Really good! I'm not that
Really good! I'm not that much of an expert in Yang Chengfu's style, but some
really good technique there.
Yang Tai Chi.
I enjoyed watching this. It is so different from the form I practice in as much as the way the techniques are executed and where they appear in the form. I can see he holds his hands in a way that looks exactly like some of the still photos I have seen of Master Yang in action.I have experience judging forms at the British Open Tai Chi Championships, so It is not my first taste of Yang form, however it is the short form that is used in comp for obvious reasons. Nice to see the entire form. I notice he finishes in under 8 minutes, is that the usual pace/time for the long form? I am used to the Cheng-tin-Hung form which can take up to half an hour from start to finish. Of course I realise different speeds/tempo can be applied. Thanks for adding the video.
It depends...
Generally, the Yang long form can take upto half an hour + (depending on how slow you choose to go, for various reasons). In this clip, my teacher was demonstrating that tai chi form isn't always "slow motion", and how change in the rythm and speed of the movements can greatly change the perception of the form, whilst adhering to the Taiji classics.
Yes I understand the changes
Yes I understand the changes in speed completely. Next week I have students competing at the British Open Tai Chi Championships in Oxford and I have heard judges are looking for broken rhythms in the forms, especially weapons so I have been putting a little of this into certain key areas of the form. By broken rhythm I don't mean stopping and starting but like the great river surging and flowing without interruption, and that would obviously involve differences in speed. Mind you they have to go into certain places or it can end up looking ridiculous.
