HISTORICAL CONTEXT
Wu Style Taijiquan, specifically the Hao Jia (Hao Family) branch, is one of the five major traditional Taiji lineages. Founded by Wu Yuxiang, who synthesized the essence of Chen and Yang styles into a unique system, it was later refined and propagated by the Hao family. Master Fang Shan, a 6th-generation student of this lineage and a 7th Duan Wushu master, presents the 108-form routine in this definitive instructional DVD. Historically, Wu Style is known for its scholarly and refined approach, focusing on the internal mechanics of the mind and breath rather than external display. This style formed a unique school that is distinct from the Lao Jia of Chen or the Da Jia of Yang, emphasizing compact elegance and profound internal work.
TECHNICAL PHILOSOPHY
The technical philosophy of Wu (Hao Jia) Taijiquan is defined by its Tight Gestures and Stretching, Slow Movements. The routine is characterized by a strict adherence to footwork and a clear distinction between Solid and Empty (Xu Shi). A central concept is the use of Internal Switches and Internal Breath Rotation (Nei Qi Qian Zhuan) to govern the external form. The practitioner is taught to maintain a state of Middle Equilibrium (Zhong Zheng) throughout all rotations, ensuring that the body advances and withdraws as a single, unified unit. The philosophy is one of cultivating the mind and life potential, leading to health, longevity, and an elegant martial presence.
BIOMECHANICAL ANALYSIS
Biomechanically, the 108-form routine is a masterclass in structural alignment and kinetic efficiency. Master Fang Shan demonstrates how the internal rotation of the core drives the movement of the limbs, ensuring that no force is wasted. The 'Tight Gestures' serve to protect the center while the 'Slow Movements' allow for the meticulous monitoring of internal pressure and skeletal alignment. The strict footwork requirements develop exceptional balance and lower-body strength, while the focus on the solid-empty transition enhances the body's ability to redirect external force. This neigong-based approach ensures that the practitioner's life potential is upgraded through refined neurological coordination and fascial elasticity.
PRACTICE AND APPLICATION
Across this 99-minute instructional, Master Fang Shan provides a comprehensive breakdown of the 108 Forms. He explains the tactical intent of the movements, showing how the internal switches translate into effective combat applications. The training is designed to be both a martial discipline and a therapeutic practice, capable of curing illnesses and strengthening the body. Regular practice of this traditional routine fosters a graceful and elegant demeanor while building a robust internal foundation. This DVD is an essential resource for serious Taijiquan practitioners who wish to explore the deep internal secrets of the Wu (Hao Jia) lineage under the guidance of a high-level master.

Master Fang Shan
Master Fang Shan is a highly venerated traditional Chinese martial arts grandmaster and a definitive 6th Generation Lineage Authority of Wu-Hao (Hao) Style Taijiquan. Originating from the pristine legacy of Grandmaster Hao Weizhen, Master Fang Shan has dedicated decades to researching, preserving, and systematically documenting this historically elite, highly sophisticated internal martial art—transforming obscure internal energetic concepts into crystalline, practical training assets for a global audience.
Martial Arts Background: The Wu-Hao / Hao Style Taijiquan System
Wu-Hao Style Taijiquan is universally distinguished in the martial arts world by its compact frameworks, deceptively subtle movements, profound internal Qi运化, and lightning-fast explosive combat efficiency. Unlike modern simplified variants meant for long-range theatrical performance, the authentic Hao style utilizes localized spinal wringing and intense internal core compression. It trains a practitioner to seamlessly redirect an opponent's kinetic mass and instantly unleash a devastating short-range whiplash shock-force (Fa Li) at the exact moment of contact.
