    Here is an old video of Tung Ying Chieh (1898-1961) performing part of the 108 pattern Yang Style Taijiquan set. It was filmed in Malaysia in 1950.

    Tung Ying Chieh was a senior student of Yang Deng Fu and if we look closely enough we can see that the performance of the set is very similar to the pictures of Yang Deng Fu's Taijiquan posted earlier in the thread. But as it is a video we of course get to see much more.

    What can we say about the body mechanics? Is it similar to how we train Wahnam Taijiquan?

    The sound on the video is a static hiss so you might want to have the volume turned down on this one.

      Here is another old video - it shows Tung Hu Ling performing parts of the Yang style.

      Tung Hu Ling was a son of Tung Ying Chieh, and, as one might expect, he was also his student.

      It is interesting to compare this video with the one I just posted of Tung Ying Chieh. Can we see any differences in how they are performing the sets?

        Here is another video of Tung Hu Ling (1917 - 1992).

        Here he performs the first section of the set. The video has some nice music put to it.

          Dear Kevin,

          It appears to me that Sifu Tung Ying Chieh doesn't emphasize big circular movements (you know-start at the back foot, turn at the waist and end with the hands). Maybe he has good reasons for this? Bear in mind I'm pretty ignorant of Taijiquan and still new to Kungfu.

          Sham.

            My Dear Family,

            I would like to share a link here on the Yang Style 108 pattern set which is very important.




            Sifu has emphasised these points many times over the years not just in Ireland.
