Chen Xiaowang Applications DVD excerpt, Laojia/19ct w/ fajin, off "Ancestral Chen-style Taijiquan: Internal strength learning boxing and coiling slightly"
Also, for English speakers - the translation is obviously very rough. This is one of those reasons to 1) learn Chinese, or 2) watch these DVDs over and over to start to get what is meant. Both are good. :-) And, of course, to concentrate your attention on the fine movements of such a master of the body. What he says is important, how he moves is its manifestation.
Also, I feel sorry for the guy in red. He really gets tossed around, even though I'm sure Chen Xiaowang isn't trying to break him. Though the clipping back to bigger angles is poorly timed, as always on these DVDs... The "Too much production" problem in this whole series (green-screen dragons, waterfalls, etc. taking away from Chen Xiaowang's amazingness)
Lastly, the final bit on this DVD (this is the last 10 minutes) on the applications of foot stomp and downward punch is golden. Super helpful for me.
