  • Wu Jian Quan altered the form to use a smaller circle, added some more applications and moved to Shanghai to teach it. The term "Southern" is only really used to distinguish it from the Northern Wu style, and as such is not commonly used.

    Wang Mao Zhai left the form as it was and continued to teach in Beijing. The most famous and prolific practioner of the Northern Wu style was probably Wang Pei Sheng (1919-2004).

  • Yes, the way we see it is that the style continued to evolve under Wu Jian Quan.

  • It may be considered Southern in BJ, but they don't have it in the Hong Kong branch so even calling it Southern could be misleading. Anyway no one's trying to misleading anyone just sharing a little vid.

  • I didn't mean to imply that you were you trying to mislead. The Northern/Beijing Wu style is rare, so the vast majority wouldn't be looking for it. It's only confusing to a tiny minority.

    Let me just explain the distinction. Wu Quan Yu altered the Yang form to create his own. He taught it to his son, Wu Jian Quan and another student, Wang Mao Zhai.

  • True, but it's considered the Southern Wu Style. The Beijing one, Wu Quan Yu's original form (passed down to Wang Mao Zhai), is called the Northern Wu Style and is much less popular.

  • 5. in 1914, wu jian quan and yang chun pu both demonstrated the original taoist 13 posture soft hand , wu kept the original taoist 13 posture soft hand ,called fast form , yang lost the original taoist 13 posture soft hand .

  • 4. wu jian quan also changed from the original taoist 13 posture soft hand to wu style and was regarded as wu style founder . but yang founder's old brother shao huo didn't bother to learn his brother's one ,still practise the original taoist 13 posture soft hand , wu tu nan learned from shao huo ,but unfortunatly tunan didn't passed down ,he left a couple photoes of the form.

  • 3. he passed the old taoist 13 posture soft hand to yang lu chan ,who brought the art to beijing .his two sons and two grandsons and wu quan you and wu's son all practised the original taoist 13 posture soft hand . lu chan's 2nd son jian huo also changed it to middle fram form ,which only tian zhaolin's line still keep the art , lu chan's grandson yang chun pu changed it to his style which is the porpuler yang form and he was regarded as yang style founder .

  • 2. chen 14th generation had two famouse masters :chen you ben and chen chang xing .chen you ben had higher position and more rich in the village , he mixed old taoist 13 posture soft hand with the tai zu chang quan from tong bei and formed his new 13 posture form and late on most village people follow to learn the new form including chen chang xing's decendents ,the form was the one tang hou saw as the 1st set of 13 posture. but luckly chen chang xing did change,

  • 1. Here's Stephen's Yan's explanation: chen 14th generation had two famouse masters :chen you ben and chen chang xing .chen you ben had higher position and more rich in the village , he mixed old taoist 13 posture soft hand with the tai zu chang quan from tong bei and formed his new 13 posture form and late on most village people follow to learn the new form including chen chang xing's decendents ,
