@@TempleToursRedwood Thank you!

@@christopheG555 Thank you for your comment and excellent question. This video is more about SONG, the relaxing of muscles and the opening of the joints. It is a prerequisite for PENG. Once we are in Song, we can layer on the energy or intention we want to deliver. So we can use Peng once we are in Song, but we can't Peng if we are not in Song. I hope this makes sense.

@@InternalTaiChi thank you. Very good explanation. First song to build the others quality. Thank you from Belgium 🙏

Stance width can vary according to what feels comfortable to the body, what the movement is, and what the application is.

@@InternalTaiChi what I am playing with right now is toes out vs slightly in opening up the lateral part of the spine...

Thank you!

Exactly. 2 ounces to move 1000lbs.

Thank you! ❤

It is unfortunate you degrade yourself by using profanity in your comment. That aside, if you check out Thomas Myer's work, you can look for yourself how Fascia has far more tensile strength than muscles, and can indeed, through tensegrity, create more force (strength). To each his own, but you might consider using a softer approach in your feedback.

@@dsfgnk4 You are very welcome. Thank you for watching and commenting.

Thank you for your positive feedback and taking the time to comment. Comments like yours help to keep me inspired to keep making videos.

Thank you for taking the time to share a bit of your background and the crossover from aikido to Tai Chi. There certainly is a lot of overlap. I do want to clarify. This video is about the fascia and moving someone with the fascia. It is a purely technical and anatomical approach that does not involve Qi or Ki. Once you can successfully move someone by touching their fascia, then you can add Qi to the technique for a magnified result. Some of what you're seeing when I demonstrate is likely my Qi. That might have brought on the keen observation that you made. I can also move someone purely with Qi but that is a more advanced skill. Anyone can move someone by touching their fascia without the need for Qi. Adding Qi once you do have their fascia really creates a nearly magical result. Thanks for sharing your background and for your insight and comments. Wishing you the best of luck in your journey.

@@InternalTaiChi Thank you for that clarification. I'm looking forward to learning more!

Thank you! :-)

Thank you!

Thank you. What a great compliment. :-)

Read my previous comment to you regarding stance, etc. I'm always a bit miffed that people don't recognize the size differential. I guess when you're not tiny (like me) you can't fathom what it feels like to go up against someone twice your size....and be successful. Even if his stance is less sturdy, I still should not be able to move him. If you watch my other fascia videos, you will see I am, indeed, teaching "how to do." As RUclips is a free platform, I am not going to give an entire step by step instructional course on RUclips. Making videos takes a tremendous amount of effort and time. Still, I offer quite a bit of free, clear instructions on "how to."

I appreciate your comment. Remember, I am picking random people whom I do not know, and who have no Tai Chi experience. I think that lends an extra layer of credibility. As I am teaching (and learning) I am not demonstrating the uber levels of mastery. Just a simple demonstration of what can be done. Moving, different stances, more resistance levels all should be introduced later. Many people confuse what I demonstrate with what I know. They are not the same.

I am so sorry that happened to you, but I am glad that this video and technique brought you some relief. Keep doing this and it will become quicker and easier to access that place of opened joints and relief.

You are so welcome. Thank you for your positive feedback!

I will check it out!

lol....keep up the journey!

I still practice Tai Chi with the hard force. Everyone I've seen with an External background does it. Some people call it Peng. Whatever you call it, It's just how I do it. I like Yang, Sun and Wu/Hao styles. I want to learn Wu style. I don't like the explosiveness found in Chen style. Sometimes I practice a Free Form Dance such as from Silat and I touch on all the Yang Style postures!

@mikeneidlinger8857 it sounds like you have a rich and varied background. I think the more we explore it deepens our practice. So it's great that you have been open to, and pursued different and varied practices.

I had never heard of this with the Fascia so I subscribed to your channel! I watched you move the big strong man!

​@@mikeneidlinger8857 thank you! 😊

oh thank you so much! I just gave a half day workshop and that very word was used by my participants: "Mindblowing!" Thanks for taking the time to share and comment.

You are right! No reliance on force to overcome force. It is so counter intuitive!

Lol......it is interesting you ask. I have been thinking about that alot lately. I have to say, I honestly do not know what is going on there or how he is doing it. I can also say, I can do that it too, and when I do, I have no idea how it happens. I am not at the level of Jordan, but I can bounce someone like that when the conditions are right (the other person holding their frame). I think Jordan is using a combination of Song, Kau (drawing in the force from the opponent to his low back) and releasing with fajin, delivering from his low back while remaining soft at the contact point. I can tell you that I feel absolutely no pressure at the point of contact; where I am touching him remains soft and undefined. But the force that is issued is like a ton of bricks going through me and nearly taking the wind out of me, but oddly not in an uncomfortable way. I enjoyed the sensation of being bounced. Jordan has high level skills, is a dedicated teacher, has a wonderful attitude and I enjoyed the time I learned from him. He learned from Sam Tam. Once I figure out how to do this consistently myself, I will do my best to teach it so others can do it too!

