Hello everyone I am new here to the forum. I am going to start Tai Chi real soon and being from the Chicago area I have a lot of choices. The question I have is has anyone heard of WuShu style tai chi? This is the style they are teaching that is the closest to me but I never heard of that style until today. How does it compare to Chen,Yang,ect.? Thank you for your time,
Rich

wushu tai ji as a form competition continues to evolve.

Nan Du are added more and more.

however,

they are still the most popular or more participants than say long fist forms or southern fist forms.

other forms do not change much,

tai ji forms continue to change.

such is the life

c 'est la vie.

n 'est pas ?

10 things about: Chan Lu Yi, world wushu champion (http://www.themalaymailonline.com/malaysia/article/10-things-about-chan-lu-yi-world-wushu-champion)

Chan Lu Yi first started wushu training when she was seven years old. — Picture by K.E. Ooi

GEORGE TOWN, Jan 3 — When she participated in the 13th Wushu World Championship in Jakarta last month, Chan Lu Yi did not expect to emerge as a champion in the taijiquan category.

But this is not the first championship the intelligent 18-year-old has won since she started representing Malaysia as a wushu athlete under the taijiquan and taijijian categories about six years ago.

Chan first started wushu training at the age of seven before she qualified for the state team at the age of 12 when she placed fifth in her very first competition at the Malaysia Wushu Championship.

She won her very first medals at the Malaysia Wushu Championship 2011 by bagging a gold medal for the taijijian category and a silver for the taijiquan category.

She joined the national wushu team two years ago, and started training in Bukit Jalil and won more medals including two golds (for taijijian and taijiquan) at the World Taiji Wushu Championships 2014, a bronze at the Nanjing Youth Olympic Games 2014, one gold, one silver and one bronze at SEA Games Singapore 2015 and one gold and one silver in the 8th Asian Junior Championships.

On top of her wushu achievements, Chan is also a straight-As student and is currently studying Foundation in Science at the International Medical University with ambitions to become a doctor.

Here, Chan shares her training regime and her ambitions with us.

In her own words:

I started wushu when I was seven years old because of a suggestion by my parents’ friend so my parents let me learn and that’s when I started to train. I think wushu is interesting and a beautiful artistic sport. It is something I enjoy.

I entered the state squad when I was 12 years old because I was selected. From that time, I started to compete and I got results so in 2013, I was chosen to join the national squad. That’s when I moved to KL, when I was 16.

I don’t waste time on unimportant things like playing games or watching television. I must know how to manage my time. Besides playing wushu, I also like to read. When I have free time, I study. I do go out and relax on weekends, sometimes to hang out with my friends or to go shopping. Sometimes I do watch movies with them too, I like to watch comedy.

I’m now studying Foundation in Science in IMU. I want to be a doctor but I’ve not decided what type of doctor I want to be yet. Each week, I train six days a week and each day, I train about five hours. I train for two hours in the morning and three hours in the afternoon. For the training sessions, I have to do wushu training, gym training and skills training.

This was the first time I participated in the world championship. I didn’t expect to win gold, I just wanted to do my best. I don’t really have a target of winning which medal, I just concentrated on doing my best and try not to make any mistakes. I feel happy and lucky to win the championship as it is really out of expectations for me to become a world champion.

I will train in wushu for as long as I can, perhaps until I start studying medicine, then maybe I will stop. Medicine is quite tough so if I really can’t balance both studying and wushu, I may have to give up wushu.

I think it is not a waste to give it up as it teaches me a lot. I gained a lot of previous experiences through it. I have always wanted to be a doctor because I think the feeling of helping a patient to recover from pain and disease is awesome.

When I’m training, I must have the right mindset and be positive in it, I must be focused and have a target so that I train towards my target. Whenever I train, I have a goal to train and be as skilled as my wushu senior. I aim to become like one of my seniors, Chai Fong Ying, she’s a world champion also in the taiji category.

