GU style Taijiquan(Part 2)

This is a style said to derive directly from Taoist priests. This was created at the beginning of the Qing (around 1650) by Gu Dian Yi, whose monk’s name was Yun You. He developed this style known as Gu Taijiquan. It has been passed down for over 300 years. Liu Deng Xin is the ninth generation holder of the style. His teacher of 30 years was eight generation heritage holder, Zhang Bin. In 1995 and 1998 Liu participated in the Yong Nian games leading his team to numerous victories including his own push hands and forms medals. He was also voted a “Taijiquan Master” by the community at the competition. In 1999 and 2000 he competed and lead his team capturing for himself the title of heavy weight Push Hands champion in 1999 and Heavy weight San Shou Champion in 2000. This form is VERY different from the standard Taiji styles though many primciples are the same. Support channel on Paypal: #chinesemartialarts #taijiquan #wushu
