If I repeatedly blink really fast while using the mouse scroll wheel it almost looks like he is moving...

Check out pic 76!

 

yeah that is quite a good stretch ...and for an old man too...

 

hey mo ling nice to see you on here

 

18 is pretty good too. I know a lot of people who are much younger and cannot get that low.

 

Ihave a question for you all (even though mo ling is the only onw who is gonna get it) ARE YOU SCARE YET!

 

Why get that low??

 

It's more a byproduct of the training then an application. There are a few notable times when it may come in handy though. As far as this style of taijiquan is concerned, I'm not sure, (anyone, jump right in). In Baguazhang they frequently brace with the leg and shear with the waist as a take down. The lower your center of gravity the better.

 

how do you classify chen style? is it generally a long form/frame of taichi?

 

It's e old form!!

 

what a mean is, is this what chen style generally looks like? or does it have the short or medium frame? what i see it all kinda long circles.
