Fu Zhongwen Yang-style Form Tai Chi.

Fu Zhongwen (1903-1994) was a respected Tai Chi Chuan teacher from China. From an early age, he had been a disciple of Yang Ch'eng-fu, and later a family member as he married Zou Kuei Cheng, the great-granddaughter of Yang Chien Hou.

Fu Zhongwen had dedicated his life to practicing and teaching Tai Chi. He was voted as one of the One Hundred Living Treasures of China and it was a great loss to the martial arts world and a greater loss to his family when he died in Shanghai on September 25, 1994 at age 92.

  • Yang Sau Chung's ...

    Yang Sau Chung's video has a very, very poor quality and its hard to apreciate anything. Upload your clip and let us judge your form as you judge ours. Anything else is just a bunch of words.

  • Yang Sau Chung's ...

    Yang Sau Chung's video is on youTube and it's a bit wider than usual, but the basic mechanics are loyal to what i practice so you can used that for reference. Too many fakes out there publish works and claim they know a style for money. They are fake shaolin amongst real shaolin temples to S**ker foreign fools that didn't know better, it's rampant and needs to be contained or anyone can wave their warms and legs and call it Yang.

  • The "style" changes ...

    The "style" changes every time. You can not do caligraphy exactly as your fellows and not like your teacher, because you are a different person. Take a look to the videos of Chen Zhen Lei, Chen Xiao Wang and Zhu Tian Cai, three of the Buddha warriors of the chen style who learnt with the same set of masters and are considered the gardians of their style, and you will see huge differences.

  • I have no problem ...

    I have no problem in recognize Ip Tai Tak. Zhenduo's work is up to them. They are happy with what they do, Why do we have to go and tell them if they are real or fake? If you are doing the real deal, the real stuff, why so much anger with all the rest. Really, post your clips, and let us enjoy of your form and expertice, I am not joking.

  • Yang Zhenji might ...

    Yang Zhenji might have helped trained his younger brothers, but you do you know Zhengduo is considered a fake to his own style...he dominated the media saying his stuff is real when only Yang Sau Chung (eldest brother) the most experience in training before their father's untimely death took over. You should read Ip Tai Tak's at least everyone of the yang style community recognize him. Yang zhenji was only a kid when his dad died and had incomplete training

  • Fu Zhongwen was ...

    Fu Zhongwen was inlaw to the family, not even an inner door disciple and UK sifu supposedly is the worst of the 3 and his form is better recognized...so how the hell you expect me to be satisfied with that? yang is very specific, unless you change the form for the better and it hasn't in the past 200+ yrs i doubt Fu Zhonwen's form is anything impressive since there's no power and intent in any of his movements

  • Your ignorance is ...

    Your ignorance is just justified by your lack of experience. Read about Yang Zhenji, and learn a little bit about a real master. Pity on you, pity...

  • Would be nice to ...

    Would be nice to watch your performing. It is easy to judge without showing yourself. Post your form and let us, the poor people who hasn't have the chance to practice with your masters, learn from someone with high skills.

  • Have a nice life. ...

    Have a nice life. If your world is monocromatic, I like all the colors and flavours. Who I am to acknowledge or justify who is doing what? Good practice and good luck. As I already told you, Fu Zhongwen was the chief instructor af Yang Chen Fu, and many recognice him as the best student of Yang Chen Fu. I wasn't ther, and I guess neither did you. Everything else is just bla bla lba.

  • i've seen your ...

    i've seen your videos and while there are strong strong similarities to the form i practice, it resembles nothing of what i practice...perhaps your teacher altered his style because the recognizable face attached to Yang style is Ip Tai Tak and Sifu Chu and both their forms are identical and yet yours match nothing likes it

  • the only real ...

    the only real masters i acknowledge are the direct lineage of Yang Sau Chung's, anything else is watered down or altered versions of his work. So unless I see Ip Tai Tak, and Sifu Chu of the UK or Boston then it's another version trying to fool people's eyes. The Yang style is survived by the 3 yang sisters and the 3 masters mentioned them above, if they actually acknowledge that horrible mechanics then i'll buy it, until then prove me wrong

  • His book is also ...

    His book is also one of the best you can find related to traditional Yang Style. I come from Yang Zhen Ji lineage, and even considering the small differences, I have no problem in recognize a real great master.

  • Fu Zhongwen was the ...

    Fu Zhongwen was the chief instructor of the students of Yang Chen Fu. When master Yang Chen Fu died, he was the teacher of Yang Zhen Ji and Yang Zhen Duo. His taiji is acknowledge by Yang Zhen Duo and Yang Jun, and recognized as one of the top masters of the 20th century. I have seen real taiji masters too, and this guy is fantastic. In this video he was in his 80's, so obviously, there can be limitations at the physical level, but all the rules of taiji practice are evident.

  • I study the ...

    I study the descended taught style of Yang Sau Chung's form and I've seen real tai chi masters practice weekly and this dude isn't putting his weight on it...if not the weight stepping then at least compare it to the pics of the Yang master's form and this dude's form, COMPLETELY DIFFERENT...
