Xiong Yangho performing yang style taiji. Xiong Yangho was a disciple of Yang Shaohou (1862-1930) and was known for his teachings of taijiquan in taiwan.
I haven't been able to locate a full video of Hsiung performing his forms.I do have several videos of my former Sifu, Mr. Hen-ping Chiang (who studied from Hsiung) playing the form, plus Hsiung's QiGong, Jian form and San Shou forms. One of these days I mass produce them.....
The final movement(s) from the 3 sections of Hsiung's form were titled, "Embrace Tiger, Return to Mountain." I wouldn't go on to say it was similar to "brush knee" in the fact that both arms were in the position similar to carrying a large ball down thru the center of your body. The final movement were crossed hands in front then relaxed at the sides. It's kind of difficult to see all this from the video shown. 'Brush knee' form, as taught by Chiang, was with single arm/hand brushing, left/right
One of the "Big Dogs" from mainland China who brought the pure art to Taiwan after the communist took control.
