Judodad_karateson Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 I'm interested in the movement theories on Tai chi. Does anyone have any good books, videos, Youtube channels, blog, etc that explores the 8 gates and the 13 movement in more detail?
Alan Armstrong Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 Are you taking a Tai Chi class? Tai chi theory without practicing it physically isn't going to benefit you realistically.There are many styles of Tai Chi such as 'Sun' 'Wu' and 'Yang' some for health benefits and others for fighting with 'Martial Tai Chi' that may incorporate sword forms also.Tai chi isn't what ot once was. It was a formidable fighting style of the royal palace guards in ancient China.The eight gates you referred to could be from Wing Chun or Bagua.
