Taekwondo, Cigarettes and the Human Weapon: Why?
I was really excited to see the Human Weapon guys finally doing a show on taekwondo, but I was completely disgusted when the one Master had Jason and Bill hold unlit cigarettes in their mouths so he could demonstrate his control by kicking them out of their mouths. Why didn’t he just use straws? Why cigarettes? And (presuming that both hosts are non-smokers) why did they actually agree to put those in their mouths? I’ve always associated TKD and virtually all martial arts with good health and fitness, so I was really disappointed that Master Yang would choose to make any kind of use of cigarettes as part of his demo routine. Just curious as to whether or not anyone else feels the same way?

T’ai Chi For Health: Yang Long Form [VHS]
T’ai Chi For Health: Yang Long Form [VHS]
One of the essential principles of t’ai chi is complete relaxation, letting the lower body sink as if rooted into the ground while the upper body floats above. The movements are slow, circular, fluid, and balanced. In T’ai Chi for Health: Yang Long Form, instructor Terence Dunn teaches the complex, 108-posture Long Form with clarity and patience. The format of this 120-minute video is similar to T’ai Chi for Health: Yang Short Form: 7-minute explanation of the qualities, philosophy, and health benefits of t’ai chi; 10-minute breathing and warm-up segment; 20-minute introduction to basic postures; full hour of step-by-step instruction in the 108 postures of the Yang Long Form; and finally a 15-minute Yang Long Form demonstration. Dunn is an excellent instructor, explaining each move in detail and demonstrating with grace, suppleness, and strength. –Joan Price

can you please tell me the basic differences (besides lineage) in the forms of tai chi? esp between yang/chen?
they are all slow right? Is one less comprehensive than the other or is it simply a lineage thing? thank you!
