About Traditional Wu Style Tai Chi
Tai Chi (Tai Ji) means the harmony of Yin-Yang. The Taoist named San Feng Zhang (1247~1458) is credited as the originator of the Tai Chi martial art system, although solid evidence as been shrouded in the mists of time. The modern history of Tai Chi however, can be traced to the Chen village in Wen county, Henan province of China circa 1700.
Back then, the art of Tai Chi was only taught in the Chen village exclusively, until the rule was broken for an outsider named Lu Chan Yang (1799~1872), who became a legendary Tai Chi master of the time. Quan You Wu (1834~1902), one of the few disciples of Lu Chan Yang, learned and mastered the essence of the art. Quan You Wu taught the art of Tai Chi to his son Jian Quan Wu (1870~1942) since early childhood. After dozens of years and hard practice, Jian Quan Wu finalized and originated Wu Style Tai Chi in early 1900. Traditional Wu Style Tai Chi stresses yielding and continuous flow. Its smaller framework and various push-hand routines are some of the characteristics of the style. There are 3 main branches of the style in China because of differences in lineage. They are: Shanghai branch, Hong Kong branch and Northern branch.
Although there are so many styles of Tai Chi, they all share and follow the same theories from the classical poems which were mostly authored by San Feng Zhang and Zong Yue Wang. Thus, the classical poems remain true guardians for the learning and practicing of the Tai Chi martial art system
