Xiong Yangho was a student of Yang Shouhou. Is it my imagination or is he kind of drawing taiji diagrams starting at 7:51?

Could be. If so, it might be historically interesting.

Xiong also cross-trained in other styles other than Taiji, so those moves are not from Yang style. According to one of his disciples, they are referred to as Small Five hands.



More footage of him showing other forms and a couple of applications.

C.J.W. is right, that is taught out of the Xiyangzhang in the Xiongmen school, not from TJQ! And it is not a Taiji symbol painted by the hand, but neutralization on both sides, up and down. Sorry Robert!

Thanks for the information. Since it came after a taiji form I thought it might be related.
