Wu Style Sparring Forms

Master (Eddie) Wu Kwong Yu was invited by the Chinese Wushu Association to design the two person sparring forms for teaching in schools, colleges and universities. He designed six sparring forms representing Wu Style which now form part of the Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan examination criteria in the Chinese Wushu Duanwei (grading) System.

Each level has a theme and consists of the Solo Form (Upper/Lower Hand combined), the Two Man Sparring Form and applications.
With minor changes the six forms convert into one continuous form.
