Whether you are new to Tai Chi or experienced in other styles, the ChÕang style is a good one to learn.\u003cbr\u003e\nChÕang Tai Chi is not so much a new style but rather a modification of the Yang style. The difference between the two is that the modifications within the ChÕang style make it more suitable for combat. Grand Master ChÕang Tung Sheng was ChinaÕs heavyweight champion of Shuai Chiao (wrestling) and was a very combat-oriented teacher. Throughout his entire life he was never defeated and this was due to his extensive knowledge of Kung Fu. After seeing the famous Li Ching-lin, a peerless swordsman and expert boxer, perform Yang style Tai Chi, ChÕang realized that incorporating Shuai Chiao techniques into it would greatly enhance its defensive capabilities.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksWholesale","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43719514587297,"sku":"hhard2216","price":57.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/1rg68wd8-front-shortedge-384_77ef2a2a-803d-4a5d-b648-598546620cc3.jpg?v=1714508464","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/chang-shih-tai-chi-chuan","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
