We are from the same lineage. Ying Jin Pai Association Sifu Walth has been my instructor. Your Round Form is nearly flawless. Loved your Kicking technique and transition. Loved your insideout foot movement emphasis. Your sword form must be awesome.
@adasdful In my opinion, without a good foundation and understanding of Tai Chi principles, I don't believe you could learn it by yourself. I believe it is too difficult to pick up the details from a video and a lot of Tai Chi is in the details. I'd be afraid you would pick up too many bad habits which are hard to lose later. Sorry, it's just my opinion.
this is a very realistic, efficient and most of all an original style which can really help someone at all aspects of his life(health and fight). so if you have the chance, learn and practice it with patience before you say any thing for it
Obviously there are many different stylesof tai chi which have been differed from master to master and created their branches throught the ages. they obviously have differences on aplications,movements, probably efficiency and of course different levels of personal benefit. someone shouldnt judge this or any other style at least before being taught of it by a real teacher of the style.
the tachi of Shum Leung comes from his teacher Ngwainung who had 3 major instructors
Chui Sau Chun, Lau Bin Hun & Ngau Yun Ho Man. His classmate under Chui Sau Chun was Cheng Wing Kwong who furthered his training under the founder and shared these insights with him.
What we call the Slow Form is known in HK Wu Family as the "Square/Box Routine". It is said that this was formulated for teaching beginners.
Delphi1: Hand't heard of the Wang Mao Zhai connection. What's your source for this?
it almost seems to me like this is wu style in some way "yangified", in that the wu style i practise is similar in general sequence but much tighter, smaller circles than seen in this clip
Very skillful and convincing. Many years of hard practice. Good internal control and exposure of spirit, qi, and state of mind. Much better than those on the youtube calling themselves masters. Keep up.
You look awesome. Very soft.3:47 you come down a little off balance (you probably know) but this is not the wu style fast form i am accustomed to. Which wu style because there are two referred to as wu.
Sifu has said that the Wu form should always be smooth with no overt display of power. If you want to discover power there are special exercises to develop that but it does not belong in the form when you practice the form.
Part of our practice includes 'shaky power' drills where we practice techniques from the form with intent.
I think tai chi isn't meant for the high kicking and fast punching. When you do pushing hands is when that should come into play. But if tai chi were to speed up, i think it takes away from the relaxing and breathing and concentrating exercises born from it.
Thank you for the clearification. when I did see fast form my mind though Fast set which was wujian quans fast set does not look like this form. the title should say linking not fast though because of this I was confused. I think my sifu called this form the short simplified which can be called short fast set in other places I'm not saying that your wrong its just I needed clearification. Peace.
Sifu always referred to this as the "Fast Form," although the Chinese characters mean "connected or linking form."It is not a simplified form,but consists of 108 techniques performed in a continuous manner, as opposed to the Slow Form or " frame" (jia zi) where the techniques are broken down into very precise movements.
Sifu's form was taught to him by his godfather and is a combination of the northern Wu style of Wang Mao Zhai and the Shanghai style of Wu Jianquan with some modifications. The performance above is a beautiful rendition.
Sifu always referred to this as the "fast form,"but the Chinese characters literally mean linking or connected fist. This is in contrast to the " slow" form or "frame" in which the postures are performed in a non-connected manner. It is in no way a simplified form,but contains 108 postures performed in a non-stop manner.
This is the fast form ? this is more like the simplified for... I should post some of geralds clips for posterity sake this is not the fast form but a rendition if the simplified 24 in fast pace. the fast form is much faster and has a small jump in the first 1/4 of the form. but thanks for showing the 24 though lol

The wu form I have been taught is similar to this, but a little more compact, less rounded and (I think) more directly appliable.
Our lineage comes via Cheng Wing Kwong, and is focussed on taichi as a martial art.

This fast form is totally different from the fast form taught by grand master Ma Yueh Liang.His form has "Fa Jing" and high kicking and fast punches.

As others have said sifu refers to this as the fast form and so the poster as a student uses the language his sifu always refers to it as.
As for short this is a 108 movement form and in no way is short.

Nowhere was it stated or implied that this was the only Wu style. The statement just briefly describes it being under the Leung Shum heritage.
