EVOLUTION

Xiaoyao System is evolutionary

The Xiaoyao Tai Chi System (逍遙太極系統) is in a continuous evolutionary process promoted by Shifu Stephen Tang (逍遙山人). It was started with the traditional Yang style and Chen style as a foundation.  Then it absorbed and continues to absorb the essence of two celebrated Taijiquan systems, namely, the Hun-Yuan Chen style (陳式心意混元太極拳) and the Water-Nature Wang style (王氏水性太極拳).  These two Taijiquan styles are innovatively created, respectively, by two legendary grandmasters: Feng Zhiqiang (馮志強宗師, 1928 - 2012) and Wang Zhuanghong (王壯弘宗師, 1931 - 2008).  By viewing their iconic videos, you could feel their uniqueness and specialty. Then you could see how these two systems influence and polish the traditional Taijiquan as demonstrated in Shifu Tang’s videos in a 10-year span. Information and resources about these two grandmasters as well as their martial arts are widely available on the internet.
