Theoretical Core & Structural Mastery
理论核心与结构精要

“Seeking a balanced state of harmony through disciplined practice.”

The Four Essentials of Martial Arts / 武术四要论

Based on the theoretical foundations laid by Wu Yuxiang, Qiao Songmao expanded the traditional goals of Tai Chi—”overcoming all adversaries” and “promoting longevity”—to emphasize “self- cultivation” and “seeking a balanced state of harmony” (for detailed discussion, see his book Yield and Adapt).

乔松茂在精诚研习武禹襄的理论基础上,把太极拳的“英雄所向无敌”“益寿 延年”进一步发展为“修身”和“寻求和谐的平衡点”(注:详见《随曲就伸》一书)。

Structural Signature /
拳架结构特点

Qiao-Style Tai Chi stands apart from conventional styles in its structure. Its signature features include the distinctive “Five-Flower Palm,” the practice of straightening the rear leg naturally at the end of each posture, and a slight backward lean that ensures correct internal alignment and balanced energy flow.c

乔氏太极拳在拳架上不流于俗套,其典型的“五花掌”、及每式定势的后腿自然伸 直、与微微后仰的讲究内劲、内气中正的身法。

Internal Mastery /
内功与技击

This creates a style marked by clear distinction between movement and stillness, a stable stance in every step, and a armonious blend of hardness and softness. Internal energy takes precedence over external form, and lower-body movement guides the upper body.

形成了动静分明、一步一桩、刚柔相济的拳式,使内动 大于外动、下动大于上动得以充分发挥。

The “Thirteen Forms” Philosophy / 十三式哲学

This routine, created by Mr. Qiao Songmao as a classic teaching system for promoting Tai Chi, combines authority with ease of learning. It fully preserves the core principles and energy pathways of Wu Yuxiang style (Qiao style) Tai Chi Chuan, namely “rigorous body movements and abundant internal strength.”

CLASSIC TEACHING SYSTEM