When I train for a competition, my friends, family and coaches motivate me. One must always keep a positive mind and know clearly what you want to achieve. My next target for now is to win the second world taiji wushu championship in next year.

To be a national athlete, you have to know what you want and work hard towards your goal. It is best to balance to your education and the training, if you can do it. I think the sports helps with my education, it refreshes me and I’m healthier so my body is not weak. I’ve a younger sister who is also in wushu in the state team.

Wushutaijiquan isn't bad. When you start exaggerating postures as in nandu, they can damage the knees (patella) due to posture extremity.
It is a great start and the postures are not that different from what is called "traditional' posture.

Pretty Lindswell continues domination in taijiquan (http://www.thestar.com.my/sport/other-sport/2017/08/22/pretty-lindswell-continues-domination-in-taijiquan/)

http://www.thestar.com.my/~/media/online/2017/08/21/19/42/kwok_2208_azmah_1.ashx/?w=620&h=413&crop=1&hash=4BC4A40AE2933182975BF0749E6DA8D533D309CD
Don’t mess with this girl: Indonesia’s wushu exponent Lindswell Kwok posing with her gold in the women’s taijiquan.

INDONESIA’S Lindswell Kwok is not just a pretty face. She’s also one of the best in wushu.

Lindswell’s elegant routine was a class above her competitors’ as she claimed gold in the women’s taijiquan with 9.68 points at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC) yesterday.

Agatha Wong of the Philippines took the silver with 9.65 and Malaysian Audrey Chan Yee Jo the bronze with 9.64.

This is Lindswell’s fourth straight SEA Games gold since Jakarta 2011.

The 25-year-old exponent, who is from Medan, surprisingly revealed that she did not enjoy practising wushu at first.

She was only nine when older brother Iwan helped her pick up changquan – a fast and forceful form of wushu.

“My coach Supandi Kusuma said I was too soft. I was only a kid then and I did not like wushu because there was so much discipline involved.

“But I switched to taiji, a slower form of wushu, and I began to enjoy it more. I began to observe and learn from my seniors as I got older.

“This win is all the more sweeter for me as I’m coming back from a knee injury,” said Lindswell, who has won the world title three times in a row.

Her eyes lit up at the mention of the Asian Games next year. That’s because Indonesia will be hosting the Asiad and Lindswell can’t wait to perform in front of her home fans.

“That’s my next ambition. I won a silver at the last Asian Games in South Korea three years ago. I hope to get the gold this time,” she said.

Indonesia enjoyed a good day yesterday when they bagged another wushu gold.

Felda Elvira Santoso and Monica Pransisca Sugianto gave Indonesia a one-two finish in the women’s daoshu (broadsword), scoring 9.67 and 9.66.

The 18-year-old won both his and the Republic’s second gold in Kuala Lumpur with his crisp routine

BY TEO TENG KIAT IN KUALA LUMPUR
PUBLISHED: 4:30 PM, AUGUST 22, 2017 UPDATED: 7:38 PM, AUGUST 22, 2017

KUALA LUMPUR — Jowen Lim does not fixate on winning medals every time he heads into a competition, preferring instead to simply focus on giving his best.

That attitude has paid off handsomely for the wushu exponent at the 29th SEA Games, after he clinched his second gold medal of the competition on Tuesday afternoon (Aug 22) at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre.

A confident display in the men’s optional changquan saw the 18-year-old recording a score of 9.68, which, in turn, enabled him to edge Vietnam's Tran Xuan Hiep by 0.01 to take gold.

Indonesia’s Edgar Xavier Marvelo recorded 9.66 to finish third

The sixth of 13 competitors to perform, Lim wowed the judges with his crisp routine. Even then, he revealed that he was surprised to emerge top in the end.


https://www.facebook.com/TODAYsports/videos/1616354745095093/

“For today, I'm really happy and speechless as to how I was able to win the gold,” he told TODAY. “I want to thank my federation for all their support and belief in me, and my family who came down to watch my performance.”

