Rare to see practice with such skillfull martial intent. Astounding. A true reference film.

So Very glad to find this video!!! Even in it's poor condition and missing a few steps it's fabulous. I learned this form from Dr. Wen Zee in Tuscon Arizona in the 1990's. He provided us with a book he had translated for Ma Yueh Liang that included step by step instructions for this long slow form that had drawings of Wu Ying Hwa. I believe the book is still in print...."Wu Style Taichichuan--Forms, Concepts,Apps.of the Original Style" by Wu Yin-hua & Ma Yueh Liang. Shanghai Book Co. Ltd.

Beautiful and graceful

Excellent vintage Wu footage.

Ahh, the gentle power of Wu Style. In Tucson we continue the tradition, training with Shi Mei Lin, daughter of Wu Ying Hwa. I have also trained with Ma Jiang Bao, son of Wu Ying Hwa, in Europe.

Yes Tsabdivad. This form was passed by Yang Lu Chan and his Son Yang Ban Hou to First generation Wu Quan You. It is essentially the same 108 form you see taught by 6th generation Wu family.

joli style aussi le Wu. Même origine et maître ;)

Current Wu Family Gate Keeper GM Eddie Wu and his sons have almost the same form. 6 Generations no change is excellent.

I learned this one once a couple of years ago. I'm also looking for some refresher videos, but haven't had much luck. I have a DVD of Grandmaster Leung Shum doing this, but it's tough to watch because it's not very well made.

Loyaute Thank you for explaining the history! I could not have said it any better. There is no reason for anyone practicing Wu Style to be divisive as it is one happy family. The exeption are some of their rogue students who may make ridiculous claims of grandeur.

It is Great Tai Chi at its Essence, period

awesome

Cool. The video - Early Wu style Taijiquan (1937) - is easier to see and I think this is what I'm learning

From what some "martial artist" have been spreading about taiji . Chen being very explosive and long. Yang being a simplified form of Chen with jumps and hard soft movements. Wu being simplest than the Yang Style. Wu Yuxiang being compact and sturdy. Sun being quick and dexterous in movements. I believe that each system relied on the masters body frame , dexterity , martial skill and ingenious understanding of their usage of Taiji.

This is the most complete video I've found of the specific taichi form I am currently studying... It's... so... grainy!

This is nigh on identical to the form done by Dan Docherty's guys in London (England), minor stylisic differences but all the moves in the right place.

Note that the Wu Family do not seem to teach this form, so it is likely to be an older form.

Not sure why my comments floated up to the top since I was replying to individuals, but one was meant for Loyaute and the other for JasonK2210.

i don't quite understand. this is the long form right? what is the long form that i hear about that apparently averages out to 45 minutes? cuz this one is done in 11 minutes. is madame wu just doing it a little faster? or the camera? or what? and is there any instructional videos or stuff on her long form?

My name is Maricela Marin, l am sick of espondilitis anquilosante and jhogren lNeed help for knowing a chinnes Goodyear dr Do you Knowles someone Who can help me Thanks to much

Yes! I've learned it the same way. We'd often do this form and it would take 30-40 minutes. People don't have the patience for slow, internal training these days, do they?

It seems to be complete!There are no missing postures.

Did she make a mistake in the beginning of the second part? (she started with cloud hands after the single whip then switched to fist under the elbow).

Image quality isn't good, but as somebody who is learning Wu Style, this is quite interesting. The form in this video is close to what I have been taught. I have seen in some books, the movements are somewhat different or in a different order. So even in Wu-Style there are differences.

wonderful ! thanks for sharing! xie xie :) this must be 108 steps (%)

Forma cuadrada
