7 yr old doing Chen Taiji

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...v=sPtpsna78I0#!


Anyway...so typical of Asia, people all around and walking by. Not like what most westerners envision when they think of someone practicing Taiji. (all peaceful and serine) It's not like the movies.


Kids got me beat by a year for sure...

I didn't start till I was 8. But the year before that...I'm pretty sure I was playing with my ArmyMen in the dirt:
-Or blowing them up with firecrackers
-Or shooting them with sling shots and Rubber Band guns
-Or Melting them in the Sun with a Really big Magnifying glass I took from my sisters science project.

Especially when you go to buy a bag of ArmyMen and they have more than 1 "mine-sweeper" in the bag. For sure those "mine-sweepers" had to die.



Ahhhh Good times, "O"

Agree with you 100% there. If you enjoy "performance" when you were young, you will always enjoy "performance" for the rest of your life. TCMA is much more than just "performance".

Even when you are young, TCMA is still 2 persons art. It should never be "solo".

boys at 7

kids are just having fun one way or another.

like games to play

All those skills they teach really young kids... this, or piano, or cello or whatever. It's done by beating the kids with a stick to make them practice hard.

whats funny is ive seen adults perform that exact same longfist set far worse than her....

I always liked the attitude of CMA practitioners from mainland China - at least the ones I've met: not humble, not boastful, just "This is my level, this is your level" - very matter of fact. But one thing they never seem to grasp is how it is that, in the West, there are so many traditional kung fu "teachers" and "masters" who aren't anywhere near as good as the average wushu practicing child from Mainland China. I don't grasp it either.
