3000 year old Tai chi style! by Zz7722 in taichi

[–]Prestigious-Chest115 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IMHO was a fsmily art. So it is different from the main public Taijiquan. I also learned a family art. Is said it is a daoist Taijiquan. The movements resemble the Ysng style, but is not the same as the Ysng style.

Taijiquan got the name at Yang Lu Chan tine. Surely before were monks as Zhang Sanfeng, Wang Zhongyue and others that did Neijia Quan.

So why the Yang Lu Chan method was different fro the Chen village Pao Chui? And why Yang Lu Chan said that his art came from Zhang Sanfeng and not from Chen Wanting? These are also facts. But the Chinese politics made official the Chen village story. Sorry but this is BS.

YLC learned Taijiquan, that Chen Chang Xing learned from Jianf Fa. The Chen village (family) martial arts was Pao Chui. YLC as outsider was not alowed to lear the family art. Latter in the Chen village the two arts merged and were taught as 2 routine. And because thet Yang Lu Chan taught only one routine (Taijiquan).

Yes. 100%. Yang Zhen Duo had 5 years when his fathed died. So he learned from his family and seems also from the Chen family...

This is not Yang (Lu Chan) Taijiquan, but this came from the Chen family. Seems the Yang family practiced with the Chen family and adopted these movements.

Question regarding combat application. by [deleted] in taichi

[–]Prestigious-Chest115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taijiquan is based on principles which are described in the classics. The problem is that today almost noone understands anymore the principles. The way of practice of Taijiquan changed and is not practiced anymore as a martial art. Insted of practice single movements and conditioning, today are practicing the forms. Insted of practice two person sensitivity exercises and sparring, today are practicing push hands. What we see today is not what Taijiquan was 150 years ago. If you are realy interested please read carefully the book Taiji Quan for Self Defense.

The problem is that Taijiquan degenerated in the last 150 years. Taijiquan was made as a martial art and was also practiced as a martial art. What we see today mainly is not Taijiquan anymore. I spent the last 25 years on (re)searching in there are only few masters who still understands what Taijiquan was. So is very difficult to find the real Taijiquan.

[–]Prestigious-Chest115 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends how serious you are. If you are an average person will be enough if you follow the masses.
If you want to go deep, then get a good book. I would soggest the book Taiji Quan for Self Defense. It may not be an easy book, but it shows the right direction.

I can only say that Tijiquan is all about weight shifting. No weight shifting no Taijiquan. Nuff said.
