Chang Tung Sheng taichi

Uploaded by: bomb2114
Video Description:
During his time as student of Nanking Central Martial Arts Academy, Ch'ang Tung-Sheng was obliged to study other Chinese martial arts, including Shaolin, Tan Tui (the Muslim Springing-leg style), Pa Kua, and Tai-Chi. The style of Tai-Chi by Ch'ang was influenced during a martial art exchange with General Li Jin-Ling, a Yang style Tai-Chi master who was a generation earlier than Yang Cheng-Fu. This style of Tai-Chi also became part of Ch'ang's daily practice as Ch'ang style Tai-Chi Chuan. He was known to study a system and then assimilate and integrate its techniques and forms into his Shuai-Chiao. Ch'ang style Tai-Chi and Hsing Jing (Ch'ang's "essence of Hsing-Yi") were two results of this process, giving him the ability to kick and punch with the same confidence that he threw and locked.
GM Chang modified 6 moves out of the original form and "snake creep down" is one of the 6 changed. The reason was he believed the original move had dangerous form people stepping down on your leading leg knee. Also if you want tp apply "firemen's carry" throw then you have to point your knee straight up.

Ya ever heard of ... ( 1 year ago by phoenix777bkty)

Ya ever heard of the Iron butterfly? He was undefeated throughout his life, he fought throughout China and Asia and was never beaten! It is a modified Yang style that emphasizes throwing and Draws on Chang's extensive and unparalleled Shuai Jiao knowledge. It may be foreign to you stylistically but to call it the worst Tai Chi you have seen is an insult to a great Master and a testament to your ignorance and arrogance!

You are obviously ... ( 1 year ago by lazarus46)

You are obviously too impressed with legends and the "mystique" with which westerners imbue Chinese culture. Chang is going thru the outward motions of Yang Tai Chi, but his mechanics are all wrong. I have studied with 3rd
4th generation students of Yang Cheng Fu in 2 different lineages.

I am a student of ... ( 1 year ago by phoenix777bkty)

I am a student of his lineage, and I tell you that you are wrong! I have read the classics, and Further this is not the "New Yang" Lineage of yang Chen Fu, It is Martial Tai Chi Chuan! All modifications where made to improve combat effectiveness.

Further Where are ... ( 1 year ago by phoenix777bkty)

Further Where are the principles broken? Is he looking down? His body may not look upright, but where is there a break from head to sacrum? Is he stiff? Are his waist movements stiff or free? Does he have a clear weighting? His movements are connected.

Is there any point ... ( 1 year ago by phoenix777bkty)

Is there any point where his hands move and he is not moving in unison with his body? Is he Relaxed? Is he fluid? Again I say that you are wrong! I have never gotten into an argument about videos, but you have insulted my Great Grandmaster, and my lineage.

And I am in fact ... ( 1 year ago by phoenix777bkty)

And I am in fact not only impressed by his legend I am in awe! Most notably because his legend is true, and verifiable! I have nothing but respect for Him and his teachings. He was a man of great dignity and respect.

I hope everyone who ... ( 1 year ago by nifka72)

I hope everyone who puts a negative ,ignorant comment about Chang Style Tai Chi realize that this was modified for combat..this isn't the Tai Chi they teach your Grandma down at the "Y"...

Again...do your ... ( 1 year ago by nifka72)

Again...do your homework...No one of any serious credibility ,took on or challenged him and beat him...no one.I am not trying to pump up any "mystique" ...he was a legend.If anyone said his Tai Chi principles where "violated" and wrong,they would have gotten a proper showing of those techniques,and end up on there ass..I dont even study do this style and know whats going on.

Chang Tung-sheng's abilities were proven in real battles as well as competitions. He was more of a practical person a real and to the point type that did not play parlor tricks. But he was also fond of saying there is plenty of sky for us all to stand under. If anyone should ever want to play and show us why our Tai Chi is all wrong, you are always welcome to find his students all over the world to play with we all love challengers. It helps us all to learn!

this was awsome to ... ( 1 year ago by tao123chi)

this was awsome to see a real master demonstrating a form he designed. he truly was a one of the greatest masters of this century. did he teach any of this in u.s.a.? supposedly gm.m. chicoine and posibly sifu john allen was taught this form. does anyone know if this true? does anyone teach it?

Both GM Chicoine ... ( 1 year ago by nifka72)

Both GM Chicoine and Sifu Allen know this form,as do alot of people who studied under them and GM Chang. Daniel Weng,and alot of the people that split from the ISCA are teaching this.I learned the form from a former disciple student of Chicoine and who recieved his black sash from Gm Chang.

I know that Master ... ( 1 year ago by phoenix777bkty)

I know that Master Frank Demaria was an adopted son of Changs and his lineage, included my first teacher sifu Eric Sparge. There is also a man named david lin/lynn? out of atlanta who does Changs Shaui Jiao and possibly the tai chi form. Check out the ACCS website to see Grandmaster Demarias'take on it.

He was the man who ... ( 1 year ago by SuturedSoul33)

He was the man who comes once every 500 years. If you can not see what each and ever tiny movement is designed for you would never be able to adapt this to hard and throwing styles. Please avoid spiting your venom. He was both a National treasure in China and them Taiwan. He just wanted to spread the true martial arts to everyone.

This is actually pretty good. I've seen so much crap taijiquan on youtube and elsewhere, and a lot of crap talk about taijiquan from people who don't know it at all but think they do, that seeing a vid of a guy who can fight with it is a treat.
