Taiji People-by Sam Masich (S01E03) William C. C. Chen: Their Rules, Our Way
In the third episode of Taiji People, Sam Masich visits world-renowned taijiquan grandmaster William C. C. Chen in his Manhattan studio. A disciple of Zheng Manqing (Cheng Man Ch'ing 鄭曼青), William Chen has devoted his life to making the practice and teaching of the art 'simple, easy, natural, enjoyable and productive.'
Filmed in 2002 as part of Masich's 23,000-kilometre Taiji People odyssey, this episode follows William and his children Tiffany and Max through three evening-classes: taiji form, taiji push-hands, and taiji boxing.
Release date December 1, 2020 on the Masich Internal Arts KZread Channel. (31:47)

A brilliant video. Great to see Master William C. C. Chen teaching and training in his club with his students and family. His trademark "go to sleep and wake up" soft relaxation followed by dynamic intent is a great insight. Thank you for bringing this content to the public.

Thanks for watching and commenting.
Amazing to see this video and brought ro mind all the good times training with Master Chen from the late 70s and on. He had many students from all the martial arts doing the fightings, push hands and forms. A true Grandmaster!
Loved the episode. Really captured the people behind the names and it was nice getting a view of the way GM Chen teaches. Thanks for putting this together and sharing!

@@MasichInternalArts yes, I have watched episode 1 and 2, and I do appreciate the work that goes into them. There's a lot of noise out there, so showcasing the varied nature of taijiquan and the people who have put in decades to hone their craft, is valuable work.

i first heard of this great martial artist when I read the book written by Robert W Smith way back in 1974. As the years went by I was able to follow him troughs magazine and then social media.In my opinion I think he was one of Chen man chin best student as far as putting the moving meditation of taichi into practical application.

I didn’t know you knew Yang Jwingming. I hand copied every page of one of his books when I was in high school, around the same time I did your push hands weekend in P.G.....sorry I never joined you and Chuck for lunch.

I wonder why he(William Chen) never talks about his time as a BOXER, before studying Taijiquan
did you make a episode about Andy Dale, thought i saw him on the ice with a sword, in the intro, could be some one else but sure looked like Mr Dale.

That is Andy Dale and his interview will likely appear in a future episode.
Master Chen still looks so young
Will you do any video about Raymond Chung or is he not so important to you?

How does the more upright variant look Steve? Can you add a link to something you like?
почему для меня это выглядит каким-то сюром? Это же просто аэробика. Чем тай чи отличается от пробежки утром и вечером? Зачем это возносят как открытие какой-то несуществующей внутренней энергии и единения со Вселенной?
