This is a private webpage meant for students of Shaolin Wahnam Institute. Those who have not learnt Wahnam Taijiquan may not be able to follow the illustrations given bere as this webpage is not meant for self-learning, but is meant to remind initiated students what they have learnt.
Taijiquan, which was initially known as Wudang Kungfu, was evolved by Zhang Zan Feng from Shaolin Kungfu in the 13th century.
There are many styles of Taijiquan, and the style practiced in our school, Shaolin Wahnam, is naturally called Wahnam Taijiquan.
It has characterisitics common to all styles of Taijiquan, such as emphasis on energy flow and internal force, and not on body mechanics or physical strength. Its performance is graceful and elegant, and in its combat application it makes use of circular movements and exploits the opponent's force against himself.
This Wahnam Taijiquan Set illustrated below is demonstrated by Dr Lie Kai Ie of Toronto, Canada.
