He was 50 years of age and a master of both of the other styles before learning Tai-Ji Cuan from Kuo. His example of humbly seeking knowledge when he was already an expert is an inspiration to all os us. The Sun style Tai Ji Quan, is characterized by small circular movements and high stances. The pattern called "Opening and Closing" is one of particular importance in the style. It is used to develop inner energy. Tai Ji relaxes the mind as well the body. It helps degestion, quiets the nervous system, benefits the heart and blood cirulation, makes joints loose, and refreshes the skin. The taoist founder of Tai-ji Quan is reported to have stated, "This set of exercises will lead many practitioners to health, happiness, and longevity. Self-defense is secondary.

Philosophically, the short staff manifest the principles of simplicity, yet being versatile, hardy, yet compassionate. A short staff if made to defend almost any kind of offensive attack. However, this particular form trains chi to flow into the weapon, using it as it it were an integral part of the body. When the student has accomplished this skill, the short staff will flow endlessly as directed by the mind, without any physical effort or loss of stamina.This set teaches more importantyl that when the basic principles of Tai Ji Quan is combined with any short stick, its effectiveness for self-defense is second to
    none. This routine is an internal set.

The treasury of the eye of true teaching, the ineffable mind of nirvana. The form of reality is formless!
