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.
