Yang Luchan after learning, in the Beijing-Tianjin area in the way of martial arts fights with people, never lost, a moment known as Yang invincible. This ancient fighting art of taijiquan became widely known, and for a while, the nobles of Beijing royal court and the rich merchants and tycoons who practiced taijiquan were seeking for the art. Since the children of nobles were weak, they practiced boxing more for the purpose of physical exercise and health care, rather than actual combat skills. Some complex movements in Chen-style Taijiquan were slow to be mastered. According to the actual situation and his own teaching experience, Yang Lu Chan boldly innovated on the basis of Chen's Taiji, removing the movements of bouncing, power generation, jumping, etc., which is more suitable for the needs of health care, and this style has been retained to this day.
