Yang Style Taijiquan 108 form 1 of 3

Seven minutes and nineteen seconds of one continuous, flowing movement. Remarkable. I noticed at some points the body appeared to tilt backward or side to side. Is this intentional? I thought this would be bad form, but it all looks so natural here.

thank you very much for the COMPLETE FORMS.. a lot of forms from other sifu were incomplete. you are one of only two people who are unselfish enough to share. the other one is fu zhong wen. the rest post only part one.

Amazing!.. I'm about to start learning Taijiquan, but I'm a little confused with the styles... I saw a video of the "Long 103 Form Yang Chen-fu" but is diferent of this "Long 108 Form Yang Style" so, ¿what's the nominal name for this 108 form? ¿Who made this version of 108 form? I would apretiate so much your answer!!! (or anyones who knows)

@taijispirit1 Thank you a lot for the info! One more question, Right now I'm not able to start taking classes of Taijiquan with a master, but I found a book for learning this 108 Long form, is "self-tought oriented" and explains in 105 lessons each movement of the form, with photos. Do you think that with that book, this video as a visual demonstration and hard work, I can be able to start practising by myself, till I take classes? or should I wait untill I can take classes to start practising?

@taijispirit1 Thanks a lot! you dont know how much I apretiate this help! :) I'll see if I can get the book (I'm from Argentina, so its kind of difficult ) Thanks for everything!

You have a very nice flow my friend. I love it!

Me gusto muchiso gracias

That is so beautiful, the perfect balans between spirit and body. I am started to learn this long form at the class of Sensei Marc in Antwerp/Belgium. There is for me still a very long way to go. Thank you for sharing this videos

Awesome! It'd also be cool if someone could make a version of this with the names of the forms appearing at the bottom of the screen or something. That would make it easier for students to find specific forms in the video for reference.

hi, sorry for my comment, i think it was just a visual effect about the movements of your dress, it seems a little...unreal but it's ok. Of course you don't need it. You practice the fast form with so much lightness. In that video you are in the middle of the second part isn't it?

Great video that expresses the true energy of this !! Amazing setting to learn in too.

I love it, but I don't like the music.. :(

I have been doing this form for two years now and have only just started to feel the "flow of energy" within it - you can feel the energy flowing from one movement to another with Sifu Peter Tam Hoy and it is such a great pleasure to watch, learn and hope one day that might be me!! Thank you so much for sharing this.

Like this. No frills tai chi. :-)

Beautiful to watch. It is amazing how beautiful the human body can be when performing taiji. The music is great as well.....wish I knew what the name of it...

this is great... but what happened to part 2 ????

Sifu Tam Hoy's video has been my inspiration to continue practicing Tai Chi. As a dedicated third year student of this art, with no quality classes to attend during the winter months, I rely on his DVD to keep me focused on correctly flowing through the 108 postures ... slowly, smoothly, naturally, effortlessly. Someday I WILL accomplish that. Thank you

High level performance !

and if you were not easily distracted it wouldn't matter

This video is absolutely amazing and the current music is just fine, but there was another track to it originally that sounded like xylophones or marimbas. Can you tell me who the artist for that music was? I found it very meditative and would like to hear it again.

Good for beginners. Need to build up solid foundation for legs and body coordination if you want to perform like this.

so graceful!!!

Just watching this feels good : P

Beautiful

Smooth Flow, really nice control of movements

Its been sometime since I've been to a yang style class. This demonstration is very helpful to me. Thank you.

Thank you very much for posting this. In my younger years I used to religiously practice exactly this same style and had reached part 2, but I lost myself in the world. Now I am trying to return to taichi for I know it will help me continue my soul path. This post inspires me so much. Thank you3x

Awsome great performance. I love it.

拳如道！人配德！行如雲！流如水！已臻動靜渾成一體一如之境。賞心悅目的感覺之外、其實卻是默默之中暗藏有一種懾人心魂的震撼力、令人肅然起敬！！祝福大師一切安好、福澤廣被衆生。

Thank you for the beautiful example. I love watching this for my soul, and my practice.

There is so much in this demonstration and that is is very close to the Yang Lu Chan version I practice I was inspired to study even harder to improve myself.

Sorry, why changed the music? Was perfect before??

I was wondering. If any of the readers are practitioners here. Does every move have a right inhalation and exhalsyion of air?

The original music was nicer

I need to get to number two

PLEASE add names of moves its teaching not performance
