Some years later Yang Ling Sheng met Master Guo
Pei Yun (a Kung-Fu brother of Master Li Zhong Zhi), who looking at the young

After many years of intense study and hard Mr.
Yang Lin has gained a unique style, a great physical harmony and force; he
enjoy a lot the real Kung-Fu practicing such as Tui Shou and combat.
The most concentrated research of Mr. Yang has
always been the physical harmony and force of Kung-Fu, he use to say that:
"Each single movement of every form contains the basic rules
of the practice Kung-Fu, its essence is the demonstrations of physical harmony
and force".
|
|
Mr. Yang traveled a lot around China meeting
many famous Kung-Fu masters with which exchange their own knowledge. This
experience convinced him that nowadays the Kung-Fu has lost a great part of its
own traditional characteristics. Many masters concentrated their teaching only
on the demonstrations of movements, forms and connected theories.
Modern Kung-Fu (WuShu) has problems as well with
a high technical content; the difficulty of movements and the complexity of the
forms are encasing everyday, becoming more close to

gymnastics and dance rather
than martial art. It looks very nice shapely and very acrobatic but it loses
the practicality of the real martial art and real Kung-Fu’s basic aim. The
modern WuShu only serves for few professional competition teams, very hardly
can be practiced by common people.

Old masters physical harmony, force and skill,
such as Guo Pei Yun and Li Zhong Zhi, all have special charms, which combine
the beauty of the movement harmony with the strength and effectiveness of real
application. Master Chen Guan Sheng of BeiJing, even though is almost 80 years
old, still has a great physical harmony that allow him to remains in a high
level position as martial artist. There are only one out of thousand sword
players like Mr. Yu Cheng Hui’s. Master Yang Zhen Duo’s stances make him
credible as formal representative master of the Yang style Tai

Ji Quan school.
Today’s Kung-Fu developments should inheriting the essence from old masters and
expand it to every parts of the world.
In the 40 years of Kung-Fu life Mr. Yang Lin
Sheng, with the strong bases of the traditions and many years of teaching
experiences, has trained many excellent students that are now teaching to
important Chinese university or professional teams. Master Yang Lin Sheng and
those old students are all dedicating themselves for the development and spread
Chinese traditional Kung-Fu.
