dr Qi’s short version of the Yang style (47 form Taijiquan) is characterised by compactness (arms are held close to the body) and a very airy execution. The main point is yielding, no extraneous force is used, hands and arms move only slightly.
Another property is his fair lady’s hand: wrist and back of the hand are in one line with the lower arm. This has the advantage that you have to sink your elbow and release your shoulder!

Mr Kwee Swan Hoo reminded me that not only Yielding but also Flow can be regarded as unique emphasis in the form. Mr Hoo studied with dr Qi in London in 1975.

Although of not too high a quality this recording is to be cherished as the only one publicly available. In this video Dr Qi demonstrates his simplified Yang style short form. The form in this clip was demonstrated at a speed faster than usual in order to economise on Super 8 film.

There are some differences between Zheng Manqing’s version and dr Qi’s: In Dr Qi’s version of the Simplified Yang Style Short Form (Zheng Manqing) the postures ‘Turn and Kick with Heel (L)’ and ‘Brush Left Knee and Push’ have been substituted with ‘Brush Left Knee and Push’, ‘Needles at Sea Bottom’, ‘Iron Fan Penetrates Back’, ‘Turn Body, Chop and Push’, ‘Step Forward, Deflect Downwards, Intercept and Punch’ and ‘Kick with Heel (R)’.

Another video, probably recorded in Regent’s Park somewhere in the late 1970s.
