@everything, the reason for the interest is that what is practiced under sub-lines of Yang style taichi can vary tremendously, to the point that they could be considered separate arts. Standing postures, spear work, Yang family baduanjin, the 2-man sanshou sets, etc - whether you will practice or have even heard of these depends a lot on which sub-line you are in.

Agree that talk of 'lines' doesn't make much sense when compared to standardised modern sports such as [sport] karate or judo....the more apt comparison is to Japanese koryu where they also discriminate between different lines of, say, aikijujutsu or kenjutsu, and for the same reason - the huge variance in curriculum.

interesting, thanks. aren't they supposed to do the same thing? have the same principles? shisanshi? guess that's why divergence is even more interesting...

It’s fine saying each line has different things if those things weren’t there for a reason
Take the san shou 88 movement forms
If they are not practiced there is a certain thing that is lacking in the curriculum
Each thing was put there for a reason
Not saying you can’t gain skill without them
Just that there is a certain path of knowledge missing
Don't put power into the form let it naturally arise from the form
