Taijiquan is a full-featured, advanced-level martial art, which includes grappling, throwing, striking, kicking and weapons training. The uniqueness of Taijiquan is in the types of skills it develops rather than in its techniques. An individual or teacher may specialize in one or more technique modes, but the art itself does not. |

 Hong Junsheng 1907-1996 Hong Junsheng was born on February 17, 1907 (Chinese Lunar Calendar) in Yuxian County, Henan Province and passed away on January 23, 1996 in Jinan, Shandong Province, China. At an early age he moved to Beijing with his father. Poor health set him on a search for a good taiji master. Initially, he studied Wu Style Taijiquan from Master Liu Musan in Beijing. Master Liu was a famous Wu style teacher at the time. On hearing the news about a Chen Village master teaching in Beijing, Master Liu decided to invite him over for a demonstration. What they saw was Chen Fake's demonstration of Chen Style second routine Paochui. Nobody could understand it, including master Liu. The execution of the moves was too fast, according to the popular understanding of Taijiquan at the time. However, master Liu had the foresight to decide to learn the forms from Chen. |
