It just seems that the Yang style was purposefully tailored to be like a Tai Chi Chuan-lite for health.
Not true. Yang Lu-Ch'an was interested in Taijiquan for mainly martial reasons. Just because he got rid of some of the stomping, high kicking, external aspects of Chen style doesnt make it less effective, just less outwardly "scary" looking.
