Hello.

I just found out there is a yang kuang ping style school near me and was just curious if anyone has any experiences with this style that they would like to share. Supposedly, it's supposed to be the yang style from that was taught before it was "watered down" for the manchus or something like that. Anyhow, it's supposed to have a mix of both yang and chen flavors in it.

Also, for those that do have experiences, what was the experience with being a member to the national guang ping society? I'm always a bit hesistant when i hear that sometimes practioners have to pay yearly member dues on top of their training dues.

Background: I have done taiji for about 2 years and mostly PRC competition style routines. I am moving away from this type of training.

Any experience or thoughts on this style would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
A.
