Sun-style tai chi

Okay.

So as you introduced to the audience, I am a licensed acupuncturist, doctor of East Asian medicine, and a practitioner of mindful meditation, sun tai chi.

Qigong.

These are my passions.

So it's already 30 years that they've had those type of combination but prior to that it was not a it was a pretty grim outlook you know 18 months life expectancy

where you both come from strong tai chi lineages so talk about how lineage shapes the way that you both practice and teach

yeah so uh Main lineage is Sun Tai Chi, is one of the five families of Tai Chi.

The most ancient one is the Chen style of Tai Chi that comes from the Chen village in China.

So enter the Wu House style, but still very powerful.

Then you have another major one is Sun Style or Sun Style, S-U-N.

And that was developed by a guy named, I think his name was Sun, Sun, Sun Lutang, and incorporates influence from other martial arts.

I remember somebody doing a demo, showing a demo how it tied into martial arts.

Like kung fu practice.

Of course, a lot of these tie into kung fu practice, but very specific Chinese martial arts.

And Sun style is known for agile footwork, relatively upright postures and smooth transitions.

But it's stepping methods in general can make it an interesting option for people who prefer a more mobile, upright approach.
