Chen style Tai Chi is known for its beautiful and explosive spiraling motions called Silk Reeling Energy. The founder of Yang style Tai Chi evolved Chen to Yang style Tai Chi, but is this Silk Reeling Energy lost?
You might think that Yang style Tai Chi is more linear with less twisting. And you'd be right to realize that it's not quite that straightforward because underneath the smooth Yang style motions are how Yang style preserves the essence of Silk Reeling, the way of applying energy as if to manipulate the silk of a delicate silk cocoon.
