This is a small collection of some of the Videos on You Tube. Watching these performances really helps improve one’s Tai Chi. I have other influences but the videos are not on You tube. Chen Zhenglei and Feng Zhiquian have been  big influences on me, as well as my own Master Su(Kung Fu and Tai Chi). Leo Sebrets from South Africa also played a foundational part in my training(Kung Fu). In 2 years time I will have been doing Martial Arts for 40 years!

Chen Tai Chi not for Beginners as Stated. (Giezi Miranda). This is one of the best demonstrations I’ve seen of fluid Chen Style.

This is such a brilliant display of Chen 56 Competition Form. Considering this is done under the intense scrutiny of the judges, audience its an amazing performance. His timing and style and elegance is awesome.

83 Movements of Chen Style Tai Chi.
This is a very good example of explosive power using the whole body. Very good performance.

 

 

 

A Display by me of the Beautiful 24 Hun Yuan Chen Form. A lot of detail goes into a form like this and it needs practicing frequently to get it smooth.

Taoist Qi Gong 12 Posture. This is one of the routines I do in my Monday Evening Classes.

Some very fluid stretchy Qi Gong

 

 

 

Overview of the Yi Jin jing Qi Gong. This is one of my Qi Gong routines I do in both types of classes. Its  a great routine.

This is Part 1 of the Wu Xin Xi Qi Gong.
I do the complete set of this in my classes. Also a lovely routine.

This is a very clean and fluid demonstration of the Yang 24 Forms. I do cover this in my program.

 

 

 

Chen Taijiquan - Laojia Yi Lu as performed by the brilliant Chen Zhenglei. This is 8 minutes of the old frame 83 Movement Chen form.

This is one of my favorite forms. It combines different styles in one form. Its very well put together. I teach a longer version of this. Performance by Su Renfeng.

Hunyuan 24 forms by Feng Zhiquian. Although not the best quality video here, This is a lovely form and one of my Favorites that I also teach later on.

 

 

 

This is a solo performance by Master Feng’s daughter Ms Feng Xiufang. She’s also very fluid in this form. What this form really taught me was to relax a lot more than I was doing.

This is the long 108 Yang Form. this was the second Tai Chi Form I learnt after the 83 Chen Form. Its 10 minutes of a 30 minute routine. Over the years of filming myself I see more softness in my performance, which confirms my feeling while I play with it.

This is the Zen Cosmic Connection Form. Its a brand new Sun Style Form I’ve created. this is an intermediate level form and is a great complement to 73 Sun Style Form or 98 Sun Style Form as it's quite different Characteristically, yet maintains the full flavour of Sun Style.
