liangyi & other internal styles

The Liangyi system (Tai Yi, Tai He, Baxian systems and XuanWu Qian) that emphasises the separation of yin and yang and dualities such as hard and soft; fast and slow, withdraw and attack. While Tai Ji is generally performed at the same speed throughout, Liangyi is characterised by soft, slow movements suddenly punctuated fast and powerful explosive movements. Internal power is generated and then explosively expressed. Most of the Wudang weapons systems, including its famous sword-work, are Tai Yi systems.

At Daoshu we study both empty hand forms and weapons such as sword, staff, fan and fuchen (horsetail whisk) practice. Liangyi forms are studied in both Taiji and Gong Fu classes.
