(5) Silk Reeling: Basic Concepts Part 3.1 | Tai Chi Basics


This is the 5th video in a series which describes Silk Reeling (Chan Si Jin and Chan Si Gong), which is a vitally important aspect of Tai Chi training. The first videos of this series discuss the theory and concepts of Silk Reeling. Later videos will demonstrate Silk Reeling exercises and explain how to incorporate Silk Reeling into Tai Chi form training. There are a lot of videos out there that teach Silk Reeling exercises without giving any in-depth understanding of what makes those exercises useful. This video series is meant to fill in the gaps.

(3) Silk Reeling: Basic Concepts Part 2.1 | Tai Chi Basics


Here is the third video in a new series all about the basics of Silk Reeling. These videos cover what Silk Reeling is, how to incorporate it into the exercises that are often called Silk Reeling, and how to apply it during your Tai Chi training. In this video a common misconception in the concept of gathering energy to the inside of the foot and releasing it to the outside of the foot is discussed. I also discuss how this concept relates to Silk Reeling. Stay tuned for the release of the second part of this video in the near future.
