The martial reputation of the Wu Family was not created randomly. It is a result of the constant practice in the Forms and Pushing Hands, in the consistent application of the principles of movement and the comprehensive practice of the fighting applications that spring from the Forms.<\/p>

The techniques of the Forms are complemented and unified by the movements and the footwork of the Pushing Hands, the Weapon Forms and the Chi Kung. Thus, fighting applications are effective and practical and not merely a useless copy of the Forms.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

All the techniques include the 8 Powers (Jin), the 4 Methods of Fighting, as well as the Techniques for Power Generation (Fa Jing). They thus have a special technical aspect that makes them distinctive from the other styles of martial arts. Fighting applications include all the techniques, the deep knowledge and the quality of Tai Chi Chuan.<\/p>

The final step of the training is free sparring (with proper gear and within the school). In free sparring are allowed all blows (with all parts of the body, not just with the hands and the legs), joint-locks, throws, submissions etc. However, the opponents always maintain the basic principles of Tai Chi Chuan.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
