As a practitioner of Yang style tai ji I have had only a passing interest in other arts - with such a limited intellect as mine I must concentrate on one thing at a time!
This year I deconstructed my 108 Yang hand form and reconstructed it with the help of Dr Yang, Jwing-Ming and his excellent DVD into a more martially oriented shape. It was a fascinating process that has taught me a lot about myself and what I did and did not really understand. It is also, I believe, not a process that could be undertaken without a reasonably solid foundation to work from, so I wouldn't recommend new players try this.
Anyway, there is a local guy who, apparently, has 30+ years of nei gong/tai ji practice and who teaches Yang and Sun style, and this has got me thinking. Do many people train in two or more different styles/arts, and if so are certain arts considered a better fit together than others?
I also picked up Dr Yang's book on baguazhang, which is fascinating and tempting!
Over to you, my learned brethren!
