Five Immortals
Story by Shifu Hwang

Five Immortals Once upon a time, there was a beautiful country village located at the foothills of Huang Mountain. Four boys and one girl grew-up there. They were friends since childhood and saw each other every day in the village. One day the girl, who had grown into a woman, became sick and seemed to be running out of chances to recover her health. The four men wept deeply for their dear friend. A Taoist passed by, heard their lamenting and asked for the reason.

The Taoist simply handed them a prescription which included several herbs such as: ahryranthis bidentatae radix, morindae radix, polygoni multiflori radix, polygalae radix, rehmanniae radix, cuscutae semen, etc. The woman took the Taoist's herbal formula and recovered fully. The five of them decided that "this man must be an immortal".

Together, they left their village and found the Taoist, who agreed to teach them. They studied immortality from their teacher for many years. Today, all of the villagers still use this herbal formula and claim that it came from 'the Five Immortals.'

Chang Style Tai Chi Chuan
by Shifu Hwang

The Yang family of Yong Lien contributed a great deal in making Tai Chi Chuan a prevailing exercise during the Chin Dynasty.

As the emperors themselves were in charge of the morning court, it was customary for all ministers to wait in front of court for the emperors arrival. The time spent waiting for the emperors was boring and considered a waste. Therefore, some of the ministers started to practice Tai Chi, while others started to practice Kung Fu. Their aims were to help the body achieve good circulation without sweating too much. Tai Chi seemed to be the better choice of the two for this effect. Tai Chi was thus accepted in Chin Dynasty upper society.

Old Yang Style Tai Chi form has 108 postures and takes 12 to 15 minutes to complete. However, there were many people too busy in society, and they did not have the time to practice the entire form. About 30 years ago, the Beijing Government started to develop an abridged Tai Chi Chuan. The abridged form, also called Tai Chi Short Form, contained only 24 of the original postures 108 postures. It takes about 3 or 5 minutes to complete. The short form still provides great benefit to those who wish to exercise, but lack the time.

When most people talk about Tai Chi, they are referring to Yang Style Tai Chi. About 95% of Tai Chi practitioners do Yang Style. Most of the students who practiced Yang Style, have done so for a long period of time, and strictly for the health benefits. As a result, the fighting techniques in Tai Chi have became lost to the world.

Grand Master Chang Tung-seng traveled the entire world during his life time. Yet, he said that he never saw people using Tai Chi for fighting. One time, when Grand Master Chang was in Nanking, he heard there was a Tai Chi master there. Grand Master Chang went to his school to test him. However, this master fought using Shaolin Kung Fu. Chang asked him, "Why didn't you use your Tai Chi techniques?" The master replied, "When I fight, I use Shaolin."

It is very difficult to use Tai Chi for self-defense. Even when Chen Style Tai Chi practitioners fight they use Cannon Fist instead of their Chen family Tai Chi.

So, Grand Master Chang used the Yang Style form for the basis of his style, changing the footstep angles and hand movements. As a result, the Chang Style Tai Chi form can serve as both a health medium and, if enough time is devoted to learn it, a self-defense training tool.
