The tai chi mastery program is largely focused on the yang and wu styles of tai chi. Perhaps the most famous combination style of tai chi is sun style. Do you have any particular advice or guidance or recommendations for someone wanting to jump from yang/wu to sun style, or for someone that has done sun style but is newer to yang/wu? Also, given that sun style is a taichi bagua xingyi hybrid, do you have any particular advice for me people trying to branch out from tai chi to xingyi and more so bagua? Looking at that in reverse, do you have any particular advice or recommendations for someone with xingyi or bagua background trying to get into or deepen their tai chi practice?
Feel free to rearrange or later those questions as you see fit. While none of them are in super depth personally I have more sun style experience than yang or wu background, and I have spent more time practicing bagua than I have tai chi.
Thanks,
Scott…..I practice sun, wu and yang forms and find they all work well as ‘containers’ for nei gung. That said, my practice is somewhat superficial compared to the depth of content introduced on the Mastery programme. My understanding is that sun style is a small frame form, yet much of what is on the Internet looks more wushu than ‘internal’. I like Paul Lam’s adapted sun and sun/yang combination forms as safe, effective and accessible, if superficial, introductory ‘tai chi for health’ forms.
