Yang style and more
Posted: December 7th, 2006, 8:23 pm
Any interest in posting about following topics:
Differences between Tai Chi Chuan systems
Neigong
spiritual and physical qigong practice
Six Harmony Theory
The Three Treasures
Jing
Transportation: Root at the feet?control at the waist?striking
Tai Chi symbol
Types of meditation
I?ve recently looked into the lineage/differences between the 2 Yang Tai Chi Chuan styles I practice from the Boston Gin Soon Tai Chi Club and William C.C. Chen. William C.C. Chen was a student of Cheng Man-Ch'ing who learned from Yeung Ching Po(Yang Chengfu). Yang Chengfu is the grandson of Yang Lu-chan (founder of Yang style). However, Cheng Man-Ch'ing's changes to the Yang style may or may not be officially recognized by the Yang family (debated). Also some consider Cheng?s Tai Chi to be a unique style (Cheng style). Gin Soon studied under Yeung Sau Chung, son of Yang Chengfu, and is considered one of three disciples.
I am interested in hearing what people have to say about the differences in approach between Cheng Man-Ch?ing and traditional Yang family style.
Also, Hello to friends in Rochester and elsewhere. I have been in South Portland, Maine for 2 months now. 1 month left to go for OT internship here. I also started teaching dance to adolescent girls at the hospital twice a week. My next site is back in Boston on a brain injury unit. I am continuing to learn a lot, enjoying cool fresh ocean air and lovely beaches, and have a pleasant mostly abandoned sunny parking lot to practice forms, etc on near my gym (or a backyard with plenty of mosquitoes and children?s toys).
