A special thanks. After 2 years I’ve finished learning the square form with a teacher. I used this video a lot to help me remember the sequence. Though the execution is different in my form, smaller frame and more segments, nevertheless this video was indispensable. Now begins the work all over again!
Richard Greenberg I'm learning from a teacher but always come back to this video as a memory aid for the sequence. I would however caution again using a video solely. I am constantly being corrected and making adjustments. There's a tremendous amount of stuff that is hidden from sight that only a teacher can help with. The choreography is not tai chi. I say this as it is possible to get into bad habits to the point it may look like tai chi but it isn't. Good luck.
You are right about the need for a teacher and I learned the forms with a teacher/student but would not have able to learn the forms as quickly and in such great depth without the videos on the screen every time I practiced. For this opportunity, I am exceptionally grateful. I might add that I have practiced other IMA styles for more than 40 years so my basic foundation was firmly in place.
"Something is better than nothing". -- Shop owner in China Town San Francisco. I have leukemia and other health problems and very little money. If videos on YT are what you can "afford" money or time wise, do that. Throw in some Western Boxing basics; also found on YT. That should give you some basics. You won't be able to beat up a cop, a Navy Seal or a ninja, but hopefully you won't need to.
Okay, I was looking at another Wu style 108 videos, and how he did the movements was rather off-- to put it nicely. It actually looked pretty horrible. But this guy I can read him a lot better. Its different than the Yang form that I'm used to or the Chen. But its recognizable as taiji and doesn't break the principles. Its reassuring to see.
The movements in this demonstration are robotic and broken up, lacking the flow and agility (circularity) that characterize Wu-style Tai Chi Chuan, as evidenced by the authentic demonstration of Grandmaster Eddie Wu. A word of caution: stiff body and broken movements are bad habits and fundamental flaws that are difficult to remove or reduce.
Taichi Wu 853 This guy’s on the journey. It’s great that he put this video up and is contributing to the world of taiji. That said, I don’t know if “agility” is the right word to describe Wu style. “Flow” perhaps...
This is the so-called "square form" or "joint form" of the Wu style. It is a common first form, a learning form, designed to help the learner see, do, and understand all the pieces of each movement. By moving slowly and robotically, with each movement having a clear beginning and end, the learner can ensure that the body is properly aligned for the transmission of force(s) at the beginning, in the middle, and at the end of each form. Once all the pieces are in place, it is fairly easy for the practitioner to transition to the more fluid "round form", and to execute it properly. Different teachers may have a greater or lesser amount of stop-start. If I recall correctly, Eddie Wu often used this as a first form for teaching. See, e.g., m.th-cam.com/video/5EY2i9m5XKg/w-d-xo.html
首先，我並沒說過我是入室弟子。你由頭到尾只是針對影片中的斷續生硬問題。之後便是對本人及師父的人身攻擊。練拳本來就是很個人的事。我把自己練拳的經歷拍下來留個記錄給大家分享。其實不喜歡也沒所謂，因為任何人對任何事也有不同的睇法。並沒有所謂。 很老實，人並沒有完美，可能你覺得我的拳未練成，把自己練的拳那來顯臭。不過我覺得這是學習過程的必經階段。可能你已經練到宇宙級數，不過可惜我到現在仲未睇到，或者你覺得你太厲害我們這些晚輩不配。不過我都係覺得沒有所謂。 不過其實如果你睇唔明我的「長文」，你即係未明白「氣」。咁其實你應該唔明我講乜。 其實令你失望也沒有所謂，因為我根本不認識你。我唔一定要人地認同，沒人敢說他會是絕對啱，或絕對錯。不過如果你咁執著，那麼你是要我認錯吧。就算我是認錯那又如何呢？如果你是咁厲害，那麼為何你又不拍些教學片段給大家學下野？用個假名就可以隨便批評。做人真簡單。只說不練的我也見太多。 By the way, 傳承中華文化，請不要用簡化字，請用繁體字。 祝聖誕快樂，新年進步。

Jacky 兄，谢谢分享! 会看的看门道，不会看的看热闹。走自己的路，别人愿意说就让他们说。
Thank you. I was able to learn the Wu Style 108 using Jackys' detailed videos. I am grateful for this beyond words.

不夠圓滑
太嫩
係呀，差不多兩年幾前嘅片了。有機會再拍下指教下。
不只是太嫩，更甚是误解。四年前的"绷紧(stiff)"和"断续(broken)"，至今也说是理所当然。

@@TaichiWu853 原來你也會中文，那更好了。每個人對太極拳的理解未必一樣。到現在的交流閣下一直也是圍繞在下機械化，生硬等等。我拍了很多影片給大家交流，我當然明白不需要當一個大廚也可以批評食物難食的道理。批評人家很容易，改進自己十分難。我在閣下的頻道找不到任何閣下自拍的影片，相反卻上載了各位前輩的影片。請問申請了版權沒有？我有大量藏片，不過就是怕版權問題（也是尊重師父）所以沒有上載。
需知道練拳的目的。在我來說，練太極拳如果不能達到增強內氣的話，那便白練。那麼氣是甚麼？氣是生物電場，想了解多一點生物電場 Bioelectric field 可以拜讀 MD Jerry L Tennant MD 寫的 Healing is Voltage系列，內容有研究生物電場對細胞修復。
練氣，必要說經絡，十二經加任督二脈是主要路徑。Thomas W. Myers寫的 Anatomy Trains (中文版 - 解剖列車) 這是一本專研究人體筋膜系統的書，我學習做伸展導師時買的。作者在這書中把筋膜系統如中國的經絡系統連上了關係。所以我會把太極拳的動作與伸展動作作出比較。
為什麼拉筋很重要？為什麼有筋長一寸延壽十年的說法呢？因為筋膜系統便是生物電場的管道，即係經脈係氣的管道。對嗎？所以如果練太極拳拉不到筋，便等如練不到。
中國文化，很多時就係自己練成，未必傳授。就算傳授，也不明所以。往往係師父叫你咁練就咁練。但係現代人每個人也需要為生活打拼，各有勞損。有人損手，有人爛腳。所以同一種教學方法不能通用。
我不是甚麼太極拳大師，我的小小心願是希望有些人需要幫助，能夠通過我練太極拳的經驗（因為我練太極拳的原因也是因為勞碌奔波導致腰痛，加上年少時拗過腳踭而患上風濕，真的很痛，連車都開不了）。通過練習太極拳（其實更多是拳社的訓練方式）現在要痛風濕都沒有了。
你不喜歡我的影片不要緊。就像郭兆明博士話，世事沒有對錯，只係睇你企那邊。
Jacky：你的长文，东拉西扯，却不能解释 "绷紧(stiff)" 和 "断续(broken)" 等拳法毛病。你说这些毛病没有对错，只是 "企那边"的问题；此等说法，若出自吴光宇宗师的入室弟子，真是令人失望。
