"Remember, when moving,
There is no place that doesn't move.

When still,
There is no place that isn't still.

First seek extension, then contraction;
Then it can be fine and subtle.

It is said "if others don't move,
I don't move.

If others move slightly,
I move first. "

The style of Tai Chi most practiced today is the Yang Style. The origins and history of this style start with Yang Lu Chan (1799-1872), who studied and modified the Chen style into a new type of Tai Chi. He eliminated the difficult jumps and leaps, explosions of strength, and vigorous foot stamping, and refocused training on the understanding of internal power.


Yang Pan-Hou (1837 - 1892) the eldest son of Yang Lu Chan was the teacher of Wu Quan You (Wu Style). He taught the style known as Guang Ping Yang taijiquan and developed a Tai Chi form known as "Xiao Jia" (Small Frame).

Yang Chein Hou (1839 - 1917) is the second son of Yang Lu-ch'an. Yang Shao Hao (1862 - 1929) is the eldest son of Yang Chien Hou. Yang Cheng Fu (1883 - 1936) is the son of Yang Chien Hou. He redid the Yang form, making it more easily practiced by the general public and produced many Masters, who spread the Yang Style throughout China and overseas.
