Tai Chi Long Form - Push Needle to Sea Bottom

2 Dec 2024 Needle to Sea Bottom

 This Push Needle is performed in the same fashion as the previously learned Push Needle.

{Note – In the story that follows I believe Boonchai is referencing a Jet Li movie called “Kung Fu Cult Master”).

From Boonchai

  “The grandpa had 7 students. On the day he was about to celebrate there was a person who came up to the mountain Wu Tang Mountain that came to challenge the martial arts.  And none of his students could fight. He himself was the birthday guy, he didn’t want to fight. So if no one could fight then that means that the martial arts school has to close. Jet Li went up to the mountain, but the grandpa did not know that this was the grandson Jet Li wanted to protect the school, and he knew martial arts but he couldn’t use his own martial arts to protect the school he had to use Wu Tang martial arts. But he never learned before. The 100 years old master said let me teach you something called tai chi and then taught him tai chi. Then tells him to go practice. The master asked how much do you remember? 90%. Good more practice. Keep going. now 15%! Good how much now? zero! Good go fight.”
