We are continuing to add audio tracks to the videos in our Video Vault. The following video is the Editors Choice of bunch. It combines the energetic martial arts movements of Kung Fu with the beautiful flowing brandishing of the fan. As such it embodies the dual concepts of Kung Fu as a martial art and as an art form. This form is performed with a plastic and silk fan, although regulation Kung Fu fans are weapons made with metal blades and sharp points on the spines.

We have been busy adding audio tracks to the videos in our Video Vault. The first one we’d like to share with you is the Tai Chi Yang/Chen 12 Form. Developed by Grandmaster Yong So himself, this form aims to mitigate some of the challenges that Tai Chi presents to students with physical limitations, such as arthritis. This short form eschews some of the most demanding forms, such as Heel Kick and Snake Creeps Down in favor of forms that require skill and balance, but not exceptional flexibility. The biggest challenge to overcome in this form is that it changes direction twice (front to rear to front) during the performance. Both front and rear views of this performance are included in the following video.
