Title: TCCW's Spinning, form and function thread
Post by: Tai Chi Chuan Wijchen on January 05, 2020, 05:41:50 PM
I couldn't decide wich thread would fit my video('s). Since there's some spinning in there, but also a bit of Tai Chi Chuan form-practice and some light sparring or application.
But getting to know this forum and the love you all seem to have for a video or a lightsaber related picture. I decided to follow the example of Infinite and Finlayfox, and create my own little threat, so I can display this little niche.

I'm not trying to advertise in some way or another, I don't want to go against the rules, I just wanted to make sure I put this in the right place so I can share it with you people. And creating my own thread seemed the best thing to do.

If anyone disagrees, please feel free to remove this threat.

Here's an example of what I mean. A workshop I gave yesterday about the relationship between spinning, form and function of movements.
Text is in Dutch, roughly translates to the desciption I just gave.

Looking good and you're right, just like everything in life, spinning's about form and function. They form the basic foundations of virtually everything

I made my first tutorials.
Some of my students asked for a way to practice and have some little guidance. So I gave it a shot. Nothing fancy and pure basic spinning techniques.
But some feedback from this forum would be appreciated!

I hope it embeds playlists...

Videos came up just fine.

A suggestion? Don't worry about the blade showing up but rather turn some lights on so your students can see the positioning of your wrist, elbow and hilt.  Or even just add a "daytime" version to what you already have.

Other than that, they're nicely done! It helps to have it shown from both the front and the side...wish more folks would do that!

Thank you, was planning on doing a day time version, especially when we get to the more intricate parts.
But it's fun spinning in the dark.

The Bruce should've have made a song about that ;)

You literally made me laugh w/ that one! Now I'm going to have it stuck in my head all day...
Bad Master!
