Yang 108 form detailed instruction: https://vimeo.com/ondemand/d2306ayang... This official #ymaa #yangtaichi form was learned by #dryangjwingming as a teenager in #taiwan with Grandmaster Kao, Tao (高濤) whose teacher was Yue, Huanzhi (樂奐之), an indoor disciple of Yang, Chengfu (楊澄甫). This form has martial applications intact and was preserved in its "old" sequence, slightly different than the popularized #yangfamily form. #yangchengfu and #yangbanhou taught a full curriculum of #taijiquan with martial aspects, pushing hands, weapons and sparring, but these were hidden, not taught openly, during Japanese occupation and then continued through early communist days. Only after the Chinese cultural revolution ended in the 1970s did these arts slowly get traced back to their original full fighting potential and depth. www.YMAA.com 
 
The "old Yang" form was created in China in the 1800s and brought to Taiwan where it was preserved. The Yang family form continued to evolve after that. There was a group of indoor students in the early 1900s, very secretive because of the communists. Yue, Huanzhi (樂奐之) was recommended as indoor disciple by another, Mr. Dong, Yingjie (董英傑) a famous master in China, even in newspapers for some fights and other qi master events. There were many disciples who studied but are not lineage holders or listed in the Yang family tree.
