The Chu-ji Sets

Over the last year I’ve spent some of my time working through an intermediate set of taolus taught to me by my teacher. The Chu Ji sets are no more than 32 postures per taolu and consist of empty hand, broadsword, straight sword, cudgel/staff, and spear. Each teaches the basic postures of this specific weapon including some basic postures of the empty hand styles. These sets were created by 王子平 Wang Zi-ping father of “Madam Wang Ju-Rong”. Wang Zi-Ping was known for his mastery of Chaquan, Huaquan, Pao Chuan, Bajiquan, and Taijiquan. As I play through some of these postures in this short highlight video you can see some of the flavor show through.
