Enjoy!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m16VCw6LLs8 Chu Gui ting was a excellent disciple of Yang Chenfu. you can read about Chu Gui Ting here: https://www.plumpub.com/kaimen/2011/chu-gui-ting/ "At 28 he began instruction in Tai Chi Chuan with Yang Chen Fu after having felt the power of Tai Chi Chuan....

Saw this on FB the other day. Movements are little too embellished for my taste and not what the Yang insiders do. Gu Lisheng (studied with Yang Family: Yang Shaohao and Yang chenfu in Beijing), his student Chi Qingsheng https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Wt0aEoNdZU A response to the video from person...

The 2 man Saber routine comes from Yang: YBH son Yang Zou Pun who FZW trained with in Guang Fu before going to train with YCF. Be also aware that the Saber form that FZW does is slightly different. I think Yang Jun or Yang Zhendou made some small changes. for example FZW's ends with punch down, whil...

Good morning DPasek, Yes, while I do consider FZW material Yang Family as he was married into the Yang family, I do notice the Youtube of Damon says www.youtube.com/Yangstyletaichi Interestingly Damon was in Guangfu town and said that: "there was a 5m Spear at FZW memorial for years." I as...

Social media, Youtube, and the like, seriously have a ton of people out there claiming "Yang Family" this or that. Crazy how I see people from Cheng Man Ching side say this is "Yang family" , or the "Imperial Yang" people say this is "Yang family" when it is v...

Bob Ashmore, Sorry to hear about your ranking experience. I've never had that problem. Been doing Yang Taijiquan as my first martial art 27 years ago and had already learned the whole system : form, weapons (sword and saber), push hands, Da Lu, long Pole, moving step push hands, the two man 'san sho...

"what are you doing to make your Tai chi combat ready?" Let's look at this from another perspective... I would be willing to bet good, American money that there were at least two dozen MMA guys who lost a match today. Go online, use any search engine and type in "MMA losses" and...

So now that Xu xiaodong smashed the Taiji guy Wei Lei (who did demos of beating his student with fancy moves). what are you doing to make your Tai chi combat ready? I suggested this to the Yang family association back in March 2017 before the whole fiasco: do you think they should implement more fre...

you can improve cardiovascular system by walking 10,000 steps daily or run 5k.

This is my warm-up for Taijiquan practice. Legs feel 1000x stronger than just standing practice. I have the apple sport watch which remind me to stand, meditate/breathe, and walking if sitting in the office too long.

Bob. I hear ya. Yeap, I've slowed down much after I hit 40, but still go to a boxing/kickboxing gym to put in some cardio from time to time. Def not everyone wants to fight, and many training partners (more than one) is always helpful. Personally, I've been in acupuncture school last 3 years so my d...

For decades I've been telling Tai Chi people to bring some realistic "Chuan" training into their curriculum and get their head out of the sand. Tai chi has many strikes and kickes, even elbows, knees, throws, and sweeps. Improvement for Rank Testing: I proposed this to the Yang Family Asso...
