    good morning,

    is it possible, or is it just my imagination:

    it seems to me:

    wu is more pumping (inflation and deflation)

    and

    yang is more stretching (pushing)

    wu seems to be more qigong like, whereas yang seems more martial like

    any comments appreciated…

    cheers,

    daniel

    Maybe pulsating is a better description…

    The Old Yang Style can be considered a large frame set, movements are much more overt and longer in appearance, Wu Style is considered small frame same movements happening inside the body with tighter precision. Both use the similar internal components. It’s common for people to start with large frame, then move on to medium or small frame once more of the internal components are integrated into a practitioner’s body. Both are martial arts.
