HISTORICAL CONTEXT
The Thirteen-Pole (Shisan Gan) is a cornerstone of the Wu Style Taijiquan weapon curriculum. Developed within the scholarly lineage of Wu Yuxiang; the pole routines are designed to cultivate deep internal power (Nei Jin) and structural integrity. Master Sun Jianguo; a lineage expert; presents Routine One with a focus on historical accuracy and martial efficiency. This technical routine is a vital part of the 19th-century martial traditions of Hebei province; where the Wu family refined Taijiquan into a system of high scholarly and martial depth. The pole acts as a powerful tool for testing and developing a practitioner's internal alignment.
TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
The Wu Style Thirteen-Pole is characterized by its compact frame and its emphasis on 'Adhere and Follow' (Zhan Nian Lian Sui). Routine One focuses on the foundational strikes; parries; and thrusts that utilize the practitioner's internal structure. Sun Jianguo demonstrates how to express explosive power (Fa-Jin) through the long pole while maintaining the fluid; continuous movement of Taiji. The routine is a perfect example of the 'Middle Stroke Frame;' where every movement is tight; simple; and martially effective. The length of the pole amplifies any structural flaws; making it an excellent diagnostic tool for internal practice.
BIOMECHANICAL PRINCIPLES
Biometrically; pole practice in Wu Style is a study in 'Centrally Balanced' movement and 'Body-Pole Integration.' The length and weight of the pole require the practitioner to have a strong foundation and a stable 'Vertical Axis.' Sun Jianguo explains how to use the 'Dantian' to drive the movements of the pole; ensuring that the power comes from the entire body rather than just the arms. The biomechanics of the 'Three External Coordinations' are essential here; as the practitioner must coordinate the movement of the pole with the footwork and the rotation of the waist to maintain balance and power.
LINEAGE PRESERVATION
This instructional DVD is an essential resource for students of the Wu Style and traditional Chinese Wushu. Sun Jianguo’s teaching is clear and academically rigorous; providing deep insights into the 'Yi' (intent) behind the pole techniques. By documenting Thirteen-Pole Routine One; this collection ensures that the sophisticated martial theories of Wu Yuxiang are preserved. It is an indispensable guide for any practitioner seeking to understand the unique combination of internal power and long weapon expertise that defines the Wu Style.
