How is it
possible that such a slow relaxed exercise can be called the Supreme
Ultimate Fist? Martial artists usually represent extreme physical power.
They look mean. Their muscles ripple and gleam. They move with such
speed, their movements appear blurred. Tai Chi practitioners seem to be
the exact opposite of a typical martial artist. In comparison, they look
soft and slow and anything but a martial artist. Yet Tai Chi’s reputation
as a martial art is highly regarded among the greatest kung fu masters of
China.
So
what makes
Tai Chi so special? How can relaxation be used to improve self defence
skills? How can softness overcome hardness, slowness become speed? These
2
DVDs will
give you the answers to these questions and more. We will explore the
various applications of the Hun Yuan Tai Chi 24 form.
Besides
demonstrating the martial applications,
we
will also explain the pitfalls that practitioners first encounter when
they attempt the applications.
You will know then what is needed in order for an application to be
effective. This will help you to understand what to feel in Tai Chi,
thus giving greater substance to your
form.
The
skills presented on these DVDs are universal and they can be applied to
all systems of Tai Chi and any martial arts. Understanding the
requirements will give your form substance and help you identify common
areas of weakness, such as lack of continuity, not using the waist
correctly, not connecting with the legs and lack of spirit in the
training. The applications demonstrated will bring greater enjoyment and
insight to the practice of your form.

See Fa Jin (Explosive Power) demonstration :
The
body is generating the explosive sound that you can hear. Fa Jin is
the issue of explosive internal power from the Dan Tian, an energy centre
in the abdomen. For the power to release, the joints need to be
relaxed, elastic and open. It is like the doors and windows in a
house being open to let the breeze flow through. Fa Jin can be
trained both stationary and moving. Training involves individual
movements from the form and some special ones to help develop different
power.
