I can not say how extraordinarily greatful I am to have found George and Master Gu. I've been longing for a Taoist community and I've found one. My next destination is Wudang mountains to visit the beautiful master himself and dwell and learn about the Tao. Bowing respectfully.

It's a real coincidence that i was suddenly curious to know more about Master Gu and there's a video uploaded just 2 hours ago

George, when I stayed with a group of Taoist/Buddhist in Thailand (yep, they mixed the two) I was surprised to discover that they eat primarily vegan food. Their ancestors come from China and their temples have Lao Tsu as well as others they worship. The most interesting for me is a beautiful woman who stands on a flying dragons. I believe their ancestors or parents got persecuted during the period in which Mao controlled the country through his interpretation of communism. I prayed and follow a few of their rituals though, my impression was that they do what they do more for the need to identify to a specific group rather than a deep believe which encourages self discovery. They considered themselves Thai or Malay but they keep their ancestry alive thanks to the numerous vegan restaurants and praying centers in both Thailand and Malaysia. I'm vegan for ethical reason but they are for religious reasons. They were very kind to me, welcomed me to their friends and family and invited me to their rituals and preaching though I couldn't understand a word. I did Taichi when I was younger in Japan but unfortunately after that, I returned to Europe to start a new life, blah, blah, blah. In brief, I stopped doing Taichi but now, watching your videos with Master Gu, I feel compelled to start again though I can't right away because I'm dealing with a serious neuromuscular condition which has rendered me unable to walk or move coherently but don't worry, I'm already healing myself.

How funny and very fitting, that the sound of the rain is translated to „applause“☺️

[davidfarley]

The production value of your videos is just incredible, like a movie I swear I would see a whole movie of your content. Love your work and Master Gu's wholesome self

[Fallingxleaves]

This is such an organic and beautiful way of living.

[maxcecco]

Keep on doing this man.
Its just great

[tpww]

Over a year ago I happened to find your videos and you inspired me to find a master to learn Two Chi. I am still learning Tai Chi, but admittedly the Yang style rather than your Wu style. Your are my inspiration Sifu. Keep making your videos.

[fauxbravo]

It was just a short clip, but it's cool to see how far your tai chi has come since the early videos. That's my favorite thing about kung fu: even though I feel awful sometimes, I can still tell how much better I am than I was a few years ago when I started. Martial arts is definitely one of the best self improvement choices I've made in my life. Keep it up!

[chenoah]

Thank you for sharing!such a beautiful place and inspiring!

[unforkyourslf]

I so glad your bringing this to people. Make me want to train with master Gu

[alcyonedetauri]

Perfect place to learn all about this very beautiful art immersing in this incredible place full of mysticism and more with this great master...

[scottlippert]

China has beautiful landscapes. It looks serene.

[allislove]

Beautiful video! Thank you so much for sharing. And I hope your foot heals up very soon, George!

[lefoutoirdeval]

Instead of playing today I have decided to wake up early and to walk in the forest while sitting on a fallen wood log! I'll do this almost every morning for dealing with my gaming addiction!

As usual this channel is always inspiring for me, it also helps me to keep watching content in English! Thank you George, peace from France! 🇫🇷❤️

[euclidofalexandria]

Thank you for posting, I hope to see you someday :-) i Love you...

omg this vid just radiates goodness and everything that is quality and profound about being alive. Tai Chi family is awesome! :-D . The insects, nature and plants are what it is all about - so uplifting and calming at the same time. Love the photography - insects.
