I was there. Three systems were shown in this video. First was the modified long form of Tai Chi. Chang is a grandmaster. It's his foot work. Second is the five elements of shen ye (sp?). Its a fist form. Third were applications of Shaui Chiao. I was one of Weng's student @ OSU in the 80's. It's amazing stuff.
Thanks, I've only seen the "Iron Butterfly" in pictures in MA Magazines. I do have the DVD "Chang Style Tai Chi Part 2: Long form by Master Shifu Hwang".
@daphnemark OK, I just found a similar video with more information, saying it's Chang Dong Sheng, and that he's doing "Chang style". Still looks very like Wu style, though. Do you know where he learned his Tai Chi?
Daniel, I remember going to your condo that night, your boys running around in diapers and you looking for pain medicine....Grandmaster never pulled anything!

@daphnemark I don't read the Chinese characters. Could you please say who is doing this form? And maybe give any other information you have about this video? It's (southern) Wu style, isn't it? Thanks :-)

太極拳
If my history is correct, Master Chang descends from one of the original Tai'Chi styles? Thanks for posting. The takedowns at the end are just great
哇，形意拳
我30多年沒見到了
before the great and masterfully makes that motion is impossible to see his jing-er. encrypted
中国跤各地有，常先生的武学，学不完，建中跤社苏成社长，身体不高大，老师那时也年轻，他得到最多。看内地，即使保定也看不到，台湾应有传人，大都75岁以上老人。
