Taijiquan postures in Chinese

[dz]

Hello,

does anyone here know where I can find an online reference to Taijiquan postures in Chinese (pinyin)? Preferably Wu style, but other styles are interesting as well.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Wai

i meet my teacher (wu style) in less than an hour
i'll see if he'll take the time to write out all 108 movements
i'm not sure i'll be able to get across what i want him to do, but its worth a shot since i want the same info...on the other hand he's not really a teacher as much as a student himself, so he might not know the names.
i'll give it a shot though...
in the meantime if anyone knows of an online source, please post that as well...

Hi.

I only got the Chen 38 Form handy.

Look at

Oh yeah, let me add one more translation which comes from my onw lineage and has both pinyin and Chinese characters.

I found another web board, MartialTalk.com, before this one and this same question turned up there a little while ago. I copied posture lists out of a couple books I had to answer the question there. A direct link to the thread is
http://www.martialtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1071 I figured it would just be easier to point you over there than to copy and paste everything into messages here.

i gave my teacher the list of english wu style posture names
he said he would work on translating/remembering it
i'm not convinced the english names i got off the wu style homepage are for the exact movements we do, but he said he'd try. he gave his list of chinese names to some guy and never got them back. he's going to try to remember and i guess the rest he'll translate. he said he's busy so maybe next week he'll get it back to me.
if anyone else posts the wu names in pinyin before i can, more power to ya!

dz:

sorry its taking so long. my teacher wrote out the chinese in hanzi (characters)...no pinyin! i don't feel like looking it all up in my dictionary, so i'll try to hand it off to another friend who knows chinese. maybe he can put it into pinyin...it'll be a little while yet...
