MULAN QUAN TAI CHI & MOVING QIGONG
Feminine Art For Power & Strength

Mulan Quan Tai Chi is the largest major style created by a woman master.

The Mulan is one of the more elegant of Tai Chi forms, even in a field of great elegance. The presenter, Angela Wong-Douglas, studied Tai Chi for over 20 years, before discovering Mulan through her master from Shanghai, China.

All Tai Chi creates a harmony between masculine yang energy, and feminine yin energy, but the Mulan style brings forth a powerful yin element.

Mulan means "wooden orchid" and symbolizes beautiful strength or power. Mulan quan was designed specifically for drawing out women's grace, power, and confidence.

The DVD starts with helpful tai chi tips and breathing instructions from a male teacher. Then instructor Angela Wong-Douglas leads you in a mulan quan warm-up and moving qigong. Next she teaches the mulan short form, which becomes about five minutes of continuous movement when learned.

Instruction is in 17 lesson segments, a few movements at a time, and you're advised to practice each lesson for a week before going on. At the end, the instructor puts all the movements together in an exhibition/practice session.
Once you've learned them individually, you can fast-forward to this section and practice the whole routine.

This is a wonderful step by step instruction on learning the 24 bare hands Mulan form as the pace is slow enough to capture the subtlety of each move.
