video
Yang Jianhou was the third son of Yang Lu Chan, founder of Yang taijiquan. He revised his father's "old frame" form into the "medium frame" or Zhong Jia. This 85 movement form retains many of the internal circles and power issuing that was removed in the large frame revision of his son Yang Cheng Fu. Master Yu's Grandmaster Tian Zhaolin studied directly with both Yang Shaohou and his father Yang Jianhou. This is a very accurate iteration of this rare branch of Yang taijiquan.Volume 55 begins with the entire form demonstrated at normal practice speed. Additionally sections one and two are demonstrated at the beginning and end of their respective form repetition sections. Section one form repetition is broken down into four movement groupings and section two is divided into nine.
