Master Yang Jun’s 2010 Visit to Mexico City’s Yang Chengfu Tai Chi Chuan Center.
Yang Chengfu, 3rd generation descendant of the Yang Family, creator of the Tai Chi Chuan as we know it today, played a very important role in history by modifying the original style to further exploit the health-improving properties of this practice. It is for this reason that the Yang Family agreed to name all of their Tai Chi Chuan centers after Yang Chengfu. Mexico City’s Yang Chengfu Tai Chi Chuan Center has become one of the thirty-five centers around the world that represent the true Yang Family Tai Chi Chuan. And every year Master Yang Jun, 6th generation descendant of the Yang family comes to Mexico for a couple of days to share a nice time with the students.
This time, on the 18 of March, 2010, the students of the Yang Chengfu Tai Chi Chuan Center Mexico and the Mexico Shaolin Temple welcomed master Yang Jun with an exhibition where they demonstrated Shaolin Kung Fu exercises and Yang Family Tai Chi Chuan.
The exhibition lasted about 35 minutes, after which master Yang Jun surprised the audience with an exhibition of his own. “I liked the exhibition so much that now I want to show you something of my own,” he said, and then he demonstrated the 49 Movement hand form, in which he showed the burst of energy in Tai Chi Chuan.
“We have no knowledge, in the eight years we have known Master Yang Jun, of him giving any such exhibition for anyone before,” said master Daniel Corona, director of the Mexico Yang Chengfu Center, “and for this reason I feel very grateful with master Yang Jun for this fantastic opportunity.”
Finally, members of the Mexico Shaolin Temple invited Master Yang to the Temple’s restaurant to have a meal in his honor, where Yang Tai Chi students in Mexico shared a nice evening with him, asking him questions about Tai Chi and talking.
