Master Ma was 91 years old when this was filmed. He lived to be nearly 100. His longevity, I’m sure, he attributed to his many years of practise of tai chi. In the clip he is shown demonstrating the opening postures of the Wu Family Tai Chi Fast Form. Master Ma was the son-in-law of the founder of that style: Wu Chien Ch’uan. Master Ma’s wife – Wu Ying-hua – was also a master.
Take home message: Practise every day – however much OR little is up to you. Some days you will feel up to a lot of practise. Other days not so much. But do SOMETHING and bit by bit the gifts of tai chi practise will be bestowed upon you.
NB: The YT link connects to many videos related to Master Ma. The first one is the one of interest but you may find the others informative as well….
