- Recorded off from old 8mm film.
Shifu demonstrated the set for Taiwan TV in 1987. Shifu also did some "fast taiji."
Master Chiang learned from Master Kuo Lien Ying and Master Wang Chi-chien. Both men learned from Master Wang Jiao-yu. From Master Wang Chi-chien, Master Chiang learned Taiji sword, fast taiji, reverse taiji, breathing taiji, single-movement taiji and mind-body taiji.

I've taken a handful of classes with Master Chiang. He is the real deal! I am not a person who sweats but following him through a set was so powerful I was dripping. My set was deepened instantly and forevermore. I only wish I could have studied more under him. If you think he is double weighed, try to push him over haha.
When I studied in SF many years ago I stopped in at his school to observe. I watched him do things I did not know were possible. I also watched one of his senior students, a woman, perform a Shaolin set that was simply astonishing, I never forgot her perfection of form and her evident power. Lots of ways to do t'ai chi, guang pin is definitely one of the real ways.
Grand Master Chiang`s art aside from classical painting, is Fukien White Crane. His Kung Fu is beyond reproach. His White Crane is inside his Tai-Chi!
Perfect form!!! Perfect extended Qi!!! He is even more impressive in person. You can feel his essence everywhere.
Amazing form!
The video response I posted is of Master Bob Cook, a close disciple of Kuos who was personally taught by Kuo.
such a treat.. thank you for loading this!
My second Sei-fu & also student of my first Sei-fu, Master Kuo Lien Ying
We ar Kung Fu brothers!
This is the form I learned in the 1980s! I haven't been able to find where to practice it again. (My teacher Diane Hoxmeier had moved away from where I had been living. and that was it. No other form seemed so nice! Yes, I do notice he is "stepping heavily." like he falls into a step. but I guess that's how it's supposed to be done, since he is a master.
Wendalore65 - My understanding of this form is that it was an indoor form of the Yang Family, very rarely taught outside the family. This one in particular was taught by Yang Banhou, Lu Chan's most senior son. Heavy steps tend to coincide with the releasing of energy for a strike, in many martial arts.
I study Wu Style Taijiquan, which also carries heavy influence of the small frame of Yang Banhou, despite Wu Chuanyu studying also from Lu Chan himself. When beginning, not stepping heavily, or displaying any sort of dynamic muscle tension, or tension at all for that matter, is strictly prohibited to let softness and relaxation sink in first. Otherwise people will resort to dynamic muscle tension when issuing energy.
The Wu Jien Chuan slow form, removed a lot of the heavy stepping, stomping, jumping and fa Jin to make it more accessible to the general public around the same time that Yang Cheng Fu and Sun Lu Tang were doing the same with their forms.
The Fast (round/old) form of the Wu Style was retained by the Shanghai school that was inherited by Ma Yueh Liang and Wu Ying Hua. This form contains the overt fighting aspects of taijiquan, that were removed to create what is known today as the Wu Jien Chuan Style Slow Form, much like what is seen in this form.
While the Hong Kong branch of Wu Style doesn't have the exact fast form practiced in the Shanghai branch, they do have a fast form, it's just a faster version of the slow form, which is still missing the stomps jumping kicks and fajin. However, the Hong Kong branch still knows the same applications from the fast form as taught by Wu Jien Chuan himself, Wu Jien Chuan just didn't impart the old form. I can only suspect, in the absence of further evidence, that it had more to do with politics since the fast form is the old form his father taught from what he learned from the Yang Family, and Wu Jien Chuan, at the time he was teaching in Hong Kong, was marketing his creation/contribution to taijiquan.
I see very many similarities between what I've learned in Wu Style, and what I've seen here. They are all related if they came from Yang Lu Chan and Yang Banhou (specifically).
Isn't Diane in Hawaii?
Diane is alive and well and currently lives in R.I. She moved to N.H. for a while, then to Cape Cod where I learned the form from her in the 1980's.
@@Whiskey_Tengu Great write up 🙏
Amazing!
