Well like I said, when a new style was created! Yang Lu Chan, Wu Jian Quan, Chen Fa Ke, Sun Lu Tang, Wu Yuxiang.. All the people who master tai chi tend to create their own new style. I wonder why that is, though?

Did Chen FaKe create a new style ?

Open/close can be considered as "open your opponent's door and enter".

Today when I walked on the beach, I was thinking about this. What if someone just trains 1 combo in his entire life. If someone can master this "punch/grab/pull (open)-> choke (close)", he can end almost any fight with it.
