From what I have seen there are several styles that call themselves wujiquan. I am familiar with one that can be described as 'Buddhist Tai Chi'. It is a style that practices its forms softly and slowly but in application can be devastating.

Thanks for the reply. The style you mention sounds like the one that im talking about. I have seen a little of the system a while ago and it looked quite similar to tai chi chuan . It seemed to use alot of whipping motions and seemed to release tension at the very end of a flowing movement. I do not practice this style and so base my interpretations on observation only.
Do you know of its relationship to any other styles.

To my embarrassment, while it is a style taught by my late grandmaster, I know very little about it. I have learned the first few forms and a few training exercises, but I know nothing of its history other than that it is called 'Buddhist Tai Chi' because its origins are Buddhist as opposed to Taoist.

Where do you live, and where did you see the wujiquan?

Joedoe, are you descended from Chee Kim Thong?
Wujiquan that I know of is an internal system (i know, I hate that term but I need to use terms that people know) emphasising Fajing in it's strikes. I think it's of Omei origin, and the techniques are quite short. Most of the stuff you see in the West comes via Malaysia and is usually taught alongside Wuzhuquan or Fukien Crane. The syatem has 72 forms, split into 36 yin and 36 yang. I learned the first form "Yin" about 7 years ago. The expression is quite short, and they utilise a very tricky empty stepping method.

Joedoe, such strange language you use in trying to sepearet this Buddhist Taiji from other Taiji by saying that it's done very slowly but in application it's devastating.
What you have described there is every single legitimate form of Taiji. That alone does not make it Buddhist.

Whats wrong in using the term "Internal"?
It's a totally legit way to differentiate certain styles.

Because all traditional styles are internal and external simultaneously, and I dislike falsely pigeonholing them.

Wujiquan (Mou Gik Kuen) is an internal exercise which is one (in fact the most advanced) of the five forms of the CLF qigong system.
