Quotations
Kwang Ping Taijiquan of Kuo Lien Ying
"Kuo Lien Ying was one of the few mainland Chinese Taijiquan masters to make his
home in America. Skilled in both external and internal boxing, he was a respected boxer
in China. He later moved to Taiwan and then to America. Kuo had learnt his Taijiquan
from Wang Chiao Yu in Beijing from a young age. Wang himself was a student under
Yang Pan Hou. An examination of Kuo's Taijiquan shows characteristics of Yang Pan
Hou's Taijiquan but it differs somewhat from the old Yang form. Kuo called his form
Kwang Ping Taijiquan after the city of Kwang Ping where the Yangs had taught for a
while. He did it to differentiate it from the more extent forms of Taijiquan which he felt
did not contain all the theories of Taijiquan and that the form he had learnt represent
the whole transmission as taught by the Yangs in the city of Kwang Ping before going
into the Imperial Court. It should be noted that Kuo's form is not practiced in Kwang Ping
city. Today, Kuo's Taijiquan tradition is being carried on by his wife Simmone Kuo and
his son. Based in San Francisco, the style continues its growth primarily in the United
States where the numberof its practitioners continues to increase."

Kuo Lien Ying came to visit Jou-Yu Wong who was living near the Lao-Tzu Templein the Ho-Ping-Men
(Door of Peace) sector of Beijing. At the time, Master Wong was 112 years old and Kuo was in his
thirties. After Master Wong demonstrated his superiority in Kung Fu, and after Kuo passed the
chin-to-toe test in 100 days, Kuo Lien Ying began his studies with Wong Jou Yu at the Taoist Temple
until the old monk died at 121 years of age.
