Yang Family Tai Chi Discussion Board

The Wu fast frame looks more like what taiji changquan would look like than any other style claiming it. The imperial yang changquan looks like bagua and hsingyi to me.

Imperial Yang Taiji Longfist clips- sorry had camera on tv so quality isnt very clear- http://www.polariswushu.net/imperilyangtaijichangquan.mpg http://www.polariswushu.net/imperilyangtaijichangquan1.mpg http://www.polariswushu.net/imperilyangtaijichangquan2.mpg http://www.polariswushu.net/imperilya...

Everyone had good stories and information and wisdoms to share on my ranting about the yiquan guy.

I pushed hands with several yiquan people and they just gave me stiff peng energy so i gave them MORE back. They lost their breath. I controlled mine. I am 33. If a 33 year old Wang Xiangzhai walked up to me to fight, knowing what I know now. i wouldnt be scared. [This message has been edited by mls...

I actually like the principles of yiquan but i dont think its all that- Now that I read what Wang Xiangzhai speaks of taijiquan i dislike him even more. He has a fe good ponts but he generalizes taijiquan a bit to far thus making his followers look down on the art. He may have been a good fighter an...

In chen Wei Ming book on Questions and answers translateed by ben lo- he makes similarities between pakua and da lu. q: does tai chi have the pakua boxing method of walking a circle and changing without limit? a: yang shao-hou once taught me a method in which two men, their rt. hands touching from l...

When i said this i was trying to be funny- "The way I have seen recently how competition 'wushu' taijiquan in china has gotten 'out of control' with difficult movements,360 jumpings, splits, one legged balances, mixing even baguazhang and xingyiquan elements ......I wouldnt be suprised if someo...

From the other discussion- "Yes, very interesting article. According to the author (Mr. Pang) some various forms/sets of Yang style (such as kuai jia - fast form, xiao jia - small form, etc.) were "designed" during its history to suit different needs and abilities of various classes o...

The way I have seen recently how competition 'wushu' taijiquan in china has gotten 'out of control' with difficult movements,360 jumpings, splits, one legged balances, mixing even baguazhang a...

so he finally watched the Imperial Yang videos and he will be translating them. He actually thought it looked somewhat interesting and the back weighted stance is close to the Michuan Yangjia system he teaches. It was actually a good visit. we didnt have time to watch the small frame and long fist f...

BTW- i told my friend to go argue with the Imperial yang Taijiquan people on their claim that their master studied with yang Lu Chan and they probably have the documentation to prove their claim. I just bought the VCD from china because in fine print it said it was the Yang Taijiquan practiced in th...

Thanks Louis.

I wonder if the Tung Fast form similar/close to taiji Chang quan we hear about?

matt

did anyone see the other questions ??? can anyone guide me toward the information for Yang taiji chang quan? As for lineage- the whole idea came about from a conversation I have been having with a Michuan yangjia (secret yang style) practitioner. I bought several VCD's and DVD's from China on the to...
