Yang-style tai chi looks peaceful, mindful and intentional. Watching Fu move gracefully through these moves reminded me of the power of energy, and the fact that we are made up of constantly moving energized bodies! These moves could definitely become meditative after some time, and help regulate mood and decrease anxiety.

Sifu Fu Zhongwen is so graceful and purposeful in his movements. Watching him gave me such a peaceful and calming effect.

Watching Fu move with such effortless and such graceful movements puts me at a calm state, almost as if I am meditating. It's like you can almost see the energy flowing through Fu.

Such graceful movements, I can't imagine being able to maintain such perfect form for such a long period of time. I admire his muscle control and endurance. He looks so at peace during the demonstration too!

This practice was so beautiful to watch! A moving meditation centered in mindful, aware, and intentional mind/body connection/integration.

Fu Zhongwen is such a graceful and powerful example of yang style Tai Chi. He flows through his moves effortlessly but with great purpose!

The slow, continuous movements of Tai Chi combined with the breathing techniques seem like a great stress reliever.

Fu Zhongwen's demonstration of Tai Chi is very fluid and you can tell that all of his movements are well thought out and they all have a purpose.

This practice emulates the importance of being in the present. It is a way to slow down and focus on the individual movements and the connection of one movement to the next. The mindfulness of Tai chi can help alleviate chronic stress, hypertension, chronic pain, etc. in the lives of many. Tai chi brings a flow of energy through mindful movements which can also be useful for arthritis and cardiovascular disease. This practice emphasizes balance and harmony through continuous slow movements, rhythmic flexion of the lower limbs, extension of the upper body, the symmetrical arm motion, and the constant shifting of weight.

What I find most interesting regarding this video is how useful Tai Chi can be to people. It is such a disciplined practice that helps to alleviate stress and improve mindfulness.

Fu Zhongwen moves very gracefully and with ease. Almost as if he is gliding through the space.

I think that Tai CHi is one of the most beautiful practices, it could definitely lower stress levels and lower risk for stress-based disease!

Yang style as its best! thank you so much!

One thing I noticed is how the practice is based on continues movement. He was always purposefully moving either his upper or lower body or both, which requires high levels of concentration and balance. After watching this and trying to imitate the movements I see why people love Tai Chi.. I can feel it working my muscles, improving my focus, and relieving joint pain.

The individual practicing the movements appears to have great concentration and mindfulness throughout. The ways he moves with such fluidity and balance further shows his level of connectedness to the world around him.

This practice is beautiful. It relaxes the mind, slows the heart, increases breathing, and creates spacial awareness. This is beneficial for those who live busy lives, to slow down and to take time for stress relief!

The energy flow that he is experiencing and effortlessly displaying through his movements is delightful. There is a tranquil peace in the movments.

Having taken a tai chi class in undergraduate education, the flow and energy used throughout tai chi is very mindful. You can see how he is using his mind to flow through his practice with his own energy in mind

Watching this video was very relaxing and gave me a sense of peace

I was enrolled in several Tai Chi classes years ago, and it feels comparable to ballet classes because you must use strength while showing ease in your movements.

His movement is so fluid and peaceful. It is interesting how such movement can have therapeutic benefits and can help relieve health issues.

Being in tune with yourself is a good way to lower your stress. They way they move in this video is beautiful and I am sure it took a lot of practice to be so graceful. We all need to take timeouts for our mental health.

I found it interesting to way how each movement he made was leading into the next movement. Every movement just seemed to flow into the next, almost like he was dancing. His movements were so rhythmic and balanced and showed great control and concentration on what he was doing.

The person featured in this video demonstrates very fluid body motions and it shows that they put great thought and concentration into every single move they make. I think this demonstrates that they have put a lot of time and energy into this practice over the years and has reached the point of mastery.

This is very relaxing to watch, every movement seems to be effortless. This seems like something that can help the mind-body connection and helps to de-stress.

What a peaceful exercise. A 17+ minute dance with grace and beauty. How could this not help with agility, balance, coordination, and memory?

This video was a wonderful demonstration of Tai Chi. I have been interested in practicing Tai Chi, but was not really sure what the practice entailed. This video has given me some idea of what to expect from a Yang Style Tai Chi class.

