An Introduction to Wu-Style Tai Chi with Sifu Amin Wu

[@TaiChiGhost]

I appreciate Sifu's focus here on basics. One of my teachers called the practice of this stepping method as "first Kung-Fu." I can tell you that as I become more experienced, I focus more and more on the basics; that is where the power is. Fancy movements might win you some medals in competition, but the basics will afford you the real victory on knowledge and skill.

Awesome lesson! One of the best explanations of Wu Tai Chi Plow oxen and stepping I have seen.

I take Wu Tai Chi and Sifu is spot on, your back is straight 99% of the time, if you are doing it right your core will always be engaged

Having taken lessons in Martial Arts over a period of 40 years (the hobby that ran away with me) I can tell you my experience on the subject of learning more than one style of Tai-Chi (also Pa-Kua.) It is my belief that one should learn several styles, but eventually choose one or two. One of my instructors said that it is best to "marry" one particular system. The chief advantage of learning different systems is to find one which suits you best, but also we can benefit from different points of view, which can bring better understanding of our chosen style.

Thank you for this, Sifu! I learned from Aaron Kravetz whose teacher was Dr Wen Zee, a student of Master Ma Yueh Liang. I feel incredibly blessed to have such a distinguished lineage ❤

Thank you very much Sifu Amin wu. I purchased your Vimo course Wu Style 24 forms and enjoying it very much. Will you provide us with new Wu style courses? Thank you very much and happy new year 🙏🏻

I have been studying shifu's Yang style 24 along with other teachers. I really love shifu Amin Wu's elegance and careful explanation. I am wondering whether it is better to stay with one style or to try more than one. I think watching this intro to Wu style makes me think also about what Yang style moves should be. These variations train the body in slightly different ways even though the deeper level is the same. But is that too confusing? If you b have time, I would like to know your thoughts on this idea of practicing different styles. Then you for this video and ask your work.

Glad she emphasized that the back foot is not open on Ox plowing (bow) stance. Its unfortunate how many "high level" practitioners have vids with their back foot wide open, as if they are not even aware that this is a major error in Wu Style stance work. It took me at least a few years to release enough tension hiden all over my body to meet the ox plow stance standard. But boy is the process worth it as you find areas that need to relax that you would never realize with the much easier yang style stance.

[@plagedor]

Hello which course should i start it on your website to learn this style the basic and the foundations ?

[@SifuAminWu]
