Da Wei Gongfu 大卫功夫

WUDANG MOUNTAIN

 

This form is taught and performed in China at Master Yuan Xiu Gang's school, the Wudang Daoist Traditional Kungfu Academy. Wudang Tai Chi (taiji) is one of the oldest and most original forms of Tai Chi from the original roots of the style. This is The San Feng Pai variation of the Wudang Taiji 28 form. It is a subset of the original San Feng Pai Wudang Taiji 108 form. It is said that this is a direct descendant of the Tai Chi originated by Zhang San Feng 張三丰 in the Song Dynasty in approximately 1200 AD. He is thus the originator of the concept of "Internal Martial Arts".

Tai Chi Not a REAL Martial Art:

You're Thinking About it Wrong

 Tai Chi is Not Just an Exercise

 

Tai Chi (Taijiquan) is often dismissed as an not an effective martial art in the mixed martial arts and modern sports combat circles. I give my argument why in today's modern society where you are engaged in conflict situations daily and cannot win your arguments by knocking out or submitting your opponent, the martial art philosophies of Tai Chi are the most effective in navigating your life's conflicts.

Yang Sau Chung

 

 

MrTienmen

Yáng Shǒuzhōng Yang, Sau Chung (1910-1985), was the eldest son of Grandmaster Yang Cheng Fu. He started learning his family style when he was 8 years old under the strict supervision of his father. At 14, he started to assist his father in teaching Tai chi chuan. By the age of 19, he was travelling throughout China with his father to assist in teaching Tai chi. 

 

In truth, many people who have claimed to learned from Yang, Cheng Fu actually learned from Yang, Sau Chung. In 1949, he moved to Hong Kong, and he taught privately at his home until his death in 1985. His dedication to Yang Family Tai Chi Chuan was as equally committed as his father, grandfather Yang Chien Hou, and his great grandfather Yang Lu Chan; and, as a result, he achieved one of the highest levels. Yang Sau Chung passed on the family transmission to his First Disciple, Ip Tai Tak, (1958) and his three daughters, Amy - Tai Yee, Mary - Ma Lee and Agnes -- Yee-Li. He also accepted two other Disciples - Chu Gin Soon (1977) and Chu King Hung (1983).

 

Master Ip Tai Tak was taught the Yang Family's System (now it's called Snake System) and became Master Yang's practice partner for the next 28 years. Ip Tai Tak has two Disciples, John Ding and Bao Tak Fai (Robert Boyd).
