Second set
Fair Lady Works the Shuttles
- first level, feet only
- second level, fixed arms
- third level, continuous arms
- fourth level, using weight shift and rotation to position lower arm
Dong family set:
The Dong family, based in Hawaii, is thought to be in the lineage of our set, so it's much easier to recognize the moves than most Yang-style tai chi videos available on the internet. Note the moves still adhere to 90° rotations and 70/30 weight distribution, implying that the mantis influence of 45° rotations and 50/50 weight distribution of iron palm were introduced later in our lineage.
Yang Zhenduo:
Moves are also recognizable, with same qualifications as for Dong family set. The execution of the moves is super slow; I watched them at twice the normal speed and still got a little impatient.
Lee Ying-arng's (no relation) modified set:
- first set followed by a modified version of the remainder of the set, applications of some moves, and iron palm training and applications
- more iron palm applications
Similar qualifications about set as above. You'll notice more of a 50/50 stance during the iron palm applications.
