I was just joking around . You are right
A lot of it is pointless to try and correct though. I think it would be easier to do like you said Master Grooms did and stop telling people all the non-sense than trying to correct it.
I give GMT more than enough credit
I think Master Sin is a victim of his own marketing...IMHO
yeah , I dont know if I want to touch this one....
It looked like it was early in the morning and it was not too long after his surgery ...
I am not making excuses just putting things in perspective....
He has always been known as more of a external stylist than and internal stylist.

see the clip of me doing the same form below. bill is the sr student in the system. should he just be "waiving his arms" the repetition was not the problem as that is the basic set. but his performance demonstrated zero understanding of the methods of chen tai chi chuan. please noone give me the old crap about it being "old" and everyone else doing "sport wushu"
i thought it was a poor representation of yang tai chi chuan, even more so since this the the sr student in the art and he is a "8th" degree "elder master".
i would expect more.
here is a example of me doing the first part of the same to forms bill leonard is showing.
the first 45 or so seconds is chen xinjia and the last bit is yang 64

come on lol
i think even with his medical condition what he showed demonstrated very low understanding of tai chi chuan.
ehhh i do not think that matters. he claims to practice and teach tai chi chuan and has been doing it for many years. i just think he does not know much about tai chi chuan. it shows clearly from everything i have seen from him.

any ideas on the back ground of SDs tai chi sword form?
...or is there something i have missed a glimpse of phantoms in the mist. Traveling down a dusty road bent forward with this heavy load..
I'd say the biggest difference in Leonard's chen taichi and what is considered good is he wasn't demonstrating the spiraling energy that you would see in someone who understands the principles of chen style.
The one thing I noticed missing in his yang performance was something that many yang stylist consider very important, and that is differentiating which foot was full and which was empty.
Actually, that's a good question. Also, what's the SD background on these forms?
*Yang Tai Chi sword
*Yang Broadsword
*Dragon Bagua
*Chen Tai Chi Fan
*Bagua 2 person set
*8 Animal Bagua
None of the Bagua forms seem to be from the same family. Also, there is a two person tai chi broadsword set. is there any other system that has one?
Although the changes are infinite, the principles are the same.
