Yang Family Tai Chi Discussion Board

I have posted a video of an interview with Grandmaster William C. C. Chen and a demonstration of his Yang short form, taped in 1975. It is a vintage black and white video I took when I studied with him. It is beautiful in its simplicity. This is the first time this video has been made available. Presented in three parts on youtube. Here is the link to the first part:

Greetings Bob,

Thank you for posting the interesting link. A long time ago I used to practice a form that was similar to this one, but have not had contact with that teacher for several decades.

I have a question about some of the stances. Lifting Hands and Play the Pipa appear to require the back foot to be at different angles. Is that correct? If it is, do you know the reason for the difference?
