A compilation of some clips concerning the 8 basic martial methods or tactics of Taijiquan / Martial Tai Chi. I made it for my pals on the MAP forum :) Obviously the techniques would be performed at full combat speed in a fight situation, but that isn't the point of this film.

Here is a reasonably in-depth description of the subtler aspects that a fighter needs to consider, using the "6 harmonies" model of 3 internal and 3 external harmonies. http://www.martialta ichi.co.uk
This is a film for Kenny, as requested, showing strikes for the Scoop and Wave circle we practiced in class the other night. We accidentally missed out the rising palm strike under the jaw-bone - oops - but we do show the reversed circle and elbow strikes. Charlie also makes an appearance and it was made especially by request for Kenny. So that's our film for Kenny ;-)
A short film made to show a friend how Tai Chi / Taiji's first 4 methods can manifest themselves within an unbroken circular movement. 3 different versions are shown as form and with examples of martial function. http://www.martialta ichi.co.uk