This video is so interesting because of his intensity for such a long duration. It is soothing

His movements are really fluid, and harmonious. His movements greatly portray how calm and at piece he is during his movements.

His mindfulness and presence are very evident in his practice because he is always looking out toward his hands and following them. He is also very agile and has great postural control and balance which really impressed me for this duration of time.

Fu Zhongwen is very graceful in his practice, it reminds me of a dance. However, I can also see how being in tune with the body, energy, mind, and environment can create an optimal martial artist. This practice truly reminds me of Yin and Yang between the graceful movements and fighting mechanisms developed in each step.

This seems like a different way of meditating, very peaceful and almost looks energizing. I think it could help clear the mind and feel at ease.

The constant movement and consistent pace that he keeps makes it evident that he is in control of his body. This seems like a great low impact exercise, and also seems very relaxing.

Where focus flows, energy flows. He is displaying this with motion. A perfect example of being mindful.

This video relaxing to watch. I can only imagine how much it would relax and energize the body to do the movements.

You can tell how precise and focused he is with each movement. I think that it is so important to be in tune with your body and be aware of yourself.

This is super relaxing to watch, and I could imagine it being super relaxing to perform, not to mention the health benefits.

The ease with which Sifu Fu Zhongwen flows with his energy and the space which surrounds him, is remarkable. It is as if he is move with the environment, not against it.

The use of his arms and legs shows that he's in balance and the flow of energy is relaxing and it looks peaceful. He is also very focused on his craft which requires strength and determination

I can see how these slow, relaxed movements will stretch the body and reduce tension as well as anxiety.

It was interesting to watch the indiviudal's movements and how they all flow together. You can tell he has great concentration with a mind and body connection.

The slow movements create a type of peaceful and stress reduced atmosphere. It shows how you have to be patient and understand thoroughly what is happening with the surrounding vs. the body.

The continuous flow of movements demonstrates the flow of energy within ourselves. Combined with breathing, you can almost trace the flow of negative energy leaving the body and the pull of positive energy with each inhalation.

This video teaches patience, and really allows me to reflect on the process and mindfulness which takes place with each move.

This practice makes such a powerful impact through such mindful movements and deliberate connection between the mind and body to create a sense of balanced power and connectedness.

Tai Chi is very graceful. I can see where it would be calming and relaxing.

I have never seen tai chi performed before. I have heard of the practice, but never actually knew what it was. The individual is so focused and in the present moment. This also seems like a very creative outlet as the individual makes a specific movement that feels right to him at that moment in time. It is also looks so peaceful as each movement is performed so slowly and calmly, which is very interesting to observe.

Wow, yes, his movement is so fluid and his balance and intention- beautiful

While I have heard of tai chi before, I have not seen in practice prior to this video. I am surprised and impressed with the intention in which each motion is done. I can see how this practice would aid in fostering a mind body connection.

His movements are so fluid, slow and calming. It would take a lot of practice to be as fluid and focused as he is! I can see how this would be relaxing and a form a meditation.

Awesoem VINTAGE Tai Ji from a Classical master, not a showman

You can really tell he has an intense strength about him with how graceful the movements are.

What I found to be most interesting to me was how much stress could be alleviated with the use of tai chi, mindfulness, and breathing techniques.

Tai-chi looks so calming. I think this is definitely something I would like to take up and learn how to do on my own.

This movement is interesting because it is really shows how intentional each movement is. I agree that I think this movement is about being present and focusing on every little movement of each individual body part and muscle. Along with a focus on your breath.

I found that simply watching this video relaxed me, so I can only imagine how actually preforming the movements would lower my stress and ultimately improve my health. The slow movements are relaxing and peaceful, yet still require muscle so Tai Chi can be a great form of low impact exercise.

I can see how practicing something like this would really help improve balance. He's constantly shifting his weight, and he moves slowly, holding some stances for a few seconds at a time.

His movements are mesmerizing an so fluid. I can see how Tai Chi could be extremely meditative.

It's very interesting watching his movements. He never actually stops moving, each of his movements lead into the next which has a very serine quality to it.

tai chi looks so innocuous, and "soft", but is very powerful, and requires great control.

