Fall Prevention Tai Chi

Jennifer Chung Tai Chi for Arthritis Parts One and Two - her execution is slow and clean, easy for the beginner to follow.

NOTE: We base our Fall Prevention Tai Chi on Tai Chi for Arthritis but put a lot more emphasis on weight transfer, the relaxation response in the breathing (open and close hands) movements, and posture (body alignment).

   While Chung's demo presents the form as having two parts, we divide the form into THREE sections: Level One includes the cloud hands routine to both sides , Level Two includes the brush knee, play the lute, etc. routines to both sides, and Level Three goes through brush knee, leisurely tying coat, monkeys, etc. to both sides.   

Sun 73 Videos

A slow motion Sun 73—he goes lower and bigger than we do, does a “jump kick” instead of the four-step kick we use, etc. but you can still use this video to remind you of the Sun 73 sequence since the form is shown from the back.

Large group demo (front view) by Master Trainers from Dr. Paul Lam’s Tai Chi for Health Institute. Watching a large group like this shows you that not everyone does the form the same way!

Another back view from a talented individual. Again—she may do things slightly differently than what I have shown you, but this provides a fine video with which to practice.

Yang 24 Videos

Yang 24 Forms—Here’s an elegant demonstration. She goes lower than we do and her stance is bigger, but she’s got a lot of concentrated energy. Enjoy!

Another elegant 24 Forms demo—includes the name of each movement as he performs them. Here again we see the lower and wider stance; also a few little stylistic differences.

Yang 24 Back View—Once again we see the lower stance and bigger motions. This video includes names of forms (sometimes slightly different than names we use) but this practitioner has beautiful form and “attitude.”
