Don't you also go by Ted Turner on other forums? I remember you bringing this up on SDF when you claimed Chen style was the only Tai Chi that generated power differently than Karate and you got some very clear answers from the mods, you just didn't like them. I'll refresh your memory though.
Soke Takayuki Kubota 10th dan Gosoku-ryu The living embodiment of Karate.

Wu Tunan, Li Zi Ming, Sun Jian Yun, Shi Hai Deng some of Tai Chi's legends and lineage bearers of their respective family styles.

If a picture is worth a thousand words then video must be worth a million.
None of those systems manifest or generate power anything like Karate.
Why some people get hung up spreading misinformation about other styles to make their own seem special amazes me, especially when they have no connection to the family or style except that they like it. We have to get past all the misinformation if we hope to keep the internal arts alive, the defending the rice bowl has to stop. If you like Chen style by all means practice it but stop spreading misinformation about the other styles all over the net Ted. Poisoning the reputation of other styles does nothing to make your style better in fact if anything it shows a lack of confidence in your styles ability to stand on its own virtues.
