Yang Style Taijiquan Martial Applications Videos

Post by oldyangtaijiquan »

Does anybody saw the VCD's series Practical Fighting Skills of Taijiquan of Wu Shijun? Which style is presented (maybe Yang)? Are the videos recommended?
What about the Combat Tai Chi video series of Mark Cheng?
Which is (are) the best video on Yang Style Taijiquan Martial Applications?

I have videos of Yang Jwing Ming, Wing Lam, Erle Montaigue and Bruce Frantzis. All this tapes are interesting and are useful but no one is a "complete" guide on Yang Style Martial Applications. I know that is almost impossible to cover all martial applications of the postures but some video could cover the main martial applications of the postures with the fighting principles.
I've heard that videos of Mark Cheng are good and also the videos of Wu Shijun seems to be good. Also the videos of
- Robert Poyton: Basic Applications (1), Yang Style Fighting Form (2) and Tai Chi Chuan Self Defence (3) and
- John Ding: Yang Style Tai Chi Chuan Self-Defence Application (1)
seems to be good. However I prefer videos on VCD or DVD format.
Which video is worth to buy? Maybe the VCD's of Wu Shijun (Shi Zhan) [available on Plum publications and Jarek's web page] or Robert Poyton videos (if are available on DVD)?
