CHANG Family Style BOXING

Demonstrator/Teacher: Liu Yi Ming.
This form of Kung Fu is said to have been created by Chang Nai Chou who learned from Rang Dao of Sz Chuan. It is an unusual Long Fist with flowing but seemingly awkward movements at times (not at all a bad sign by itself). It definitely stresses a harmony between internal and external with many movements similar to Tai Chi. Sets are intricate, fluid and changeable. Movements are loose, long and soft. A little bit magical. Professor Doug Wiley has brought forth evidence that Chang's work may have been seminal to the creation or evolution of Chen Tai Chi. See our info box on the subject of Chang Family Boxing. Also see our newest book translating the writings of this famous Scholar Boxer.