The Guang Ping system is also for use.Unlike what is considered court style. I believe it was Yang Ban Hou that the Chinese government asked to teach the army his Tai Chi. When he refused they threatened to kill his family so he went ahead and taught. What he did though was to water down the martial aspect so this is why not all Tai Chi is considered to be KUNG FU. Remember chin to the toe and standing meditation(1 hour or more) is required in order to have power when utilizing Supreme Ultimate Boxing.See how fast my Shift moves..... that is the real Tai Chi for combat!
" I believe it was Yang Ban Hou that the Chinese government asked to teach the army his Tai Chi. When he refused they threatened to kill his family so he went ahead and taught. "
If he refused the first time, per Qing Dynasty law would have been automatically executed no matter what, as that would reflect badly on the Qing Dynasty. The family most likely embraced the opportunity as it gave them, class,wealth and fame to a otherwise poor family.
And he definitely did not teach a watered down version as the court routinely held Sanshou/Leitei matches every 6 months amongst the military instructor's students and the Manchurian wrestlers and other systems.
If he students done badly that would entail the death penalty to not just his family but the extended family.
And according to the Yang Family book written by Yang zhendou, Chin to toe is simply to test if the potential student's dedication and has nothing to do with mastering Taijiquan...lmao
Mongol Chiuud Agree, these stories of chin to toe required to have power are rubbish. There are many Tai chi masters in Chen style for example that did not train chin to toe and demonstrate immense power and jing. Being able to generate spiraling energy and whip it through the body softly until the moment of execution is how much of the internal arts deliver power. It’s not mystical it’s physics and structure.
With that said chin to toe is extremely good for flexibility. And Guang yang ping style is clearly maintaining martial aspects
@@benxfuture yes. Grand Master Huang Sheng Shyan did not teach standing. He emphasized accuracy in the postures, the transition from one posture to the next, and Yi (Mind). He taught that all of the answers are in the Form. He meditated but he did not stand.
Look here for "Fang Ning" in his Form you should see the difference and look how effortless he pushes!
I would wonder if Chiang was able to push like that.
Oh yes he could push!
根本不知道"倒攆猴"是甚麼用?
How does Guang Ping Tai Chi compare to Yangjia Michuan?
Great question!
What dance are those kids doing in the background and why did the person filming this not realize they were a distraction?
It's a group dance, like what we call line dancing here. It's normal for public areas in China and Taiwan, and you'll always see them along with the people doing martial arts in the parks. The camera people probably didn't think it was a big deal.
@@raul_jocson_ right but to people who are not aware of this, attention is diverted...
Moves like a stalking cat.
why is he stepping so heavily?
80 plus years old!
@@markbiedermann7467 I don't think that's the explanation. He looks like he can move just fine. He has the flexibility to kick high, and she shows great strength and control in moves like Golden Cock Stands on One Foot. He DOES "land heavily" many times, sometimes VERY heavily; it's clearly deliberate. It may have something to do with taking a big step or with doing some movements rapidly; I don't know, but clearly he does do this "landing heavily" thing, and he really doesn't look like he has movement limitations.
@@MarconiZXX Do you think perhaps the weighted step is "the sinking "aspect in order to be Rooted?
比螳螂拳還差
揉膝拗步也沒有到位，真是誤人子弟
I realy don't want to offend anybody, but this looks ridiculous. He is so often double weighted and arms moving without any connection. I know Wu, Chen and some Yang Styles but this hardly looks like Taiji even just slow moving . I read something about Kuo Lien Ying and I am sure he was a very nice person, but this must not say anything about his Taiji knowledge.
You should keep such low level thinking to yourself.It doesn't make you look good to hear you down talking one of the treasures of our time.What is your lineage and would you please post something of your Kung fu Tai Chi or dancing. Or seal your lips and bury your tounge.
Don't feed the troll.
Michael Webber I am told never to feed the animals at the zoo but sometimes I cant help but chug a little bit of food over the fence. I pity the creatures.
@@MichaelWebber Thank you....

Ignorance is bliss as the old saying goes... When I asked Yang Mei Jun of
Dai Yun (wild goose) Qigong back in the 1990s about Guang Ping she said, she had not seen such a Taiji Chuan since the 1930s. She had a very high opinion of YC Chiang and his wife! Both were also students of hers!
