# Yang style

**杨式太极拳**

The most widely practised style in the world, known for its expansive, continuous and accessible movements.

**Yang** style (杨式太极拳) is the most widely practised Tai Ji style. Its movements are expansive and require a certain degree of flexibility. The resulting aesthetic has undoubtedly contributed to its success. Sensations and the circulation of energy emerge through regular practice, although accumulation may take longer.

Yang Tai Ji includes many weapons, such as sword, sabre and fan, bringing variety to teaching. Master Jung learned this rich tradition from Master Fu Zhong Wen, successor to **Yang Cheng Fu**. **Yang Luchan** (1800-1873) is considered the founder of this form.

He learned Tai Ji Quan in **Chen**jiagou with **Chen Changxing**, then returned to Yongnian in Hebei to teach the Yang form. Yang Luchan adapted the Chen form to make it accessible to more people. His son **Yang Jianhou** and grandson **Yang Chengfu** continued to develop an easier form.

Explosive power, jumps, forceful stepping and difficult movements were reduced or removed, while postures became relaxed, simple and upright. This explains the form's lasting popularity.
