Perhaps, but it begins Left to Right. Wuji posture, shift weight to right leg, step with left. Play with it, you'll see.

Thanks Skip. Appreciate the support.

Here's another article for you. The end there is a brief piece on Deflect, Parry, Punch in Taijiquan. Enjoy.

Skip,

What books are you using for reference if I might ask? I'm always looking for more sources/references.

Thanks Skip!

Baxian,

I'm glad you liked the article and thanks for the response. To which version of the two person set are you referring? To be honest I am not well informed on this set. Every time I have...

It is my opinion that the limited movement/stepping in modern Yang is due not to some standardization but rather the simple fact that most of it came from Yang Cheng Fu as he was over 6 feet tall and...

Thanks for the positive response mawali and sanjuro.

I based the %'s off the total of 33 moves. If you reverse the numbers, as you did, then it comes out as off because some of them (such as...

I am doing a Quan Pu comparison for the Yang Taijiquan Tao Lu and I was curious if anyone is aware of the reason Cheng Man Ching removed White Snake Darts Tongue and Hit Tiger Left/Right from the...

Jake and others,


Thanks for the positive comments. “Jiao” (calling) is what I term setting a trap. I think your term is more in line with CMA so I may barrow it. Basically it is the opposite of...

Kevin and others,


I think your teacher was in line with what I have also been doing for the past 30 years though he has been doing it much longer. Having to use my art on a regular basis,...

Oso - I believe I stated clearly that this was "our definition" of 'Bridging'. Which was in line with Earth Dragon's. No need to argue semantics as I was answering his post not starting a war of...

Thanks for the comment Robert. I have to disagree with you here. Those are at least not what we define as bridging. Those are the actual bridge of when contact is made but not the act of bridging...

Thanks for the great responses by all. Sorry for the delay in response but I've been rather busy.

Chang Shifu, Chas - thank you for coming forward with your endorsement, it means a great deal to us that you would put your reputation on the line in support of Shifu Puyot and this endeavor. I very...

I would like to enclose the following quote from Shifu Puyot in response to questions on another forum -

I have been working with Shifu Puyot for a year now and I speak from my personal experiences after spending hours upon hours with him. I see many legitimate questions being offered up although some...

Are you interested in improving your fighting skills? Do you have a school and want to incorporate practical real world application/fighting into your curriculum? Or do you just want to unlock those...

Would anyone like to share their thoughts on the differences in application for these moves? They are almost identical in end game but clearly different due to the choice of nomenclature, much like...

My personal view on Internal/External is that every style starts out being external and evolves to internal. When moves are first studied and practiced they are usually unbalanced, uncoordinated,...

Jake,

Thanks for your input. I did some research before answering, as I'm not a Sun stylist, and the move in Sun Style (according to Sun Lu Tang's book) is very different than the Yang Style...
