined pure natural swordsmanship, nothing moving independently ,everything pure. Finally, this is not a taiji sword form, it is taiji sword.
Respect.
The position of the deadly sword, the body's stability, and the constant smooth motion are truly remarkable!!!
That had me in tears at the end. Amazing. God I can't wait to come to China at the end of the year. Master Gu is looking quite regal in this video.
My heart is in Wudang. May it ever be so.
Quite mesmerizing to watch.
I've been searching for the answers that I've failed to find for a decade. How to overcome deep depression, daily high stress, how to deal with external negativity directed towards you.... Ive tried everything i could think of...nothing worked. Until i listened to a progressive rock music where there was a segment of bruce lee saying " be water my friend". It stuck with me, and through him, i found Daoism. The wisdom presented is incredible, and it translates incredibly well to even modern life.
Some concepts are very hard to grasp, especially for ESL, but through masters Gu, ive understood them better.
China is such an amazing place with incredible history. I hope ill have the chance to see it in my lifetime.
Thank yo for this wonderful video. Much love from Europe.
This fills my heart with love…
Sanfeng 64! One of my favorite forms. First time I've seen Gu's version. Thanks for sharing.
Tai chi is the coolest thing ever. This man gets the spirit of Tai chi.
The music was beautiful. I liked seeing Master Gu's demonstration with the people around the temple. My favorite was the closing, very dramatic, really beautiful.
Thanks for sharing George. Master Gu is a delight to watch. The entire choreography from start to finish was a gentle flow of a spiritual healing process in sword skill . The background drop & music truly enhanced the beauty of this dedicated performance 🙏❤️Amituofo
Beautiful Poetry ..in motion.. thank you for sharing
His shoes look so comfortable. Appears as the cotton slipper but with extra tread, like sports shoes 👟
Thank you George and can you thank Master Guu for his beautiful demonstration of the tai chi sword stay safe George & Master Guu✌️
So beautiful! ❤
Very elegant and powerful and amazingly beautiful and graceful and strong. Thank you.
Your camera work is incredible! Capturing all the movement and elegance of the art.
New to Tai Chi but the inactive it's having on me is mind blowing. I am so grateful for this beautiful art.
Incredibly beautiful!!! ✨️🔥❤️
Fantastic demonstration Sifu Gu,
I miss you and your energy and it warms my heart to see you are doing well.
Take care of him George, I hope things are doing better for you and your financial situation.
Xie Xie, Jian

This was absolutely beautiful!!
Grace and powerful ...
Such skill and art by Master Gu
What beauty of motion, the music made it dynamic and peaceful all at the same time. His fluidity of motion made believe it was at one with nature and the flow of water. Wow....Just Wow.
Amazingly gracefull! like water

I watched with admiration🧡
So gorgeous!! Thank you both for sharing this.

Beautiful!
Beautifully shot
Woah, so much talent ❤
Ooooooomg, that is amaaaazing
He's breathing as normally as it was when he finished the last stance, you won't tell that it was after a whole set of sword dance. That's not a sword he was holding, that's just a part of his spirit.
This master presents the look of spiritual world of ancient Chinese
Magnificent!!!
I like this a lot.
Flowing easily
Incredible and it even started snowing
Yes! So cool
By George, you have done it again! Absolutely Brilliant! Inspiring! With the snow, it looks magical ! I have replayed it a number of times. Master Gu is in his element! Wow !!

@@George-Thompson You are so welcome.
Beautiful work!
Thank you! Cheers!
❤❤❤!such a stunning art SHIFU show us
Currently learning this form. As usual with slight differences owing to the ‘family’ of tai chi but certainly recognise most of those moves.
Wow so beautiful and powerful, I can't fully find the words
Nice to see old friend
I still have my staff
Much love for everyone
I hope your soul is well
☯️🙏
Thank you and likewise 🫶🏼🤗
Вижу первый раз
Дай Бог человеку
здоровья.
Beautiful! And lovely music too, where can I find this music?
The Tai Chi was breathtaking and didn't need the mention of snow in the title imo
Iam more into yoga but each time I watch a movie or video about those Chinese masters and those wudang style location IAM totally in tears ...can't explain why...maybe I should just go there❤
Maybe you should! 🫶🏼
❤❤❤❤❤❤Just wonderful 😮😮😮😮🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Incredible! George, I have been meaning to ask, what is your prefered stock music site where you get all the awesome music for the Master Gu and WTWA soundtracks?
Daaaoo
The footwork, balance and shifting weight tho 🌊
☯️🙏🏼
❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 beautiful ❤❤ thank uuuuuuuu
🙏🏼💟🤗
Love this ! What kind of sword is that?
非常漂亮!
Ок!
Great video - next time show all of your sifu's leg-/footwork!
The song is so spellbinding. What is the name of it? The music along with his sword dancing reminds me of Immortals flying
What inspires each different move, direction, is it being in the flow?
紫霄宫, many good memories there ❤
We were there in the evening for a training in the building at the top of the Monk's quarters, a clear starry night.
I walked outside with a beautiful gal I loved, and we saw what was most certainly a UFO. . . something that moved across the sky in horizontal and vertical lines, much too quickly to be anything known-to-laypeople technology.
一路平安
Sounds amazing, thank you for sharing this 🫶🏼
I was under the impression that Qi Gong was quite under fire in the China. Is this not so?
If so. Do be careful. I have no doubt you and master Gu know what you are doing.
I pray for your safety.
I believe Christians and Taoist have much the share, and much to learn from each other.
💙
Incredible. Thank you for sharing. May I ask what Form is this? The beginning resembles a routine my mom use to do. She learned from a Master from China 40 years ago.
Sanfeng Taichi Sword 64 Forms
Watched it at 2x, he slayed his enemies valiantly 💯
haha 🙏
What is the name of the song, please? Thanks
it is as if with kungfu, we complete the art wisdom
🙏💪✌️🧡
Don't let your breath taken away too easily, it's not Taoist's way (but very American).
😄😄😄🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍🌹🌹🌹🌹
If that was in UK he'd be arrested for carrying an offensive weapon.
Don't know why Chinese always want to use those old martial arts to compete against modern mma in a bare hand fight while all of them need to use weapon like sword, dao, spear, etc...
