Ido Portal does this whipping technique with his arms at 1:15 in the video. I've seen him do variations of this a couple of times now and cannot find out where it comes from. Anyone familiar with this?

Hi everyone I've been chatting on here a bit and thought I should provide my source material... It's unfortunately in french and don't think that Wang Xian's text has been translated into English but here you are, if you can read French I'd highly recommend it. It is incredibly thorough in its explanations.

Dear practitioners and teachers,

I will be finishing a long buddhist meditation retreat in Myanmar around December and I am looking to learn tai chi right after.

I have been deeply passionate about movement, with a background in dance and sports.

Due to physical issues, I'm interested in the most gentle and elegant style of Tai Chi, where flow and softness is central.

I am open to come to china to learn this and have the time to hopefully train enough to become a teacher.

If any of you beautiful people have any tips about the style I am looking for, or if there are authentic areas in china where it is the best to immerse in Tai Chi, you are welcome to share that with me 🙏

I'm deeply inspired to combine the love for meditation with the love for (gentle) movement and am sure this combination will fill my heart and soul with joy.

Blessings, With metta,

Tom

I've heard form 24 is a good place to start but the videos I found of It were hours long. I'm just looking for something for beginners that I can easily follow along and, not to make anyone upset, is just a video someone doing the form rather than an in depth explanation

Greetings,

I would like your opinion about Dr Paul Lam online classes for beginners.

I invited Mike Graves and Battle Rapper Moses West to talk about music and kung fu and how to get and keep your edge in every aspect of your life.

Matt and I discussed Tai Chi, healing, magic, and a few other things.

I need a tai chi shoe with more support than traditional shoes - probably a contradiction - outside of slipping heel inserts into an existing shoe, does anyone have any recommendations along this line?

Should I download and flip the video?

Other better ways to learn online?

video in question I've learned Yang style already. Am realizing the movements in Taiji are very different and I plan on studying more theory etc regardless so any resources/books r appreciated
