So Very glad to find this video!!! Even in it's poor condition and missing a few steps it's fabulous. I learned this form from Dr. Wen Zee in Tuscon Arizona in the 1990's. He provided us with a book he had translated for Ma Yueh Liang that included step by step instructions for this long slow form that had drawings of Wu Ying Hwa. I believe the book is still in print...."Wu Style Taichichuan--Forms, Concepts,Apps.of the Original Style" by Wu Yin-hua & Ma Yueh Liang. Shanghai Book Co. Ltd.
Ahh, the gentle power of Wu Style. In Tucson we continue the tradition, training with Shi Mei Lin, daughter of Wu Ying Hwa. I have also trained with Ma Jiang Bao, son of Wu Ying Hwa, in Europe.
From what some "martial artist" have been spreading about taiji . Chen being very explosive and long. Yang being a simplified form of Chen with jumps and hard soft movements. Wu being simplest than the Yang Style. Wu Yuxiang being compact and sturdy. Sun being quick and dexterous in movements. I believe that each system relied on the masters body frame , dexterity , martial skill and ingenious understanding of their usage of Taiji.
Each is a variation on a theme, with each practitioner tweaking it in their own way, according to their experimentation, preferences, areas of strength - like you said, body type. I briefly encountered one style that featured a lot of movement from pigeon-toed stance to another.

I learned this one once a couple of years ago. I'm also looking for some refresher videos, but haven't had much luck. I have a DVD of Grandmaster Leung Shum doing this, but it's tough to watch because it's not very well made.
Image quality isn't good, but as somebody who is learning Wu Style, this is quite interesting. The form in this video is close to what I have been taught. I have seen in some books, the movements are somewhat different or in a different order. So even in Wu-Style there are differences.
is A and B, the old camera speed up the video, BUT she is doing faster, today Wu style focus too much on being slow, forget timing, estability and potence in the name of making the taolu slower
This is nigh on identical to the form done by Dan Docherty's guys in London (England), minor stylisic differences but all the moves in the right place.
Yes! I've learned it the same way. We'd often do this form and it would take 30-40 minutes. People don't have the patience for slow, internal training these days, do they?
Did she make a mistake in the beginning of the second part? (she started with cloud hands after the single whip then switched to fist under the elbow).
i don't quite understand. this is the long form right? what is the long form that i hear about that apparently averages out to 45 minutes? cuz this one is done in 11 minutes. is madame wu just doing it a little faster? or the camera? or what? and is there any instructional videos or stuff on her long form?
Does anybody know where else on youtube can I find this style of Wu? All the other Wu styles I find are different,but this is the one I am learning now. And is there anybody else learning this style also?

Excellent vintage Wu footage.
Rare to see practice with such skillfull martial intent. Astounding. A true reference film.
Beautiful and graceful

Not sure why my comments floated up to the top since I was replying to individuals, but one was meant for Loyaute and the other for JasonK2210.
Note that the Wu Family do not seem to teach this form, so it is likely to be an older form.
joli style aussi le Wu. Même origine et maître ;)

Cool. The video - Early Wu style Taijiquan (1937) - is easier to see and I think this is what I'm learning

This is the most complete video I've found of the specific taichi form I am currently studying... It's... so... grainy!
Does anybody know where else on youtube can I find this style of Wu? All the other Wu styles I find are different,but this is the one I am learning now. And is there anybody else learning this style also?

Patrick Foley from Clearwater Tai chi -
It seems to be complete!There are no missing postures.
That's how it looks to me - she just briefly starts cloud hands early at the first transition before correcting it, but it works.
It is Great Tai Chi at its Essence, period
