Yang Family Disciple Code of Conduct

Yang Family Tai Chi is a treasure of Chinese traditional culture, with superb

principles and a profound background. It has been passed on for more than a hundred

years, and is loved, valued, and respected all over the world.

The Yang Family Disciple Code of Conduct sets forth the standards of behavior

for disciples. These include standards of values, principles, and attitudes to help guide

disciples. These standards serve to maintain the image of Yang Family, to carry forward

Yang Family traditions, and to show respect for the teaching and legacy of Yang Family

ancestors.

Chapter 1 General Articles

1. Advocate Wude (martial arts moral code), and dedicate the promotion of Yang

Family Tai Chi Chuan as a lifelong responsibility and pursuit.

2. Cherish tai chi chuan as an intangible cultural heritage of China and the world.

Respect teachers past and present. Be eager to learn and be consistent. Be honest

and kind. Be loyal and decent. Be generous and caring. Be modest and refined.

Keep your promises and help each other.

3. According to traditional culture, Yang Family disciples are the inheritors of Yang

Family Tai Chi Chuan. A disciple is a person who holds a disciple’s certificate

from their formal disciple ceremony and is entered into the Disciple Registry.

Yang Family disciples include entry level disciples, entered disciples, and direct

descendants.

Chapter 2 Skills

The founder of Yang Family Tai Chi Chuan is Yang Luchan. After three generations

of refinement by Banhou, Jianhou, Shaohou, and Chengfu, and more than a hundred

years of dissemination, the martial arts community and practitioners recognize Yang

Chengfu’s large postures as the definitive form and representation of Yang family Tai

Chi Chuan. The descendants of Yang Chengfu and their disciples all use Yang Chengfu’s

definitive postures as the portal to hand technique, the Yang Family Tai Chi Push

Hands as the portal to application techniques, and the Yang Family Tai Chi Sword and

the Yang Family Tai Chi Saber as the portal to weapons techniques. The disciples are

required to master their skills in all of these areas of study.

1. Study diligently and practice hard; persevere and refrain from opportunism. Do

not “dry for one day and freeze for ten”. This saying by Mencius conveys how some

people work hard for a while and then get lazy and fail. This proverb serves to

warn those students who set goals of being diligent, but then slack-off and do not

persevere.

2. Be steadfast and steady. Study techniques carefully and avoid being overambitious and aggressive.

3. Understand the Yang Family Tai Chi Chuan system, practise both cultural and

martial pursuits. Refrain from valuing only the skills and then neglecting the

theory. Do not use skills to bully or take advantage of others.

4. Be open and tolerant. Be modest and guard against complacency. Do not show off

in front of others.

Chapter 3 Etiquette

1. Speaking

I. Address others respectfully and be free from arrogance.

II. Speech should be praising and free from ridicule.

III. Give suggestions tactfully and free from harshness.

VII. Value prudence and refrain from rashness.

VIII.Value deep thinking and refrain from capriciousness.

IX. Value pragmatism and refrain from vanity.

3. Maintaining the standard and uniformity of the Yang Family Tai Chi chuan technical

system, and keeping pace with the times for better development.

In order for the development and perfection of the Yang Family Tai Chi Chuan

system, different forms of exercises (including routines) may be created and

incorporated into the inherited Yang Family Tai Chi system. The creation of these

forms must be done by the technical body of the Yang Family Disciples Council

after being approved by the practicing and will be included in the technical

system of Yang Family Tai Chi Chuan after it has been considered by all the council

members and approved by more than half of them and then signed by the master.

Temporary choreography for social activities such as performances is not included

in this regulation.

4. If there are Yang Family disciples who have tai chi activities in other places, they

must inform disciples in that area in advance so that they can support each other

and enhance the friendship between the disciples.

5. Disciples shall not create their own martial arts style or organization at will.

Chapter 4 Teacher and Succession

Yang style tai chi chuan was founded by the Yang family and its ancestors. These

family members and ancestors were of high moral and professional integrity and

made outstanding contributions to the spread of tai chi. Remember the saying, “When

you drink the water, think of its source.” Descendants of the Yang family should be

respected and loved by all fellow students and practitioners.

The process of discipleship includes the notification to the Disciple Council

Discipleship Committee, the ceremony of worship and discipleship, and the

registration of Yang Family Tai Chi disciples into the Disciple Registry.

I. The acceptance of Yang Family disciples is important to the development and

continuation of Yang Family Tai Chi Chuan. The disciples who are accepted are

not only Yang Family disciples, but also have a personal relationship between

(see the inheritance guidelines for qualification requirements) and have been

accepted to become disciples must notify Yang Family Heritage Committee in

the venue; paying respects to the Yang Family Tai Chi Chuan ancestors, the

discipleship rituals such as offering tea to the disciple’s master, the group

photograph of the master and the new disciples, official witnesses’ protocol,

and master of ceremonies duties, etc.

IV. After the disciple ceremony the disciple must complete the registration of the

Yang Family disciples’ registry requirements within 30 days and report to the

Yang Family Heritage Committee. The committee will then formally enter the
