Hello (MCKWU) To answer your question about what I mean concerning Dim-mak in the Forms, is, just take a look at Your History -- It states that the one who invented Your Taijiquan (regardles of what Style) Forms HID All of the Dim-mak Application's, so others could not steal it!

Hi Gentlemen: I think that I have answered my question - of who changed the Form. In your History Articles it is stated that In order to adapt to the changing needs of society, Yang Cheng-fu began with his Father's revised middle frame, and made futher revisions. He gradually established the Yang Fa...

Good Morning Jerry; OK - All of you are up in arms, because of the "Demise of Taiji" that Erle wrote! Now, I read it, and it does beat up on Yang Cheng-fu! But, if its just speculation, then what is the Truth? I asked this question yesterday- If Yang Cheng-fu Did Not Change His Fathers For...

Hi Jerry;

I read Erle's article of the Demise of Taiji!

He did beat up on Yang Cheng-fu an afoul lot!
So, what is the real story - Who changed his Farther's Form, and by change, I can only assume that the Fa-jin, and the Dim-mak methods were removed?

What happened to having an empty cup - Its very clear to me that those of you who disagree with the article, without doing Any Investigation, is saying "Don't confuse me with the facts, my mind is made up".
