Thanks to Alan’s comment, I started searching for clips that relate to what I practice – and there are quite a few interesting ones!
- Here is Sim Pooh Ho demonstrating the applications of his taiji gong. It includes the “knocking down 8 men at once” feat that I’ve seen his brother doing several times…
- … and here he is performing the small-frame Yang taiji set. I saw him doing this at the Nam Wah Pai centre in Geylang a couple of years ago.
- Here is his teacher, Wu Tu Nan, doing the same set, at a slower pace.
- The taiji form I’m studying at the moment is the one developed by Cheng Man Ching in the 1930s and refined while he was in Taiwan. Here is clip of him performing a truncated set, plus some examples of self-defence/push-hands application.
[Updated August 01 to correct the names; sorry for that slipup, and thanks to Pern Yiau for bringing it to my attention]
