Simple movements with great depth that provide a life long journey of discovery.

The beauty of taiji is that learning the form is not so difficult. Especially the basic Yang Cheng Fu form is meant to be able to be taught to a big audience. The skill in it lies in the usage of the ‘Yi’ or intent to lead the ‘Nei Qi’ or inner power. This form also helps you to open your body. As most people are very tight this part is essential.

My school teaches different styles. most of them come from or are related to the “Yang” familiy. This family developed their own style of taiji. I also learned some Wu style and Dong style which are again linked to Yang family taiji. The beginning is Yang Cheng Fu’s form, the advanced forms are Yang Shao Hou’s style. Shao Hou was Yang Chengfu’s brother.

This Yang Shao Hou’s forms contain more circles and are considered the lost art of real Yang style. Advance means that this forms wil challenge you more than the basic style. To undertstand what is supposed to be done internally one must first have some basic skills. There are fast and slow forms here containing mor movements than the basic version.

I’ve learned Yang style from my Sifu H.Eleonora and his teacher T.Y.Pang. The short Wu style is also from this teacher.
Yang Cheng Fu’s form and Yang Shao Hou’s form’s I learned from Liang De Hua
I still visit both teachers regularly.
