cathal Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 A friend of my family taught this style for a few years. She said the most common advice she provided beginners was to be patient and to just enjoy. .The best victory is when the opponent surrendersof its own accord before there are any actualhostilities...It is best to win without fighting.- Sun-tzu

ninjanurse Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 While convalescing from my knee surgery I studied Yang Style. I enjoyed it a lot but now I am too busy with my own school to continue.

lordtariel Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 There are several different forms in the Yang style curriculum including weapons. Here's a couple of websites that you can learn a little more about it. As I have only studied Yang style, I couldn't really give you much of a comparison between different arts. I have found Tai Chi has taught me quite a bit about body mechanics, posture, relaxation, stance and meditation. Everybody practices Tai Chi differently and you'll soon be able to pick out who was a dancer, gymnist, or martial artist in their background just by the way they move. It's really interesting. Here are some web sites for you to check out.http://www.taiji.de/taiji/head5e/index.htmThis place has several videos of the different forms for the various different families.http://www.yangfamilytaichi.com/ There's no place like 127.0.0.1

Tiger1962 Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 A few months ago I observed a class of Yang style tai chi. It has an interesting lineage. "Never argue with an idiot because they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience." ~ Dilbert
ChuckD Posted September 2, 2008 Posted September 2, 2008 Buy yourself Terry Dunn's Tai Chi for Health DVD. It is in no way a substitute for a real sifu but if you ever find yourself struggling to remember a posture or a flow from one posture to another it will be of great help. It certainly was to me in any case
