Thank you so much for sending Maggie's form into the world for third and fourth generation to infuse into a practicing! A blessing to have seen the beauty of her practice.

Thank you Maggie, with great respect. Always a pleasure being in your company.

So serene, so peaceful; like a dance such an artful form of TaiChi! The music is a great mind clearing accompaniment! Thanks for doing the video!! ❤

This video is supposed to be available by purchase only on Vimeo. The money goes to a fund for Maggie. Please consider that. It's a form of income for Maggie's care.

The knee don’t overlap the toes , pivot on your heel , look into the far don’t look down ,straighten the neck like its hanging on the ceiling,relax the pinky finger so the other fingers will be relaxed as well ( relax the thumbs)

Thanks all the way from NewZealand for this wonderful footage. I had the pleasure of meeting and practising with Maggie and Ken (Van sickle) back in 06' . Awesome how this form has been preserved so accurately over time and space (countries far from each other).

@lauraxism That's great. I looked for years to find any video of Maggie. When I decided to buy the DVD set it was no longer available. Then I found the Vimeo listing and jumped at the chance. I'm glad that others will have such easy access. Maggie is a treasure.

This made me feel so nostalgic. I originally studied with students of Chi Chiang Tao and practiced something similair to this. I later trained under Huang Shen Shyan's lineage which helped me personally understand the movements more clearly but I miss the aesthetics of this form. (Please don't read that as condescension! I think I was too dense to experience the subtlety and needed a more paint-by-numbers approach.) Of course Dr Chi and Master Huang studied with Cheng Man Ching.

Thank you!

Everybody has a personal interpretation of Tai Ji.

I have tried to post info on purchasing the Maggie Newman package, but the comments are not showing up. I assume Youtube isn't allowing them. The posting of this video should be seen as an OPPORTUNITY to help publicize that project, which features more than two hours of excellent interview and demonstration, on social media. If Laura hadn't posted this, I would not have known of its existence. So go buy it, and tell your tai chi friends about it!

Thank you so much for posting this. Do you know when this was shot?

Beautiful. BTW, Ben Lo (Benjamin Jeng Pang Lo) told my group not to do the form to music. I notice there are videos of him doing the form with music accompaning the video.
