Topic: Sun Lutang


  
  Sun style T'ai Chi Ch'uan - Wikipedia
Sun style (孫氏) T'ai Chi Ch'üan was developed by Sun Lu-t'ang (孫祿堂, 1861-1932), who was considered expert in two other internal martial arts styles: Hsing-i Ch'uan (Xingyiquan) and Pa Kua Chang (Baguazhang) before he came to study T'ai Chi.
Sun started studying with Hao relatively late in his life, but his accomplishments in the other two internal arts led him to develop his T'ai Chi abilities to a high standard more quickly than is usual.
Sun taught there alongside the Yang brothers and Wu Chien-ch'uan until 1928, a seminal period in the development of modern Yang, Wu and Sun T'ai Chi Ch'üan.

Sun taiji is the youngest of the current four taiji quan schools, and perhaps the most radical.
Sun Lutang considered his newly created art a form of taiji-instead of xingyi or bagua-since the overall use of qi flow is firmly rooted in taiji.
Sun had some previous training in the external martial arts of shaolin, baji quan and hong quan, but surrounding circumstances were such that he could not continue his training.

Sun Lutang (1861-1933) was one of the most noted masters of the internal martial arts during the last century.
Sun Xingyi, the eldest, died of illness in 1929; Sun Huanmin, the youngest, died in a gymnastics accident in 1922.
Sun Lutang was a staunch advocate of the health benefits of Tai Chi, more so than the self-defense aspect, despite the fact that he was himself an accomplished fighter.

Sun often told his disciples and children that a real wushu master had "a virtuous tongue and virtuous hands", which means that he would neither speak evil of others behind their back nor hurt any one except when he is forced to counterattack a malicious person in self defence.
Sun lay down on the ground and asked one of them to hold his head, four to hold his limbs and one just to stand by and count one, two, three.
Sun served as director of the Wudang School Department of the Central Wushu Academy in Nanjing and headmaster of Jiangsu Wushu Academy in Zhenjiang.

Sun Style Taijiquan was originally called opening-closing nimble-step Taijiquan (Kai He Huobu Taijiquan) and was a development of Hao Style Taijiquan which in turn was developed mainly from Yang and Chen Styles.
Sun Lutang is reputed to have improved the effectiveness of the techniques by introducing elements derived from his knowledge of the other Neijia arts that he had mastered but at the same time adhering purely to Taijiquan principles.

Grandmaster Sun was considered by his peers to be one of the pre-eminent martial arts masters of his time.

 Tim's Shen Wu Discussion Board: Sun Lutang's "A Study of Taijiquan"
For those interested in Sun Lutang's method of taijiquan, or taijiquan generally, I highly recommend Tim Cartmell's translation of Sun's "A Study of Taijiquan." It's one of the clearest English translations from the Chinese I've ever encountered in martial arts (and I've seen a lot).
The explanation of the form is fairly complete, and benefits from the fact that Tim studied with Sun's daughter, the late Sun Jian Yun, and teaches Sun taijiquan.

At present day Sun Lutang form and Fu Zhensong forms of Taiji, with Liangyi and Taiji Shandian Zhang too, form a perfect context to Bagua and Xingyi learning and are the bulk of our Wudang school.

Sun was quite impressed with Cheng Tinghua's Baguazhang skills and stayed in Beijing for a number of years to study with him, even though most of his training from Cheng was limited to walking the circle and standing postures.
Sun Lutang offered to fight for Cheng, despite his limited Baguazhang training because Cheng had "nothing to lose" at that point.
In fact, it was Cheng who gave Sun his given name of Lutang (he had been previously called Sun Fuquan) and encouraged him to travel to Sichuan Province to better understand the theory of the Yijing (I-Ching).
