Nice! Never seen Wu / Hao perfomed so close to how the Tung family teaches it. They have it from Li Xiang Yuan, Tung Ying Chieh learned from him, before he came to join Yang Chen Fu. Sometimes his version is also called Li style and sometimes northtern Wu, he was from Hebei province, where Grandmaster Tung was his student. Looks to me that this gentleman can be of that linage to. Master Tung Kai Ying is my teacher.

@wagfinpis It is yang style. Wu hao style isnt a style of taiji per se. It used to be called open/close style and this method is added upon taiji. Many people do both wu hao and yang but you can only do one before the other there is a story behind it and you have to feel it to understand. There would be no requirement to do wu hao style after yang if there was a different in the energy, not the outside look.

Nice kai/ke taijiquan!

Wow... I'm really impressed. I come from a differing lineage of taijiquan; yang chengfu's. It's rare that I look at another style and see it still fits all of the rules from the classics. There were a couple things I thought were a little off; for instance the needle at sea bottom looked a little weak, but largely I would consider this guy a master... at least of understanding if nothing else. It's apparent he actually knows what he's doing, as opposed to people who just make postures. 5 stars

Love this performance, for me the best Wu/Hao representation on this site.. there does appear to be a Sun flavour to the opening and part horses mane but its very difficult to start making claims of certainty about these things. Who cares? Its good Taiji. Personal expression is an option at this guys level, and he may have practiced both. Added to this different lineages practice in different ways, why people get out of their prams over it is beyond me!

I had not seen Wu/Hao style until now. I thought Sun style's foot work was related to Xing Yi, but I see now it comes from Wu/Hao Taijiquan.

Amazing video. That was excellent taijiquan. The fajing looked great!

[wagfinpis]

it really shows too, it looks like a Yang/old Chen style highbred. this video makes me want to practice this set.

5 stars! Hao is said to be the most internal of the family styles.

this is only the latter developed 96 form the true essence of the wu hao style comes from the original 81 which is pure follow step and 7 star stepping!
