Hi my name is Bob Linde and I am going to show you the next move in the 24 Yang Style Tai Chi set. I have actually been practicing Tai Chi for about 13 years now. So the next move is actually a series of moves in a way and it is called deflect, parry, and punch. So the last move that we learned was the fan through the back and from this position we are actually going to go in the other direction, we are pigeon toed, what we call bagua, and we strike with the knuckles, we step through, punch, wipe off, and give a good shove. So let's look at that from another direction now. So here we are from fan through the back, bagua, strike, step through, punch, wipe off the blade, and shove. Let's take a look at part of the martial application of that as well. Come on out for a second, alright, so we are going to grab his wrist as he comes through, strike at the temple, and then punch back up into the face all the while controlling his arm with our other hand. Thanks. We have had enough abuse for him for one day I think. So remember to find a good Tai Chi instructor from your area and enjoy playing Tai Chi.
