The cultivation of Shen, Yi, and Qi is not limited to one single curriculum or lineage and is and will always be the most important part of Taijiquan for me. Having said that Just as in Wing Chun, my journey in Taijiquan has always been one of deep research, practice, and respect for multiple traditions.

After studying the Huang Sheng Shyan Taijiquan& Fujian White Crane hybrid system, I delved deeply into the Tian Zhaolin lineage in Shanghai. I eventually received the certificate of completion of the entire unarmed Tian Zhaolin lineage directly from Tian Zhaolin’s grandson, Tian Bing Yuan.

My next goal was to go deeper into the teachings connected to Yang Shao Hou, and especially Yang Ban Hou, since the Yang Jian Hou material was already extensively preserved within the Tian family curriculum.

This path let me to a 10 years study with Sifu Tam Maan Yin and eventually led me to Guiyang, where I began studying the Gu Lisheng lineage. Even after the passing of Sifu Qi Qisheng, I continue these studies in a lighter way online with some of his senior students.

Decades ago, one of my Taijiquan colleagues in Amsterdam, Sifu Henny Eleonora, once told me:

“Wu style is Old Style Yang.”

Those words stayed with me.

After researching the Hong Kong, Beijing, and Shanghai Wu lineages, it became very clear to me which path I needed to follow.

Now over the last years organizing several events at the Eternal Spring Institute with Sifu Zhou Zhong Fu and after receiving private lessons to deeply explore the Wu curriculum in Shanghai, Istanbul, and Madeira, it has become clear to me that none of this was coincidence. Everything happened exactly as it was supposed to.

The systematic Wu Taijiquan curriculum of Ma Yueh Liang preserves an incredible amount of Old Yang Style material in a profoundly complete way. Had I not studied the Tian Zhaolin curriculum so deeply beforehand, I would never have fully appreciated what was preserved within it.

Even the ancient 7 stepping methods used in 13 unique Tui Shou cycles are preserved in Such a detailed Indepth way. Two of those stepping methods I had learned before but were missing some important details regarding close body kicks and sweeps.

九宮步 (Jiǔ Gōng Bù) — “Nine Palace Step,” based on the traditional nine-grid directional pattern.

七星步 (Qī Xīng Bù) — “Seven Star Step,” a compact guarding stepping method connected to seven-point alignment.
It’s wonderful that because of the detailed transmission it’s all still so well preserved within the Shanghai branch of the Ma Yueh Liang Wu Taijiquan curriculum.

All of the unique stepping patterns of old Yang Taijiquan remain preserved there in their entirety and I will do my utmost best to help preserve the complete curriculum through the efforts of the Eternal Spring institute.

Combined with the correct internal development, makes the Shanghai branch of Ma Yueh Liang Wu Taijiquan the Taijiquan curriculum of choice for the Eternal Spring Institute.

The deeper I go into the curriculum of these arts, the more I understand that true knowledge comes from keeping an open mind, respecting the past, and never limiting oneself to a single perspective.

Courage, peace, and love to all.

“Everyone sees the world through the lens of their own experience and training.
People can only recognize what they have experienced themselves.”

The way we judge, understand, and react to life is deeply shaped by what we’ve lived through. Two people can witness the exact same moment and walk away with completely different meanings.

Experience creates perception. Training creates interpretation.

Sometimes what another person cannot see is not because it isn’t real but because they’ve never encountered it, studied it, or lived it deeply enough to recognize it.

This video shows how perception, experience, and personal development shape the way we understand the world and why true understanding of Internal Wing Chun requires more than just looking.
