i have seen plenty more than just that guy. alot of people chew up all tradition, and label themselves as 'taiji masters'. its sad that many begin following those type of people. ill never refer to them as Masters, Teachers or anything that holds even the slightest amount of respect.

Mr. Yang Jun, i have come across this webpage stating 'AUTHENTIC YANG FAMILY TAI CHI'. in just the introduction page alone, it speaks of (quote)"great Grand Master Fu Zhong Wen"(end quote) as being the lineage holder of Yang Tai Chi. it goes into this more, but it seems odd to me, cause th...

heLLo! about the Defend&Strike @ the same time.. i agree with that totally. But it's very hard to do 'instinctively'. i suppose with years of training, you can pull it off. i've seen that in WingChun tho. about the MA practitioners being these healthy hardbodies strolling the streets, sounds to ...

in regards to the QuickTime movie of Fu Zhongwen,

it seems to me like he's performing them in a lazy state.

This is a contrast to Yang style, no ?
