i believe this video was taken during the time Grandmaster Li was teaching at Jianzhong Middle School in Taiwan, which place this around 1994. that would make Master Li about 68-69 years old in this video.

The creator of Chen Tai Chi, Chen Wangting, was himself a military man in ancient China, so he was probably exposed to styles such as long fist. According to historical records, when Chen Wangting created the style he took information and techniques from several martial arts, as well as Chinese medicine, when creating techniques. No doubt long fist, a popular and well known style, especially within the military, was one style from which he drew techniques, explaining some possible similarities.

Chen Style Taijiquan has its own form of Changquan 'Longfist' consisting of 108 forms.

Grandmaster huh ?... Not very impressive. And this is NOT taizu for SURE ! I can tell...

[darth8freak]

Grandmaster like grandfather. he's grand master because his student is master. and indeed it's not Taizu style, it's a long fist from called Taizu Chang Quan, named after the emperor Taizu who was said to be good at long fist. Next time read and think before speaking.

Idiot - He was allready in his 80's when this vid was taken.

Ps - He is also the custodion of the Chang Quen system

[darth8freak]

he wasn't 80 yet. Must have been between 60 and 75.

When you are in the sixties and you still can do that, and you still can teach, and your students can achieve greatly, and you students still admire you, then, you are grand master.

[patbirder]

Some say so- but maybe there was more than one "Emperor's Long Fist". Even if so (and there are similarites between "long fist" styles and Chen style Tai Chi) yes they are very different.

[shaoboxer]

its totaly different

[darth8freak]

I've never heard that :-|

And I kind of doubt that!

[bookguy12000]
