I think perhaps people are unsure if you are trying to start a discussion about this. If so, your original posting didn't say much to begin the discussion.

I would like to know something about Hou Yuanjia if anyone can help me. what did this Master learned in martial arts to establish the Chin Woo school?. Is there a Taichi background related to his life.

So why didn't you ask???

An ambiguous, unclear post goes nowhere & draws answers like mine or just utter ingoring, which I thought about but I was in a mood when I replied.

Why not read up on him at http://www.chinwoo.com ???

The meaning is exactly the same here. What is an empty post with a pic supposed to do? What are you wanting to say or ask?

I have to agree...please, give us more context!

Huo Yuanjia's primary martial art was Mizongluoanquan (Lost Track Monk Fist). I study it from this lineage. Jingwu was a collection of many arts, though. See:

haha
you guys are so mean to the man... he's just informing you guys, and giving a link to the info...

i cannot give you more information on him than what his website says.
however, i can add one piece of info, is that the Tan Tui (or tom toy) forms are not his invention, neither was it his idea alone.
tan tui's belong to the muslim chinese minority's long fist. the reason why chin woo embraced this is because it offered more to students than sitting in a horse stance the entire day doing punches and other techniques.

if you are interested in chin woo i would suggest you start a thread talking about each one of the masters at chin woo at that time. this way students from that lineage understand why their mantis is mixed with hung gar, and why their eagle claw is mixed with mantis and so on...

btw, i started a thread similar to this on grandmaster Lo Kwan Yu, i was the only person who responded to that!
so much for honoring masters man!!!
