Wu/Hao Tai Chi Chuan - Part 1




Wu/Hao Tai Chi Chuan - Part 1

Volume 41 - 

http://onehand.com/pages/volumes_41_4... 

 

Taijiquan is evolutionary from the point of view that 
it has been modified by various masters over time. 
If it was Master Lu Gui Rong's journey of the 
internal martial arts has spanned over 50 years. 
He is a master of Wu (Hao) taijiquan, Yang taijiquan, 
and Dayan (Wild Goose) qigong. His Wu/Hao taiji 
lineage is traced from Wao Shou Ru, who was the 
grandson of Hao Wei Zhen. Hao Wei Zhen's teacher 
was Li Yi Yu, nephew of the creator of the style, 
Wu Yu Xiang. The 96 movement long form that is 
demonstrated first is derived from this branch of 
taijiquan. The first section (movements 1 -24) is also 
demonstrated twice at the beginning and end of the form 
repetition segment. The five form movement groups are 
performed four times each before moving on to the 
next group.

TaiChi




Tai Chi Meditation Methods:
Open Your Channels to Energy

 Most forms of health exercises, such as Tai Chi Chuan, 
constitute training in three stages: body, breathing, and mind. 
Training of the body means physical presentation of the 
forms. Training of breathing means proper coordination of breathing techniques. And training of the mind means tuning 
the mental state, observation of chi flow in the body, 
 and sensing the interactive relationships 
between the body and the surrounding environment.
