Yang Family Tai Chi Discussion Board

Thanks. I have discovered that I very much like the William CC Chen version of the Cheng Manching version of Yang style. I have also discovered that I very much like Sun Style (likely my xingyi background talking there). For the first time in a long time I am having trouble stopping myself when I am...

Well, it has been awhile since I posted in this thread. Have decided it is time to put Yang style (Tung Ying Chieh Lineage) aside. I greatly appreciate all my Shifu taught me, and I am grateful for his endorsement to be a teacher. The decision has not come easily and I have been doing this for over ...

This whole thing upsets me from the fact that many in Traditional Martial arts can't fight, and believe they can, all the way to Xu Xiaodong finding himself in big trouble over this

Thank You for the conversation.

I am not exactly sure how to take that post, but I will respond with this I have been training Traditional Yang in a Tung Ying Chieh lineage for over 20 years, Trained Chen for a few years too; So I hardly call that jumping the gun. I have trained taiji for health and martial arts because that is ho...

Some place along the line, we had an argument about the "repulse monkey" form, Yang style. Some do it with the head turn once to the left and once to the right. However, some do it without having the head turned at all. People do not wish to commit which form is correct; and don't like to...

Hunyuan Taijiquan although has its origins in Chen (Feng Zhiqiang was a student of Chen Fake), even the Chen family does not claim it as Chen style. As for calling Zhabao taijiquan Wudang, I would not tell that to a Zhaobao person ;) There are many competition styles used in international competitio...

ChiDragon Yes, if you are familiar with traditional Yang you will recognize Beijing 24 as a Yang style, if you are very familiar with traditional Yang you will see it is not the same, it is not a duplicate, it is similar, some postures are a little different in 24, see 白鹤凉翅 White Crane Spreads its W...

ChiDragon I did read the link, but I knew that before I read it. Another person that played a part in the making of 24 form was Li Tianji (uncle to Li Deyin) who for some reason is not listed in the Wiki article you linked. But that does not change the fact that it did not come from the Yang family....

In the Beijing 24 form (Yang 24) some of the postures are similar to that of traditional Yang, but they are not same as traditional Yang style. Also unless you are following the 24 form that is from the PRC then there is a lot of variation within 24 form as well. However with that said, done properl...

That video is of the late Tung Huling, oldest son of Tung Ying Chieh.

Also he was a good friend of my shifu who was also a student of Tung Ying Chieh

Lineage is only a place to start looking. And there are many out there that think they have a lineage because they trained with someone a couple times. If that were true I could claim a lineage to the Chen family...and I can't...because training with one of the Chen family a few times does not put m...

Welcome.

I believe we have run into each other on another forum. Glad to see you here.

I have not yet had a chance to look at the videos, but I will when time allows

Thank You, But I know all about Fulan gong I need to know and I know all I care to know, no further information is required. Also the Fulan Gong aspect you introduced has nothing to do with the Original post.
