Four Methods of Dongyue Taiji
Master Men Ganhong demonstrates the four methods of Dongyue Taiji.
Dongyue Taiji (東岳太極) is a very special one. The brainchild of Professors
Men Huifeng (门惠丰) and Gan Guixiang (阚桂香), Dongyue Taiji was declared by
China to be the “Taiji for the new millennium” when unveiled on January
1, 2000. Professors Men and Gan are unique in the martial world. Not
only are they husband and wife professors at the Beijing Sports
University, they have both been awarded ninth duan (level 段), the
highest rank that China bestows. They are the only married couple to
achieve this recognition. Dongyue Taiji combines elements of the five
major schools of Taiji: Yang, Chen, Wu, Wu, Sun (陈、杨、吴、武、孙). Despite
being a new innovation, Dongyue Taiji is firmly rooted in traditional
principles with a heavy emphasis on basics.
Men Ganhong is the daughter of Professor Men Huifeng and Professor Gan
Guixiang. She currently resides in Korea. She regularly
visits America under the auspices of the Northern America Dongyue Taiji
Association presented by Tai Chi Yuen Association (北美東
岳太極拳協會,由太極友緣人組織教學).
