I am a Tai Chi beginner at 62 and this movement feels so nice.

One of the first movements I learned when I started taking Taiji lessons, and the one exercise that made feel like I was actually DOING Taiji! Love it, 谢谢，老师！

The end of learning is the beginning of understanding We learn one step at a time when we are young We dance without thinking when we are old The routines become the effortless dance

I have done this motion for years and there is just something so natural and calming about it. It feels really good, and in this movement you can really feel the chi flowing.

It amazes me how something that seems so simple can be so complex and difficult. I must keep practicing. Thank you for your wisdom Master Gu

Watch how he moves his hands and practice that or watch how he moves his feet and practice that. Take it one little part at a time. One little part and practice that. You can do this!!! ❤️

It's good for the brain and stretches your mind, especially doing things on both the left and right sides

One of the basic movements, so harmonious in nature. That's why I love taiji.

Thank You for the teaching of this movement. I'm old so I need something like this.

Yes, after 30+ years of Tai chi practice, I quite often, find oneself, just breaking out, into Brush Knee form, and never feels the same each time, always learning something from it 👍

Love what he said at the end… resonates with my Ashtanga vinyasa practice.

Thank bring me more beauty master Tai Chi in this essential movement flow to us ❤

Master Gu, Thank you so much for this. Now I know why we practice brushing our knees daily as a warm-up.

I dont think I understood the Deep meaning of taichii tehnics, but I feel Like I am flying. Thank You Master! ❤

19.25 pm England I had some recent injuries and was finding it difficult to exercise but I saw some video of tai chi and thought I’d have a go to my surprise it helped a lot very quickly this one seems to be something I could do to help myself regain strength control and balance therefore it will help with the ones I have been doing thank you very much

Find a class and dive into it! I took up taiji about 25yrs ago to try to heal from a back injury in the Army; after about 6mos the stabbing pains in my legs were gone, and I was almost as flexible as before. Because I kept with it, now at 60 I'm fitter than a lot of guys I see 20yrs my junior, and the only time my back gives me problems is if I do something dumb (like spar with my teen son lol). A journey of a thousand li begins with a single step....take the step!

Thanks for your encouraging reply Tommy it looks easy but he is a master so it would I’ve tried this and it’s not easy at all I’ll have to do it very slowly to maintain balance hopefully I will manage it as I’m convinced it will be of great benefit 👍

Thankyou for your time in performing a wonderful discipline of interaction of mind body and spirit.

Through deep meditation the practice of Tai Chi expands our awareness, increases our longevity.

I am in agreement with what the Tai Chi master does. One can learn many forms and styles, but it how well you do the most basic form is what really counts. 谢谢

Thank you for sharing Master Gu. I study to be a Qigong teacher, your insight is verry helpfull. Quality over Quantity of forms. 🙏

I love this movement and the way he performs it - his movements are excellent. I practice and used to teach a form of Tai Chi. Thank you so much Master Gu.

👊🏾😎👍🏼 Very awesometastic! I have been doing this for a couple few years now. When at work and can't do the form then brush knee walk and repulse monkey allow me to Tai Chi simply. 🙏🏼😇🙏🏾 thanks for sharing

Thank you Master Gu! And all those who made this possible 🙏

Yes, great demo. Thank you.

Thank you very much for sharing this with us. From Brazil.

I practice Wu style and there is something very soothing and calming about this ‘walking meditation’ as my old teacher used to call it. We alternate between slanted forwards (gong bu) and upright (xu bu) and I think that constant alternation creates a gentle rocking feeling that allows peace

Ohhh. Just started for 20 seconds and hands tigeling so strongly, feel much energy in hands!!

I taught this one to my girlfriend recently as her first intro to taiji - it really does provide an opportunity to put all the principles of taiji into practice and it’s such an enjoyable movement as well! ☯️

I love this art so much focus ❤

Grazie Master Gu, A Nice Sunday 🙏💦

I love there's always this esoteric story attached in tai chi.

As Master Gu said, breathing is very important.

Thank you. I really did have a habit of wanting to learn it all as soon as I possibly could, but I realised I missed the point. Learning until the movement becomes an integral part of me and I an extension of the universe is how I feel now. 1000 times, as Master Gu says, feels right.

Thank you very much Sifu. Student from Sydney, Australia.

