October 19, 2008, 01:48 PMvery nice... I recognized the chen style sword form, but I don´t know from which style the taiji hand form was, so if you recognise the style please let me know :-)
For the long stick form... I´m not an expert but maybe it should be a spear form... the red feather thing was originally (historically) to distract the eyes of the enemy...

I don't know what style the taiji form is. The long stick is called a staff, gun4 in pinyin. The spear also called red tassel spear is hong2 ying1 qiang1 in pinyin. And yes, the tassel is used to break the opponent's focus. The racket and ball exercise I believe is a demonstration of the continuous flow of qi4.
How do I add characters to a post?

How to add characters to a post is discussed under the technical questions section of help [now shown as a question mark next to the $ symbol ,top right of screen ] but here is a link to that part of this website.
Thanks for the raquet and ball...demo of qi explanation;makes sense and that is what it looks like now you point it out.

October 18, 2008, 11:47 PMThanks Camille;that's great to see.A couple of things I hadn't seen before.The guy doing long stick form had a red feather on the end;was that just for show? I also hadn't seen one of the final acts which looked like it involved small tennis racquets and balls.
