Hello SPJ,

You used to be very positive about your posts, and I enjoyed reading them. Why so negative lately? What’s going on?

Cheers,
John

Of course they can do whatever they want, but if your teacher is a good teacher and you are a hard working student, they will never be able to do what YOU are doing. They will be able to copy the movements, the postures and the choregraphy but they will never copy the intent and your hard work… At the end, who really cares about the “monkey sees, monkey does”?

Thanks.

That was a “high pat horse” followed by him teaching me a counter to it using “Jade Maiden Works Shuttles”.

You’ve got a really nice selection of very interesting clips up there but nothing of your form. Your handle suggests your doing the 108. Is that the case? It’s a pretty elusive form. I’ve never been able to find a video of it anywhere. I’m not asking for a form clip or anything. Just curious if that’s your training. I’ve been really curious about it for a while and all the so called 108’s out there seem to be just 85 step forms that have been re-numbered like this thing here:

That is the standard Yang Chengfu form being called “108” just for marketing purposes.

Hello Omartherfish,

Thanks for the comments :slight_smile:

I am from the Yang Jianhou->Wang Yongquen->Wei Shuren line. Our form consist of 89 movements. It is not very popular, and is very different from anything from the Yang Chenfu line. I practice mostly a simplified 37 movement version though as it takes way too long to do the complete form.

I should put the first section on Youtube some day…

Cheers,
John

if you do that, I’ll ask my teacher about doing the same with our version, which does not come through YLC’s sons, but rather from a student of his in beijing who was not a family member; while there are many similarities, there are also many differences - in some ways, the form works as a more recognizeable segue between what he probably learned in Chen vilage and what is more commonly done these days…
