Tai Chi Qigong for Health
Master Yang Live
Experience Tai Chi Qigong Class with Master Yang
Recently, Dr. Yang Zhuangming taught a live Tai Chi Qigong class
for a small group of private students.
This video presents his latest teaching about Tai Chi Qigong
to the wider public for the first time.
And there is another two things that's in Tai Chi
and they hold back a secret for a long period of time.
It was not...
Because 1926, 1927, at that time,
Yang Zengfu, he already cut down a lot of information.
You know, Yang Zengfu is the first one revealed Tai Chi Qigong to the public.
Yeah, so today Yang style is most popular
because he's the first one of Tai Chi Qigong he revealed to outside.
Because he was invited to teach at Nanjing Central Guo Shu Institute.
And that institute was under Chiang Kai-shek's party.
Chiang Kai-shek was the emperor.
So you are invited to teach in their organization.
Ooh, that's great honor. You better go.
But question, will you reveal all the secret to public?
You cut it.
That's why Yang Zengfu modified it.
He changed it to more relaxation.
The spine movement, he cut it off.
Without spine movement, you cannot whip.
You cannot whip, you cannot have power.
As simple as that.
Now, he eliminated the martial art side.
The second thing, he cut off a lot of things.
Yeah, but only emphasize relaxation.
But today it becomes so popular
because relaxation, it help people for health.
But eventually, the essence of the Tai Chi Quan disappeared.
That's why I intend to bring it back.
Because you can call Tai Chi dancing,
but you cannot call Tai Chi Quan.
Master Yang Zhuangming has studied and practiced Tai Chi Quan and Qi Gong
for over 50 years.
In this new lesson, he explores the theory and history of Tai Chi, Qi Gong
and leads you through a follow-along class.
After exploring his detailed Tai Chi theory
and delving into fascinating Tai Chi Quan history,
he leads the class through a follow-along warm-up and stretching routine
and offers priceless key points
as students practice and ask common questions.
The hidden secret, because this is a crucial key for power manifestation,
for endurance in the fighting.
So, see, if I go like that, there's no weight.
This is called maintenance.
I just move my spine.
It's called maintenance.
Once I get a ball, this is very light.
So if I ball, now this is not tense now.
Because body go this way.
See, now this one, I still move it section by section.
So that's why the ball start from light,
it slowly, slowly get heavier, heavier.
If you think about it, you can have 20 pounds in your hand
and move still soft.
Ooh, you are strong.
Step inside a Tai Chi, Qi Gong class with Master Yang.
Follow a Tai Chi warm-up and stretching routine.
Practice Tai Chi, Qi Gong primary and coiling exercises.
Dr. Yang explains how Tai Chi Quan forms are actually Qi Gong,
or energy work, when practiced slowly,
and that these exercises are meant to deepen your experience of your Qi, or energy.
These powerful movements activate your whole body circulation,
energizing your mind, body, and spirit.
You learn the meaning, that means the mind is not as strong.
But if this for defense, mind is strong,
because I have a sense for defense now.
So it's different.
Instead of just...
So what I call Tai Chi dancing,
the other one is called Tai Chi Quan.
It's different.
Chapters include an introduction to the limbic system,
