Pencil drawings by Matthias Wagner, Baden-Baden, Germany, based on photos of Great Grandmaster Yang Chengfu, published 1934 in his book 太極拳體用全書.
Louis Swaim, leading specialist on taijiquan and translator of the english edition "The Essence And Application of Taijiquan", sais: "Your photo-based illustrations are beautiful. You did a fantastic job of capturing the light and shadow, disclosing detail in Yang Chengfu's postures and expressions. As you can imagine, over the years I have studied the old photos very carefully, so I can appreciate your exquisite eye for important detail that one had to strain to notice in the photos.
This is a very good video rendition of pencil drawings of Yang Chengfu, set in the sequence of the Yang Style 108. Notice how the reverent master is solidly rooted and comfortably stretched in his posture. Study this video for your learning, and compare it with videos of other
T'ai Chi practitioners.
