Fu Nei Pai Tai Chi

[longxing]

Hi guys - great forum, long time trawler but 1st time poster. Can anyone shed some light on the Fu Nei Pai system for me?
Here is a vid of my instructor performing the lao jia of the system. Has anyone else studied or currently studying this style of tai chi? We are currently learning the Zhi Chui or Wisdom Fist. Our sifu speaks only Canto and Mandarin and my Mandarin is ok but often when he goes into the history of the style I get a bit lost. Thanks in advance!

Never heard of the style but that is a nice vid. Nice to see he places the whole foot on the ground instead of the heel first and also nice to see he doesn't lift his toe up in the air to make turns with the foot like a lot of the modern yang stylists seem to. Why do they do that? Because they are demonstrating a basic foundation level only? Probably....

Looks kind of like LHBF.

I like his shenfa very much.

Cannot comment more on the style, I don't practice it.
