The Wu Style Fast Set is Wu's Original Form and it is a Long Combative
form containing 94 forms. It was created by Wu Chian Chuan's father,
Wu Chuan You, that parented the style known as Wu Style T'ai
Chi Ch'uan. While this video is demonstrative in nature it does provide what
may be the most comprehensive information to date of Wu Style's original
form with a chapter of Ma Lao Shi himself doing the complete fast set, and
then presents four demonstrations by an authentic indoor student of Ma
Yueh Liang for both comparison and more in-depth information.
Additionally, a special chapter of the form in slow motion is included with
the translation of all 94 forms names, and they are specifically labeled as
to the beginning and end of each individual form.
Now there are two new chapters covering how to use this dynamic form both
for self-defense and in Taiji Push Hands.
This form is explosive, yet harbors the
smoothness, precision, efficiency, and exactness of
the Slow Set. In addition to it's leaps, jumps, kicks and
more explosive movements, it fosters a main point that
of Centrifuge. This form is for those who want to explore
T'ai Chi's more explosive, martial qualities, and is presented
in Seven Chapters as follows:
