Marblehead Posted July 18, 2014 I read them through optical filter lenses to rid of distortions. But when one reads them through rose colored glasses what they see are roses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChiDragon Posted July 18, 2014 But when one reads them through rose colored glasses what they see are roses. Are you going to let the rose colored glasses to deceive you or your own mind.....???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marblehead Posted July 18, 2014 Are you going to let the rose colored glasses to deceive you or your own mind.....???? A lot of people have. But although I do wear glasses it is for clarification rather than delusion. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
宁 Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) Turns out that once upon a time all Tai Chi was practiced swiftly. The "grand" master injured himself. When he recouped enough to start back practicing, he could only do the forms slowly as it hurt him to do them very fast. Everyone thought that the "grand" was doing something they didn't know about so they copied him. And now it is done slowly. In reality I have seen Tai Jee done VERY fast, but only after it was learned. LOL In truth every form of the taiji (it's made out of individual shapes, 24, 36, 85, 99, 108...) is so complex in it's articulation, learning taiji is like learning to walk again. Differently.

PLB Posted October 19, 2014 LOL In truth every form of the taiji (it's made out of individual shapes, 24, 36, 85, 99, 108...) is so complex in it's articulation, learning taiji is like learning to walk again. Differently. This minds me of the way Sun Lu Tang spoke of form as the aquisition of a specific body. So the matter of velocity becomes different in different shapes. Apples and oranges are laughing at us somewhere. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stigweard Posted October 29, 2014 I know how looks like taiji fight and when people come to my classes they also can see it. You obviously have a camera and know how to produce videos ... I would be very interested in seeing a clip of you and your students doing some solid sparring. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
