Form List: Wu
Competition Form alternative
Mark's note: I have included this list as
it differs from the 54-move competition form from the International
Wu Style Tai Chi Federation and therefore is of interest.
The entire content has been lifted from James
Marshall's webpages, who in turn has copied his lists from other
sources. These sources are quoted in italics first, and then his
notes are included as they may be of interest.
Copied from Competition Routines for Four Styles Taijiquan,
translated by Xie Shoude, published by People's Sports Publishing
House.
This form is primarily based on forms created by Wu Jianquan while
incorporating strong points from the exercises developed by Wang
Maozhai and other well known exponents. A characteristic is well-knit,
lithe movements.
