I think one of the most important point of our Chinese Kung Fu is to teach people how to keep peaceful heart, balance body and get used to better life habits.

And once George let go of the dream of Youtube, and just follow his feet, he stumbles upon Daoism and Tai Ji Chuan, and now without trying, he gets over 100k subscribers to his channel. Wu Wei at work

This made me tear up because depression and anxiety is getting the best of me especially with this whole pandemic. I have wanted to start practicing Tai Chi but I have always felt too busy, until I saw this video and it made me emotional about how much I miss traveling and learning new religions and ways to calm our minds. Thank you for making this video, you’ve really inspired me.

Thank you. I was in a dark place when I came across your videos. I am a retired vet with multiple deployments under my belt. School, family, hobbies, all bought a sense of time being filled, yet no peace. I had learned some Tai Chi years ago but didn’t really take it seriously but thanks to your journey, I have decided to take it up once more. Thank you for the inspiration. May we all overcome our struggles and achieve peace.

Those commenting that Tai-chi wont help in a real fight or u will end u getting killed....I got news for u. You neanderthals have totally missed the point of this whole video. It was never about Tai-Chi, it was about George becoming a better person overall and him getting away from his "normal grind" back home. The whole new experiences in a foreign land with a "goal" had helped him grow as a person and to cope with his anxiety and build his mental well-being.

Whenever i’m upset, i do my taekwondo forms in slow motion, kinda like tai chi. Take whatever you are doing and make it tai chi. This man definitely is right about this depression thing. The only way to get over it is to slow down.

Now you learn tai-chi, now master the water bending

[ghostdogthakang]

Mr. Thompson, thank you. Your journey was very inspiring. At 52 years old, I found myself struggling with purpose. Retired from the US Army been to combat zones, etc. I have found Tai Chi helps me find my balance my center and although I'm just beginning, I plan to continue and be better than I was. So thanks sir, I appreciate you.

[HokiHumby]

what a privilege to be in a time where you can film these moments and look back on them for yourself.

[MrMongo]

Excellent videography. Excellent editing resulting in a thoroughly enjoyable viewing experience. Thank you, George!

Lol i love how that one guard rolls his eyes

Tai Chi has completely changed my life. I first started practicing it at 16, but became distant as I got older and transitioned to college/young adulthood (I also didn’t have a teacher). Last year, at the age of 24, I got back into it, found a teacher, and now do it every single day. As someone who suffers from severe mental illness, finding peace through Tai Chi has saved my life in many ways, and helped me to become a better person.

Love this video George! It’s the first one of yours that I’ve seen, but you have a new subscriber who is excited to check out the rest of your content.

Wow, this is beautiful. China is beautiful

[Faria-wvsd]

Thats every mans dream, and i trully hope u enjoyed all moments u had there. Stay cool

[SimoneDigonzelli]

This video is fantastic. I have been practicing Tai Chi here in Italy for 5 years, seeing this video has awakened intense memories ... Thanks.

[hollyliu]

So impressive that you had such understanding of 道 and went all the way to Wudangshan. I'm a Chinese and we call this 天资聪慧，虚怀若谷. I respect you and I think anyone like you deserves a Chinese resident permit！

[aeew]

That moment when you sat down in your chair after coming home. I know that feeling. It's the best and the most boring feeling at the same time. "I made it, what next. Can't stay here"

[Natashadanielsocdtherapist]

Inspiring! We should all face our fears and find ourselves. Beautifully filmed as well.
