Yang Family Tai Chi
In the 1820’s Yang Luchan began studying Chen style and did so for over 10 years. His fighting skills earned him the nickname, β€œYang the Invincible,” eventually land him a job in the Forbidden City teaching the Manchu Imperial Guard. He developed Yang Family Tai Chi Chaun, which began to attract the attention of the aristocracy and as a result he and Wu Yuxiang began to slow the motions down, making them more evenly paced and reserved, suitable for more contemplative players.
From the 1840’s, the Yang Family began to teach publicly, hoping that the daily practice of Tai Chi Chuan could restore the health and downtrodden spirits of their fellow citizens. In the 1950’s, the Chinese government created the popular Simplified Yang Style Tai Chi Chuan 24 Form and propagated it widely to the masses as a health exercise. Today, estimates of Tai Chi Chuan players worldwide range in the tens of millions. Traditional Tai Chi Chuan has 5 basic styles: Chen Style is the most martial, with explosive strikes and coiling sinuous motions. Yang Style is the most widely practiced, with large open postures and slow, evenly paced motions. Two other styles developed from the early Yang style: one developed by Wu Yuxiang and Li Yiyu and spread by Hao Weizhen; the other created by Quan You and Wu Jianquan. They are known as the Wu/Hao style and the Wu style, respectively. Finally, Sun Lutang combined his experience in Baguazhang and Xingyiquan with Tai Chi Chuan to create the Sun style.
