Video of aikido techniques against full resistance

[Xue Sheng91]

I have learned Taiji from 3 different teachers.

1. A Buddhism monk when I was 11 (Yang Taiji).
2. A Taiji lady when I was in college (CMC Taiji).
3. From my SC teacher when he lived in my house (Chang Taiji).

1 and 2 were "for health only". 3 is both for health and combat.

Chang Tung Sheng (1908–1986) was a prominent Hui martial artist known for his unique style of Tai Chi, which integrated techniques from various martial arts, including Shuai Chiao and Yang-style Tai Chi.

Development of Chang Style Tai Chi​

Chang Tung Sheng's martial arts journey included significant interactions with other martial artists, notably General Li Chien, a Yang-style Tai Chi master. Their exchanges led to the development of Chang-style Tai Chi, which is characterized by its practical applications and combat effectiveness. This style incorporates elements from Shuai Chiao, Hsing Yi, and Pa Kua, making it unique among Tai Chi forms.

Who did General Li Chien learn from? And who was he a general for?

A Buddhism monk when you were 11 (Yang Taiji), OK was it traditional YAng or the alleged Yang (24 form) Who taught the Buddhist monk

A Taiji lady when I was in college (CMC Taiji), ok, who taught her. (I am not a fan of CMC by the way, it depends on who is teaching it, where they learned, and what their focus is)

And you really don't want my honest critique of your form.... let just say I don't like it and end it there

General Li Jinglin was a so called warlord of that there were many at his time, he commanded his own army.

His Yang-Taiji came from Yang Jianhou from whom he learned directly from. Li Jinglin was especially famous for his wudang-sword skill and went under nickname -sword saint(or something as that), he was a leading figure in establishing the Nanjing national martial arts academy.
Despite his sword fencing fame he quite decisively lost a sparring duel with Yang Chengfu at that academy, probably whereby Li came to hold a dislike toward YCF
