Why do you have more than one master doing similar styles of taiji, such as, the two Yang styles that you advertise?
Each master ‘s journey is unique to his own experience. Styles, their masters’s methods, and lineage all flavor the final form that a master will teach to subsequent generations. Taiji is a dynamic discipline with five major schools that have evolved and grown as a result of various modifications developed to suit specifc needs.There is no ultimate taiji style or master. The essential requirements of taiji are present in all styles. Although our series deals with traditional styles, there are many variations even within the branches. In Master Ye Xiao Long’s titles (vols. 22- 23) the martial essence of the Yang form is more evident. In Master Lu Gui Rong’s titles (vols. 37- 40) the even speed and additional circular movements of the “Yang Family” style are emphasized. One is not better than the other, both are equally valuable for different reasons.