The victory added to his gold in the optional daoshu and gunshu on Monday, which was his first ever individual Games triumph and one he described as “extra, extra special”. Lim had won the gold in the duel weapons in 2015 on his Games debut.

But medals are secondary for the former two-time world youth champion and Asian youth champion who picked up the sport at five and made the national team at 11.

“My parents are both sportsmen and they wanted me to join a sport before I had to join a CCA (co-curricular activity)in Primary 3,” he recalled.

“We saw a live wushu performance on television and it was quite cool and quite special, so we just went to try…

“Every time I go for a competition, it's just mainly (about) showing how Singapore has strong wushu talents coming up.

“Wushu is a performing art so to me, it's just about performing my best to show everybody. It's not all about getting a medal to me.”

Lim currently trains from Monday to Saturday, juggling school during the week with his nightly sessions that run from 7.30 to 10pm.

It is a routine he has gotten used to and the Year 2 student at Republic Polytechnic is now targeting qualification for next year’s Asian Games in Indonesia, which he described as the “biggest competition” for wushu as it is not an Olympic sport.

With the wushu competition coming to an end today, it also means Lim has accounted for all of Singapore’s golds in the sport.

The Republic’s six other wushu medals - one silver and five bronzes - came through Samuel Tan (silver, men’s compulsory 3rd taijiquan), Ho Lin Ying (bronze, women’s compulsory 3rd taijiquan), Fung Jin Jie (bronze, men’s optional jianshu), Fung Hui Xin (bronze, women’s optional jianshu), Zoe Mui (bronze, women’s optional daoshu) and Chan Jun Kai (bronze, men’s optional taijijian).

Wushu veteran Agatha Wong hopes to build on a successful 2018 for future competitions. -- ALVIN S. GO

CRAFTING a successful season in 2018 amid a myriad of challenges that she had to face, wushu veteran Agatha Wong has only become more determined and inspired moving forward with her career.

Recently helped the Philippine wushu team to a fruitful showing at the 1st Asian Traditional Wushu Championship in China with two gold medals, Ms. Wong finished the year on a high note that also saw her winning bronze in the Asian Games.

The only Filipino woman who represented the country in the recently held wushu championship in Nanjing, Ms. Wong, a product of the College of St. Benilde, won gold medals in the women’s Taijijian and Taijiquan category.

The two top medals are in addition to the bronze in the women’s Taijiquan and Taijijian all-around event she won in the Asian Games in Indonesia early this year.

Speaking to members of media as guest at the Philippine Sportswriters Association Forum on Tuesday along with other members of the national wushu team, Ms. Wong shared that the 2018 she has had is something special and only serves to motivate her to further elevate her game.

“I think these two gold medals I got ended my 2018 on the right track. With these, I know that I’m on that level now that I can compete internationally. It only inspires me to improve more and train more,” the 20-year-old Wong said.

“I did not expect to have a season like this. You know that I went through a lot physically, have injuries heading into the Asian Games. But I just forged ahead,” added Ms. Wong, who also bared that she is still injured and has to go through therapy often.

Ms. Wong went on to say that despite the limitations that the sport of wushu is facing in the country, she feels proud of what she and her teammates are able to accomplish, highlighting the collective mindset they have to channel their frustrations to motivation.

“The training has been the same for us. It’s more of me and my teammates having the right mindset. This season was gruelling for us with a lot obstacles and challenges. But we are tried not to focus on the setbacks and instead focus on what we want to accomplish which is to bring pride to the country,” Ms. Wong said.

The wushu team said it is gearing up for more competitions in 2019, including the Southeast Asian Games which the country is hosting in November.

The two gold medals of Ms. Wong at the Asian Traditional Wushu Championship that took place from Nov. 28 to 30 was part of the seven-gold, one-silver and three-bronze haul of the Philippines.

Also winning two gold medals was Johnzenth Gajo in the men’s Changquan and Daoshu events.

Winning gold as well in their events were Daniel Parantac, Jones Inso and Thornton Sayan.
