Yang Style Tai Chi Chuan
杨式太极拳
Yang Style Tai Chi Chuan (Taijiquan) is one of the most widely practiced and respected internal martial arts in the world today. At GEIA, we offer authentic instruction of this refined and meditative art, which harmonizes body, mind, and energy. Characterized by its slow, flowing movements and deep internal strength, Yang Style Tai Chi is both accessible to beginners and endlessly enriching for more advanced practitioners.
This style was developed in the 19th century by Yang Luchan, and transmitted through generations of the Yang family—including Yang Banhou, Yang Jianhou, Yang Shaohou, and Yang Chengfu. Each generation preserved and deepened the system, giving rise to different interpretations or variations of the forms such as large-frame and small-frame forms. While Yang Chengfu emphasized long, open, and accessible movements (Large-Frame or Big Circle Frame) , his elder brother Yang Shaohou, later in his life, preserved and specialized in the Small-Frame version that retained fast and explosive martial methods (also known as the Usage Frame).
At GEIA, we currently teach the Large Frame 88 Steps Yang Tai Chi Form of Yang Cheng Fu passed down by Sifu Liang De Hua to Tim Puget through the Gu Lisheng / Chi Qingsheng lineage (more info below).
Note: Chen Weiming was a prominent student of Yang Cheng Fu

Affiliate of the Chuan Cheng Academy of Sifu Liang De Hua
At GEIA, we are honored to be an affiliate school of the Chuan Cheng Traditional Taijiquan and Internal Arts Academy by Sifu Liang De Hua, a dedicated lineage holder of Traditional Yang-Style Tai Chi Chuan. Therefore, Coach Tim Puget follows the Tai Chi curriculum imparted by Sifu Liang to guide students through a step-by-step program, in order to achieve true and lasting Internal Gong fu skills—both for Health and Martial purposes.
This is an exclusive opportunity to learn Traditional Yang Style Tai Chi here in Manila or anywhere in the Philippines.
Sifu Liang De Hua is the founder of the Chuan Cheng Traditional Taijiquan and Internal Arts Academy, where he teaches the complete Yang Style Taijiquan curriculum to students worldwide—including forms, push hands, weapons, nei gong, and internal cultivation.
As a 6th-generation indoor disciple and inheritor in the Gu Lisheng / Chi Qingsheng lineage of Yang Family Tai Chi, he carries forward a rich transmission that includes the traditional large-frame 88-form (with various variations), classical weapons, and the rarely taught small-frame (Xiao Jia) fast form, an advanced expression of the art handed down from Yang Shaohou.
This lineage emphasizes the authentic internal mechanics, internal power (Fa Jin and Na jin etc..), correct structure and Nei Gong that were at the heart of early Yang family training.
Through his refined skills (internal gongfu) and teachings, he clarifies the internal principles that underpin the Tai Chi Form (taolu), to move away from simple choreographies towards real internal transformation for Health, Spiritual or Martial purposes.
