Notes:

   

This version of the Yang style form was taught to me by Master Christopher Pei of the US Wushu Academy. o Master Pei was taught this version of the Yang style form by Yang Zhen Ji. o Yang Zhenji was a 4th generation master of Tai Chi Chuan of the Yang Family. He is the 2nd son of the Yang Cheng Fu. o Yang Zhenji began his training in Tai Chi early at the age of 6 years old from his father, as well as his older brother Yang Sauchung.

All photos were taken facing the front - the camera angle did not change Photos were taken in the springtime of 2010 These notes are intended for guideline only and can only be used as a supplement to your training.
