To Spirit of Taijiquan: Greetings. This not Push hands but Dalu: Big Roll. 8 gates, the four directions and the four corners, etc. As such, it contains 8 motions: four advancing and four moving backwards. Once learned you connect to a partner and as one advances with Peng, Chi, elbow and Pull down, the moving back partner does roll back, an (push down); pull down and split. This is not Wu Style but Beijing Wu Style. It does not come from Wu Chienchuan (Wu in the South) but from his Taiji Senior brother Wang Maozhai. Wang MaoZhai learned from Quan Yu (father of Wu Chienchuan). When Wu Chien Chuan adopted the Han Name Wu, he moved to Shanghai. (Wu in the south). The Group that stay in Beijing under Wang Maozhai was known as Wang in the north. That lineage continued with Yang Yuting and Wang Peisheng. At Wang's time the arts were not as differentiated as know. Masters of great skill often said:" five elements in the feet, Bagua in the hands and Taiji in the head" Wang Peisheng is showing the 8 hands Techniques (gates); the footwork of Xing I (or Bagua, when he switches) all directed by a Taiji Spirit. Yes, there is Dalu with Bagua footwork as well as there is Baqua with linear steps. Look in youtube for: Liu Style Bagua 64 Palms.
dear brother i allways found people doing push hands as a form a little strange,but some do it. if you keep an eye on my site you will see me doing the two man san shou soon. we always first teach it as a solo form and then teach blending each form however is different. here wang starts by showing ta lu going straight but at 2.14 he starts to circle behind his opponent. in yang style we do walking 4 hands it is basically the same however i also learnt one calld small circle done in a circle.
Love this guy. He was the real deal.

Is there a full version of your video clip? If so where can I get one? Thank you for posting Master Wang's footage.
I do study Wu style and I have never done anything like this. Do you know what "push hands" is?
All the moves in the video are BaGua moves.
I didnt know there was a form for push hand. Can you elaborate a little more on this form if you can? please
It's Bagua, not Taichi.
straight line and circle line ta lu? Can u elaborate on this please? I never heard of this before. thanks
