Gu style Taiji ???

The following typical threads that plague martial arts sites will get moved here if not just deleted: 1 - My style is better than Your style" - 2 - "Internal & External" - 3 - Personal attacks - 4 - Threads that start well, but degenerate into a spiral of nonsense.

Heh, heh. Well, it's OBVIOUS, isn't it? This was designed by "Master Gu" for dancing in French nightclubs to pick up "les hotties"... ;D

Would you mind posting a lineage of this style?

why would that be interesting to you? this kind of style was created by monk gu and passed 9 times down to its current master.

i found this style unique in its body control techniques, it does concern more yourself instead of the opponent. its good to relax and some techniques are unique

when u enjoyed watching the first movie, check out the second one:

Doc Stier tells a story of a competitor (or a small group of them from the same school) doing some kind of "Korean tai chi" or something like that at a tournament. The judges called a meeting, one asked "what is the lowest score I can give them? Can I give them a ZERO?". And this is the same thing that would happen to you if you performed your set in front of people who train this stuff for a long time. When are people going to learn that you can't take something like TKD, add some flowery arm movements to it and call it taiji?

I have a question for you Kolimbursi. You have a lot of youtube uploads and it would take too much time for me to explore every single one of them, so I thought I'd just ask you instead: do you have two videos that contain (even in part) the same form(s)? E.g. on one video you might be showing forms A, B and C and on some other video - forms C, D and E, so in that case those videos would BOTH contain the same form ('C'). Could you please point me to such two (or maybe even more than two?) clips? Any kind of forms will do, doesn't have to be tai chi or anything specific; the only requirement I have is that it's the same form.

Thank you in advance.

Some movements looked similar to Yang while others were more like Chen. I am wondering if there is overlap or connections in there. AFAIK all styles of taiji are connected if you go back far enough. Also the style is not very well known, this is the first I have heard of it. The lineages of most other styles are very well known but this is not.
