Applications of ChuJi Quan and Push Hands
from Tian Shan Pai 天山派
Sunday, April 17, 2016
Presented by GrandMaster Willy Lin
ChuJi Quan is also known as Primary Fist or
24 Beat. Although it is the beginner form of Tian Shan Pai, it is
not a simple form. To be complete, the Chinese believe a martial art
must contain elements of Da, Ti, Shuai, and Na (hitting, kicking,
throwing and grappling/locking). Primary Fist expresses all of these
elements in both simple and sophisticated ways. Join us as
Grandmaster Lin takes us through many of the applications of this
important form.
Tian Shan Pai also incorporates elements of tai chi. The
sensitivity, balance and body structure developed by tai chi push
hands training are important for developing good gong fu.
Join us for an afternoon of training with Grandmaster Lin, one of
the most pre-eminent martial artists of our time. In 1957, he became
a student of Wang Jyue Jen, the person who brought Tian Shan Pai
Kung Fu from China to Taiwan. In 1962, he was invited to receive
special training and afterwards became a disciple of Wang Jyue Jen.
For the next 6 years, he served as the head instructor of the school
in Taiwan. In 1971, Grandmaster Lin opened his first school in the
USA. He brought Tian Shan Pai from Taiwan to the USA just as his
teacher had brought it from China to Taiwan.
