Cheng Man Ching's Form

[qiphlow]

wow! that's neat! i liked the fencing--we don't see too much of that anymore.

That was cool, I don't know a lot about Chen Man Ching’s style of Yang Taiji, but the foot raising thing is similar to something we do in Wu style.

If I'm right the video there was taken up to about a year before Prof died after he left and went back to Taiwan.
Although for the camera he makes use of showing some clear aspects of yielding and attack he is also pretty freeform and so the lifting up of the foot is one of those things that some students would copy it thinking it was the wat forward.

A lot of the American students tended to copy his every motion and some of his mistakes too and missed on some of the essence of what he was teaching.

The lineages of the Taiwanese disciples has a stronger line and has lasted more intact I feel than the American students because they managed to get more out of Prof.
This is my undertsanding anyway.
