Thanks Ors, nice piece of footage. Impressive perf by all, bar Wu Tunan.

I must confess I don't 'get' his Taiji. Does his "lineage" continue - are there any students carrying on his stuff?

i remember an article in tai chi mag awhile back that had an interview with somebody named yang yang who was doing it.
discipline, concentration & wisdom

Well, Andy!

I am not a big fun of Wu Tunan either. I would say I just couldn't understand his taiji, and that is the minimum...
But who I am...

Ashe!

Are you sure in the name? Feng Zhiqiang shiye has a quite famous student in the US, who called Yang Yang... I am sure he was sometime interviewed by the Taichi Magaazin either...

My first thought was Ma Youqing as his disciple as well. Thanks Tom for the vids!
As I understand they emphasize the "shen training" part of taiji, and the use of the "Yi". "Use yi, don't use li!"

I don't think it was Yang Yang. Dr. Yang Yang (PhD thesis on taiji/qigong) teaches Chen style in Champaign, Il and lectures nationwide. You can read (most of) the T'ai Chi Mag article here:

I remember a series of articles in T'ai Chi Mag on the "fighting form" of Wu Tunan. It sounded impressive, and there were some pictures of Wu Tunan apparently tossing his PH partners.

Looks as if Wu Tunan has taken alot of unecessary movement out of his form. I really like what he does. It also seems as if he is using a kind of crossover whip in the moves, a bit like Sun Lu Tang's.