A very good lesson for me, as a slow learning beginner. Thank you for sharing that with us.

Nice. You can do this in place too by stepping back with your lead foot, for instance if you're in a small room or tight place.

Thank you Sifu. Looking forward to warmer, drier days to practice outside again. I also use this to work on my stepping and footwork. A variation I also use is brush knee walking forward and repulse monkey walking backward.

I will try this one for sure.😊

Xie xie... thank you very much for your good quality videos about Tai Chi basics :)

Very good Master, thank you. For those of us who do not have too much time to practice, one movement helps calm the mind "faster" and pumps up your energy. With all due respect, I practice preparation and beginning just by itself, coming back to the center. By 10 minutes I feel like I am about to take off from the floor, and the body starts to move by itself. I have not found advice on a single movement of the form like this, at least to my recall.

I did some temple exercises for about three months straight and I became really strong. Exercises like cleaning the mirror and polishing the table, to name a few.😊

Thank you Sifu. This demonstration was just what I need o get my 74 year old body moving again

Thanks do not have the time of late so I hope to practice this movement

Great☘️

I can practice this.

I come with Understanding of all. When you understand masteries, end up with giftedness and you release understanding in the midst of misunderstanding. I also am internally disabled, in the incurable, recovering from the worst internal injury given to me from the whole world, thankyou for your gift of injury. For you, you begin to now want to understand, for me its resting understanding and have it turn into something else because it wasn't wanted but was rejected by all. What is missing in Tai chi and everywhere else the absence of care. That care is essential to healing. That which comes out ftom Tai Chi a careless movement, void of healing. The masters in the earth are so rude, too rude can't make time for the disabled or hurting. Can't touch or hold hug or embrace the healing that is needed called life that comes out from understanding. This exercise I needed another exercise with it, that is with a simple twist leg behind. To do the two exercises together in a rhythm, brought focus. That focus is needed and is missing in the young and at times the aged. It didn't take a thousand steps. If I were to do it 1,000 steps all at once, I will hurt myself. Better to do 1,000 days one exercise at a time for a small amount of time. Slowness is always best for learning and understanding in days and minutes.

I find a gradual warm up then Ba duan jin( Martial art style) with BA FA WUBU in 30 minutes keeps my body in pretty good shape.then the forms are all gravy...HRM

It works

I agree completely

Thank~You~* Master Gu* , this is a great sharing. . and very much appreciated. . Thank~You!!!

Oh I do this often ! Only learned from instinct or perhaps past life as I can use all the exotic ancient weapons

It is very beautiful how Master Gu demonstrates this sequence of movements. The music is also very pleasant. Does anyone know the artist and the title of the music?

I will

👍 Very nice, Terence Dunn inn his Tai Chi video, suggested the same use 😀 . Also "repulse 🐵 monkey" to retreat. Cheers

It's a pleasure to see you but mastering the movements is gonna take time and patience

When I move slowly in Tai Chi it seems the Chi moves faster and has a complete circulation. I learned that I always feel better when I do some Tai Chi in the morning. My system feels circumcised instead of like a blob...Thx.

❤❤

I wish i could learn. It is so complicated.

He can speak perfect English he was a school teacher

🙏

A wonderful video Master Gu! Could you possibly explain the step-by-step movements a bit more slowly? I’d really like to practise this one as I can’t move much during the day because of illness and this seems to engage the entire body in a slow but good qi-flowing manner. But I found this one a little difficult to follow. I hope you have a great day! 😌

Go to your settings cog wheel - playback speed - select 50 speed. That should do it for you. Remember to breathe deeply, evenly .... and smile gently.

I would like this as well. It feels a bit advanced for me and would benefit from some more basic instruction before stringing all these movements together. Simply slowing the video is not enough.

@@julianneriise8362 Thank you for the suggestion, I know this is an option however I mentioned “step-by-step movements” specifically since I think only playing the video at a slower pace isn’t enough for breaking apart the movements clearly. At least not for someone like myself 🙂

At the beginning, I have a same your thinking, but after listening the Master Eu said to pay attention to feet, hands, eyes I just recognize that about nature movements of our body. For example, when you push your hand forward: exhale, your same side feet and hand straight forward like you pushing your car. You may be able to do it in 15 minutes. Of course it is not smoothly like the master, but you don’t need to remember much.
