Then what lineage and what teacher
A few years back I stopped calling what I taught tai chi
Not because I don't teach classical tai chi but because what the general public consider to be tai chi is not what I teach
How modern Chen ,yang and Wu are taught are quite different
Don't even consider sun ,hao or fu
Trying to lay one blanket over the whole gamet is impossible,let alone what people have overlaid from other systems

Return to Xingyiquan - Baguazhang - Taijiquan
