Free Wu Style Tai Chi Videos

Nine Wu Style films, free to watch and requiring no sign-up. They run from Grand Master Eddie Wu's public demonstration and his teaching of the 108-form to the traditional standard form broken into sections you can take at your own pace.

A video is a supplement to class, never a substitute for a teacher's correction in person. Alignment, weight, and the listening of pushing hands can only be confirmed through contact. What film can fix is narrower: forgetting the sequence, missing a detail, and having no practice rhythm of your own. The nine clips below fall into three groups by purpose — the master's demonstration, the 108-form taught and performed, and the standard form in sections.

The Video Library

The Master Demonstrates the 108-Form

Three films with Grand Master Eddie Wu on camera. Watch the shortest demonstration first for the overall feel, check it posture by posture against the teaching clip, then watch the full form once.

Demonstration

Grand Master Eddie Wu: 2013 Wushu Federation 25th Anniversary Demonstration

A public demonstration by Grand Master Eddie Wu at the 25th anniversary of the wushu federation, four minutes and twenty-nine seconds long. It is the shortest clip in this library and the easiest entry point: a formal occasion, with the shape and pacing of the movements clearly presented.

Teaching

Grand Master Eddie Wu Teaching the 108-Form in Detail

Grand Master Eddie Wu breaks the Wu family 108-form down posture by posture across sixteen minutes. The chaptering is clear enough to follow alongside our list of the 108 postures, which makes it a useful companion for beginner-class revision.

Full form

The 108-Form Performed in Full, with Subtitles

The complete 108-form performed without interruption, fifteen minutes and forty-four seconds, with Chinese subtitles naming each posture. It pairs naturally with the teaching clip above: watch the whole first, then return to the breakdown, so the sequence and rhythm are never fragmented.

Foundations

Basic Gentle Skills and Pushing Hands

The loosening work, the basic stepping, and the four-square round pushing hands are the first homework of the beginner class. Contact point and timing are things film shows far better than text.

DVD 1: Basic Gentle Skills and Pushing Hands

The first disc of the series covers the basic skills and pushing hands, fifty-eight minutes and thirty-three seconds. It corresponds to the beginner class at our Academy: the loosening work, the basic stepping, and the four-square round pushing hands. The pushing-hands section is more unhurried than a class, which makes it worth returning to for the point of contact and the timing of listening energy.

Where to start

  1. 1 Begin with the 2013 demonstration: four minutes to see the full rhythm of a run.
  2. 2 Take the teaching clip against the list of 108 postures, and match each name to the shape.
  3. 3 Pick one standard-form section to match your class and work at one a week; that beats a run-through every time.
  4. 4 Check Levels and Standards for the stage you should be training at.

The Traditional Standard Form

The 108-Form in Sections A to E

A long form is only trainable in sections. Join all five and you have one complete 108-form; each runs about an hour, which suits a student refining one section a week.

The 108 Standard Form, Section A

Section A of the 108 traditional standard form, fifty-five minutes and forty-two seconds. Sectioning is what makes a long form trainable: split it into digestible units and refine one at a time, rather than running from the opening posture to the end on every pass.

The 108 Standard Form, Section B

Section B of the 108 traditional standard form, fifty-two minutes and seven seconds. Students most often stall at the joins between sections, so compare the closing movements of Section A with the opening of Section B.

The 108 Standard Form, Section C

Section C of the 108 traditional standard form, fifty-seven minutes and fifty-four seconds, the longest section in the series. The turns and changes of direction grow denser here, so watch especially for the transfer of weight and where the heel lands.

The 108 Standard Form, Section D

Section D of the 108 traditional standard form, fifty-five minutes and twenty-six seconds. The releasing movements cluster in this section, which makes it a useful visual companion to the basic fa-jin work taught in the intermediate class.

The 108 Standard Form, Section E and Closing

Section E and the closing of the 108 traditional standard form, fifty-seven minutes and eleven seconds: the end of the series. The closing is not merely the cessation of movement but the step that gathers the breath of the whole run back to the lower abdomen, a part beginners often hurry through and worth watching on its own.

After all five

Being able to follow the sequence is not the same as doing it correctly. Alignment, weight, and breath still need a teacher's correction in class.