@InternalTaiChi please teach me how it's done, Susan. So Jordan will not review to you how it's done, but he can bounce you around? Is that a secret unless you pay with an arm & a leg for it,i find most tai chi & martial art teachers do that,which i can't afford to pay or go to their overseas workshops or online courses

@@1Samseng Jordan did teach me how and was very giving with his time and knowledge. So I did learn how to do it. I just found in my own journey, there was a whole more that I wanted to learn and apply. I do understand what you mean about spending and arm and leg and a lot of Tai Chi masters holding back information in order to make money. Keeping it mysterious makes it seem more valuable. Keeping the tricks untaught makes people hunger for it more, and spend more. I have spent more than I like to admit. As for learning it from me, I will be willing to make more videos and teach you if you like. In the meantime you might check out my friend and Tai Chi sojourner Shifu Lin at Phoenix Mountain Tai Chi. He taught me the fascia piece and that supercharged everything for me. He and I share the goal to demystify Tai Chi and get the "secrets" out there so the entire level of Tai Chi can be elevated and evolved. Just do a google search and you will find his website. He is highly skilled and teaches in a down to earth, no holding back way. He has a great course ($300) on Fascia Mastery that will teach you to easily move people around. The bouncing comes later with Song and Qi. Check it out.

Thanks, Susan, for your quick response. I am more interested in learning how to fa jin (bouncing off) i'll be waiting for your video . Please let me know when it's out..sorry US$300 is alot for me for Sifu Lin's course

@1Samseng you are welcome. Okay I'll make a step by step video. I'm in the process of moving right now so am posting videos I've already made to bide me through the move. So be patient with me but I will make one for you! Once I do, if you can do a "super thanks" in any amount no matter how small, it helps support my efforts. 😊

lol....good insight. Thank you!

Seems you are watching my very old videos. I like that, but you might check out some of my more recent Chen videos. The video and audio quality is much better! Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thank you. 🙂

Yay! You found one of my newer videos. Thank you so much for the positive feedback!

My teacher, Master William Ting, was awesome. He was so unassuming; the very embodiment of Tai Chi. You would never think he carried such internal power that could be demonstrated easily and impressively. He was humble, funny, wore T-shirt and loose pants when teaching, and was so very dedicated to teaching the truly important aspects of Tai Chi to anyone that desired to learn them. He passed away this past December. It was a huge loss.

Thank you! :-)

You are welcome. Thanks for watching!

Great! Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you! :-)

Cool!! :-)

Exactly! Thank you for your support and insight.

I am a therapist so I agree, it is hard to understand. Maybe a better articulation would be to not use the obvious muscles. Release the external muscles, like the biceps, deltoids, triceps, pecs, lats, etc. This then taps into the fascia and the fascia is much stronger structure. The deeper muscles closer to the bone then make the movement and are more hidden, subtle and more effective. That is my best guess. All I know is when my students (who have their moments of doubt too) place their hands on me, my muscles go soft and they are bewildered. Admittedly......I am too. The softer I am, the more results I get. Tai Chi is completely counter intuitive.

Oh gosh....thank you for letting me know. That is why folks aren't finding my Facebook page!

Very interesting information and insight! Thank you for sharing.

Nice! Love the imagery. Thank you for your insight and for sharing.

Thank you! :-)

Thank you.

I am assuming you are asking the viewers if they are having success. This is a great question! I am available for troubleshooting, and would enjoy hearing successes or problems. This helps to guide me toward making my next videos to assist in building toward success.

Thank you! 😊

Julie, thank you for your continued follow-ship and insightful comments. "Making the invisible, visible" is what I strive to do. Thank you for 'seeing' that! ;-) It is good to hear from you!

Yes do give it a try. You will be surprised at how the lighter touch can reap such results.

Wow! Thank you so much.

@@InternalTaiChi I think I’ve been on the cusp of a breakthrough in my training for the last few years, I’ve built a pretty solid, rooted foundation but I’ve been struggling with learning this application and I think you may have helped. I’ve just moved from the UK to Monroe, LA too and there’s nobody to train with down here. So thank you so much for posting this

@@truthhurts1884 Well that is a big move! Finding a good practice partner, no matter where you are, is truly the hardest part of the journey. Hopefully someone will show up for you.

Many thanks!

Thank you! 😃

You're welcome! Thank you for watching and commenting.

@@InternalTaiChi you're welcome. But it is very intersting for me and I like how committed you are. But the fascia-thing is still not working 🤷‍♂️ even if I am song

Thank you. If you want to email me I can help troubleshoot for you. 😊
