Sifu Xianhao Cheng on Yang Small Frame: “Small frame is significantly different from long form. The long form focus on stretching tendon and bone as well as stance training. Therefore, it is loose, slow, and clearly differentiates on yin/yang separation. Small frame is high and fast. When I was learning, it only took about 4 min. for the postures as much as long form. The step is agitative with high posture. You can find its shadow when you see the Wu form.”
The Yang Luchan/Yang Banhou form that went to Wu Quanyou to his son Wu Jianquan in Beijing for military purposes per son-in-law Ma Yueh Liang. Master Ma taught this form in Shanghai. Dr. Li Liqun was a disciple of Ma Yueh Liang.
Needs some minor corrections, but this form I started learning in Shanghai 1996 under Dr. Li Liqun and Dr. Jonathan Shear of Richmond Virginia VCU professor and TM teacher. Mostly how I remember it.
Best if 3 to 4 minutes, or alternate fast and slow.