The slow and controlled movements make him appear very peaceful, spiritual, and in tune with nature.

This movement meditation looks very relaxing while also being focused. I feel as though this is a very energizing practice.

The individual in the video seems to have full control of his body, placing it very specifically, and you can tell there is a flow of energy through each movement.

His Tai Chi moves are so subtle and effortless, yet you can definately see his energy and interaction with the environment. I agree with the post below me, the whole exercise does remind me of ocean waves, so effortless, but still so powerful. Looks very relaxing!

The flow of the movements is very powerful yet relaxing.

His energy is so consistent and thoughtful. It appears as if he is moving through water. I've never seen tai chi performed w/ a prop, so the stick/flag item at the end of the video was an interesting addition for me.

The motions look like gathering and throwing, It is easy to imagine that he is gathering energy and sending it to the different directions.

Tai Chi movements remind me of the ocean waves. His fluid motions from each position seem effortless. I feel like tai chi takes patients and complete mindfulness to understand how the effects of the movements.

I think this is very interesting because of the distressing nature of the movements. In American culture, everyone is focused on hustle and constantly working on something, but slowing down and controlling movements can be extremely beneficial in many ways.

His fluid and slow movements almost make it appear that he is harnessing energy around him, as well as focusing his own.

You can tell that he has a very strong mind and body connection, just by the way he is moving very fluidly. All that matters is the movement, and the concentration of the movement. Without hesitation, his body knows what to do before the next movement is comepleted.

Thank you very much. That's the same form as the posted Yang Sau Chung video.

Beautiful movement, so calm, yet at one time used as a martial art. Easy for anyone, it seems.

I can see why this is called meditative movement. It appears as though he is very focused and each move is with intentional purpose. Would like to learn this!

Where focus flows, energy flows - is a great mindset

Each move is so precise and takes a lot of mind and body control.

These movements look pretty complex to me! I can't imagine moving so slowly and keeping such a good balance simultaneously. I can barely sit still for too long without texting, checking social media, etc. Watching this video really gets me thinking that I need to take time out of my day to relax and just breathe! Maybe even do some of the simpler moves.

this gives and appreciation for mindfulness in movement

I see him taking power from within, and extracting it to the outside world. In turn, I watch him grab onto energy, and bring it inside of himself. He seems to be getting rid of the negative energy and replacing it with positive energy

This is excellent, thank you for the chance to see this form. Also, think of this man's age, size, and then look at his feet and how he creates his hands via the waist. A Master.....

this guys form is exactly like I have learnt not stiff and rigid like the Beijing style of Tai Chi that is only good as an aerobic exercise I wonder if he knows all the applications that really impresses me

I think that this is the real Yang Cheng Fu form 'cause he studied with him and he was his first student.Very powerful and rich taijiquan!!!

I think that movement requires a lot of skills and lots of patience. I don't know if I could do it for such a long time. Maybe that is why I am not into meditation. I do think that it is good for your health: mental and physical

I don't have the patience to participate in this type of mind body therapy but it does look interesting

Christina S T'ai Chi Chuan is a supreme martial art, in the truest sense. But there are many different schools and traditions, as can be sene by the many You Tube videos on it!

impresionante

I thought it was interesting how he did this practice at the end with the sword.

I bet nobody was able to move this guys feet off the ground.

@hmbarretosu Es la tabla de los 85 movimientos de tai chi tradicional de la familia Yang

@hmbarretosu Esa forma es la tabla de los 85 movimientos de tai chi tradicional del estilo Yang

Not hard enough? You are aware tai chi is an internal art? The power is both invisible and very soft. Study tai chi and you may eventually come to understand this. My form is similar and I have thrown a 230 pound man 10 feet while remaining light as a feather through the proper use of sensitivity, timing and chi. In sparring I have weathered ferocious attacks while remaining light as a feather. There are many hard styles - this is not one of them.

He definitely is old here. Some missed steps and limited leg lifting.

THis guys tai chi is like I learn Not like that Beijing style crap wow a real master

I think I just chi'd all over myself.

His Taichi is ok, Better than his Son Fu sheng Yuan.
