YouTube Videos of Cheng Man-Ching Forms, Applications and Push Hands

Some of these videos on YouTube were so interesting that I wanted to be able to easily find them again.  Then I realized I should also make it easy for you to find them.  Hence this YouTube videos section of the web site.

Applications

This is a pretty interesting video demonstrating applications of the 37 postures in the Cheng Man-Ching Yang style form.

This is essentially the same as the other video except a different camera man shot it so you see the applications from a different angle.

The following video, without sound, shows Cheng Man Ch'ing as a younger man doing the form. Notice that the postures are more defined then in videos of him as an older man

As he aged, Cheng Man-Ch'ing's forms became softer and more graceful although the postures themselves appear less defined. He is incredibly relaxed in these older videos.

 
Excellent CMC Sword Form Video
Cheng Man Ching
I like this video because it is easy to see the directions of the moves because there is a wall in the background to use as a reference point. Too bad the opening posture is missing.
