This made me tear up because depression and anxiety is getting the best of me especially with this whole pandemic. I have wanted to start practicing Tai Chi but I have always felt too busy, until I saw this video and it made me emotional about how much I miss traveling and learning new religions and ways to calm our minds. Thank you for making this video, you’ve really inspired me.

Thank you. I was in a dark place when I came across your videos. I am a retired vet with multiple deployments under my belt. School, family, hobbies, all bought a sense of time being filled, yet no peace. I had learned some Tai Chi years ago but didn’t really take it seriously but thanks to your journey, I have decided to take it up once more. Thank you for the inspiration. May we all overcome our struggles and achieve peace.

Those commenting that Tai-chi wont help in a real fight or u will end u getting killed....I got news for u. You neanderthals have totally missed the point of this whole video. It was never about Tai-Chi, it was about George becoming a better person overall and him getting away from his "normal grind" back home. The whole new experiences in a foreign land with a "goal" had helped him grow as a person and to cope with his anxiety and build his mental well-being.

Mr. Thompson, thank you. Your journey was very inspiring. At 52 years old, I found myself struggling with purpose. Retired from the US Army been to combat zones, etc. I have found Tai Chi helps me find my balance my center and although I'm just beginning, I plan to continue and be better than I was. So thanks sir, I appreciate you.

Tai Chi has completely changed my life. I first started practicing it at 16, but became distant as I got older and transitioned to college/young adulthood (I also didn’t have a teacher). Last year, at the age of 24, I got back into it, found a teacher, and now do it every single day. As someone who suffers from severe mental illness, finding peace through Tai Chi has saved my life in many ways, and helped me to become a better person. Love this video George! It’s the first one of yours that I’ve seen, but you have a new subscriber who is excited to check out the rest of your content.

Very personal and poignant. Your journey was also very relatable. I've had issues with depression and anxiety all of my life. I tried both one on one and group counseling more than once, and know very well what it's like to be infused with prozac and zoloft, but taiji was the only thing that ever really made me, if not happy, at least comfortable to be alive. Enough so that getting out of bed no longer seems impossible, taking a shower and making a meal for myself doesn't seem like climbing a mountain and I don't dread the day anymore. Now I often enjoy it. Taiji is earth magic. Practicing it is a lifelong journey inside your own body and an energizing agent to your mind and soul. So thank you for sharing in such an engaging manner your journey. Both your initial defeats and your eventual victories and your encouraging words. I hope you continue to rise.

I don't know why tears are welling up and I'm feeling so emotional.... triggered by the beautiful, wild mountain, master gu and others in their tai chi practicing attire just got me. You did awesome George and thank you so much. I wish to visit before it's too late for me.

How can I learn it as there is no one to teach in my place but I want to do it very badly.

I've got an extremely stressful lifestyle wherein my work keeps glued to it like forever. I've been doing some novice tai chi randomly whenever I find time and having done yoga in the past, I could feel the difference between the two disciplines first hand. They're entirely very different giving you a very different physiological and psychological conforms. What I found the striking difference between tai chi and yoga is that while yoga engulfs you in a state of peace and control, while tai chi gives you the same and goes beyond peace to give you an endless supply of energy, I think what tai chi trains us in doing is using our energy in a controlled manner, hence making us efficient in our energy utilization. So, yes Tai Chi it is, and then if anyone can combinate tai chi with yoga it's a supreme combination.

May your master and friends back in China stay safe. May god stand with them. May he stand for humanity. Always

George, I've thoroughly enjoyed watching your videos. I think I've seen them all. You've taken us on a wonderful journey into the ancient wisdom tradition of Wudang Daoism and Tai Chi. You were very fortunate to encounter such an excellent teacher, who also has a good sense of humor. I've been to China nine times and would love to go visit your teacher some day. My wife and I are international spiritual teachers and founded the Pine Mountain School of Zen Arts that is located at an altitude of 5,000 feet 90 minutes north of Los Angeles. Our school teaches all the traditional arts associated with Zen; meditation, tonic herbalism, bonsai (miniature gardening), ikebana (flower arranging), suiseki (stone appreciation), Kyudo (zen archery), and Iaido (the art of the sword). All of these Zen arts have their basis in meditation and develop mindfulness. If Master Gu, or you, ever come to America, we would love to have either of you teach a Tai Chi workshop at our school. Until then, we will be practicing by following Master Gu's Tai Chi course. Thank you for your excellent service by bringing ancient wisdom to the modern world.

glad you enjoyed my friend!

I’m just watching this and I’ve been diagnosed with heart palpitations, which factors that cause it the most is stress, anxiety, and being overwhelmed....... I watched Man of Tai Chi and have really been looking into it, it’s absolutely beautiful and such a flow, thank you for this video, much love from Michigan, USA 😌💙

I pleased I found you and your experience as I've suffered with anxiety and depression for years and am struggling to get through it, thanks for sharing. Xx

I love this. Thank you so much for sharing!!

Well done on all fronts George! thanks for sharing part of your adventure.

Love this! Just started kung fu recently and it’s the thing I look forward to the most every week now!

You learn Kalaripaytuu or sanatan shastra Vidya , unlike the Chinese tai chi they can be used in actual combat or fights

That was very inspiring, and so much along the lines of what I realize I have been searching for, though, in this very different time from when you decided to go to China. Thank you so much for sharing your journey, as it is directly affecting the journey of others.

This video of yours made me optimistic about life! Beautiful.

This one of my favorite videos i am at a point in my life where everything seems hopeless but you always inspire me and make feel much better i hope i can find my own way too

Stumbled upon this. Thanks for sharing your story. Leaves me lighthearted and inspired🙏
