Tai Chi Videos: Explore the Practice, Posture, and Philosophy

Welcome to the video archive for Esaias Tai Chi. This page offers a growing collection of free and members-only Tai Chi videos to help deepen your practice, whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced student. Each video is rooted in classical internal arts, with a focus on the principles of alignment, breath, and intent.

You'll find short instructional clips, form demonstrations, and occasional philosophical reflections to support your journey. All content is drawn from the lived tradition — not choreography for show, but the real cultivation of stillness, strength, and sensitivity.

What You’ll Find on This Page - (soon)

  • Principle Focused Clips: Short lessons that focus on one core concept — such as rooting, sinking, opening the kua, or the relationship between the shoulder girdle and hand.

  • Complete Sequences: Occasional uploads of full-length form section demonstrations, filmed in nature or practice spaces, to give you a sense of flow and pacing.

  • Daoist Reflections: Audio or video content on the internal philosophy of Tai Chi — exploring the Five Elements, Yin-Yang theory, and their relationship to embodied movement.

Who These Videos Are For

These videos are intended for:

  • Students currently attending my Tai Chi classes in Lewes or Brighton

  • Subscribers to my online training programme (coming soon)

  • Anyone exploring internal training with seriousness and depth

They are not performance videos. They are practical, sometimes instructional, and grounded in decades of lived practice.

Coming Soon

This archive will gradually expand as I upload more material. Planned future content includes:

  • Detailed explanations of weight distribution (e.g. the 55:45 stance system)

  • Internal mechanics such as energetic spirals, silk-reeling, relaxing and sinking.

  • How to practice in small spaces

  • Commentary on postures like Single Whip, Ward Off, and An

Learn With Me in Person

If you’re local to Lewes or Brighton, I invite you to join a live class. Video is a helpful support, but nothing replaces the subtle adjustments and energy transmission of in-person practice.
