Hello, thank you for your inputs. And thank you for sharing your experiences with all of us. With time, I hope more and more people will understand the correct practice! again thank you for your encouragement.
Another very informative video my Sifu the late Kenny Gong used to walk up to me and every quietly say if you want to be good in the external, you must practice tan tui. So your explanation begins to help me understand better. He may have been referring to another aspect of my training not merely internal vs external style but the external side Of my practice ie fitness faster movement Jing etc Second I like the idea you mentioned about pushing into the center I like to think about my force breaking the back window with an imploding force So if strike to the north the force culminates with an south direction force in my opponents back.this seems to produce nice power very solid
Thank you, for continuing in this "martial proverb series". That once again was really helpful and clarifying. Your demonstration sections are always a higlight of the videos. :-)
and to supplement my prior lengthy post P.S. excellent insight into spear...at y level I can only look in awe putting chi into spear head... I enjoyed that thank you
Thank you for another great video. Another funny popular explanation for Northern Legs Southern Fists is that southern China is more populated, the spaces in the cities tighter, so they didn’t have space for kicks. :) Let me also commend you for your attitude towards the whole COVID-19 situation. Too much negativism is promoted, leading too many people to believe in conspiracy theories and more depression. It is a challenging time, stressful sometimes, but a positive attitude will not only get you through and even let you take advantage of opportunities. Take care Laoshi!
Hello Juan. population density has nothing to do with a style. People sometimes try to find an uncorrelated event in explaining of something else... Yes, we should keep a positive attitude at this moment and we will all go through it!
Thank you for making this video. I’m particularly interested in the Yi and Shen parts. In future videos, could you talk more about the role of Yi and Shen in Tai Chi please?
Very insiteful discussion. Loved the Calligraphy demo. As an artist we leave elements open to space to allow the minds eye to fill in the gaps, complete the suggested edges into an empty space which is really never empty. One question. I would like to get a spear to begin training with. What size and type of wood would you recommend? Again, thank you for sharing your art with us.
Hello, great to know that you share the same feeling toward the empty area. Regarding your question about choosing a spear: you can start from a thin one and gradually change to a think cone. The material is called White Wax Wood. Bai Lai Shu in Chinese. Thanks.
Hello please explain the axiom: ßtillness before movement, softness before firmness, and slowness before speed in more detail if that is something you feel is important to discuss thank you and have a nice day
Thank you for your generous contribution. I hope you don't mind me saying, but I hope when you film your instructional videos, you do something to manage the audio. Your old videos filmed in your studio have a strong echo that make it hard to hear.
Hello sifu! Thanks again for sharing your knowledge with us! I have sent a message/question to your facebook page a quite time ago and still haven't received an answer. Is it still active? How can i ask you questions that don't specifically relate to the videos' topic?
The name is not a secret at all. But he is not the sole author, he complied others' documents and added his own writings. So, I have no idea why you feel strange here.
The way your cat watched the demonstration has made my day today ;)
haha, thanks.
Yes I noticed that too the cat was like I want to catch that tassel but I better not try it
Haiyang bringing the 文武 in Covid. Kicking off a martial art renaissance.
Thank you for your input.
Fascinating connection between shen and the subconscious mind, it seems a little harder to give a naturalistic account of chi, I believe it has something to do with the optimal functioning of the nervous system, but just like consciousness itself, I find it deeply mysterious.
Interesting
Thank you ShiFu for Sharing this Valuable Knowledge from the Chinese Martial Arts History! Very Grateful!
It's my pleasure and thank you too.
@@HaiYangChannel Pleasure is all mine! :)

Interesting. I will think about it. Thanks.
Thanks for the historical lesson
you are very welcome.

You're very welcome and thank you for your comment.
Thank you Master Yang. Hopefully this pandemic can end soon. Looking forward to the launch of your online lessons.
I hope so too, and thank you for your patient.
Very insightful teaching
Glad you think so!
Thank you for another video, I found it very interesting to discover there was more to those proverbs then is commonly told.
Yes, unfortunately, many people do not know this historical background of these terms and just interpreted them literally.
and to supplement my prior lengthy post P.S. excellent insight into spear...at y level I can only look in awe putting chi into spear head... I enjoyed that thank you
With correct practice, technique will be improved! Thanks,
I have been trying to learn chinese calligraphy and oh my god this is SO COOL!!!

That was most informative - thank you for the video.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Hello, I will find a chance to talk about it. Thank,s
Thanks for this great series. I propose the following sentence to be analyzed : 撑筋拔骨. Thanks in advance
Great! I will make this video in the coming week.
@@HaiYangChannel Thanks a lot! My Chen style teacher uses this sentence to define my goals but I only understand it partially.

I will think about the Chinese proverb... at this moment, I cannot recall the Chinese version of it. Thanks.
Ok understood
Thank you for your generous contribution. I hope you don't mind me saying, but I hope when you film your instructional videos, you do something to manage the audio. Your old videos filmed in your studio have a strong echo that make it hard to hear.
Yes, back then I did not have a good audio device.
Hello sifu!
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge with us!
I have sent a message/question to your facebook page a quite time ago and still haven't received an answer. Is it still active? How can i ask you questions that don't specifically relate to the videos' topic?
Hello, not sure your question. I do not use FB very often. You can leave a message here and if I know the answer then I will write back it here.
Is the « Yi » refered here the same as visceral entity « Yi » of water element in Chinese Medecine?
No, Yi in TCM is not water. it is Earth.
Yes, sorry I inverted it with Zhì. So the Yi of earth element of TCM is the same Yi you are discussing here?
Can be understood as the same, but more precisely, Zhi means strong intention.
There are lot of people researching the Wu Bei Zhi and saying that the author is unknown.
It is strange to hear now that name now...
The name is not a secret at all. But he is not the sole author, he complied others' documents and added his own writings. So, I have no idea why you feel strange here.
