Tai Chi 24 Form Lesson 5 Repulse Monkey with Todd Martin MD
Tai Chi Yang Style 24 Form Lesson 5 Repulse Monkey with Todd Martin MD. In this lesson I will demonstrate Repulse Monkey and show the specific core movements required to perform the technique correctly with the proper energy. I will show the core movements phase by phase and at the end I will review the Tai Chi 8 Energies that are represented by each phase.
Each movement has a specific component of upper waist rotation, lower waist rotation and hip action. The combination of these 3 core elements is what creates the proper energy for the movement. How the combinations are sequenced creates the technique of Repulse Monkey. In the final strike, it may appear that the body is simply sinking back onto the rear heel without any twisting action. This can be confusing for those who know that all Tai Chi movements are created by rotation. What cannot be seen with the eyes is the rapid twist that is occurring. The upper waist twists in the opposite direction from the lower waist as the body shifts back. Since the two elements of the waist are turning in opposite directions, the net appearance is no rotation, so it cannot be seen.
