    Inspired by Joey’s recent post, let’s use this discussion to share videos that illustrate how to implement the Tai Chi postures’ martially. I will begin by sharing a video of Master Richard Huang demonstrating applications from the 37 form of Grandmaster Chen Man-Ching.

      Amazing, I wasn’t expecting to see single whip applied in this way! I would love to see more videos like this.

    As Tai Chi involves maintaining a balance of both Yin and Yang, here is a video of how NOT to do it. Funnily enough people still believe this stuff and prefer it over the genuine article.

    Cool thread Thomas! Thanks for all the videos. Adam posted a new striking video, by the way. Don’t want to be on the receiving end!

      Yikes, I felt every one of those blows Adam unleashed on his students. I hope nobody was hurt filming this.

      Joey, what are your thoughts on the internal method Adam is using to generate large amounts of force (jin) when striking? Is there a reaction force from the back foot involved in any way? I’m familiar with the term jin, nevertheless, I don’t see how he is creating it from watching his movements?
