The VETCH system

Sun Style Tai Chi (Taijiquan) is one of the five styles recognised  by the Government of China as the main classical styles, the others being the Chen, Yang, Wu and Hao.

The Style was developed by Sun Lutang by building on the previous classical Tai Chi styles using his vast knowledge of other internal Chinese martial arts to produce the ultimate or last of the five classical Tai Chi styles. The Sun Style differs from the previous classical styles particularly in the more upright posture and easier flowing shorter stepping movements.

The name Tai Chi has become famous as an exercise sytem for health. Many do not realize that there are many different styles. As well as the classical styles there are today hundreds of styles claiming the name Tai Chi, many even developed outside China and a few of these not worthy of the name. Most styles owe their origins to some inspiration or connection to one or more of the classical Chinese Styles. The most widespread are variations of the Yang Style.

As well as the 97 (or 98) sequence of the classical Sun Family Style, there have also been other newer developments of the Sun style. Notably the more athletic competition 73 sequence, and various other shortened routines. For example Dr Paul Lam’s famous “Tai Chi For Arthritis” (TCA) is a short sequence of movements copied in turn from the competition 73 sequence.

Our new “Variable Easy Tai Chi for Health” (VETCH) is a simplified and shortened version of the classical Sun Style 97 sequence. As well as being well structured and simple to learn. It is unique in that it is of variable length and not confined to a fixed numbered sequence of movements.
