Does anybody know where else on youtube can I find this style of Wu? All the other Wu styles I find are different,but this is the one I am learning now. And is there anybody else learning this style also?

really good, The short frameof this form makes it feel right and the Qi just flows from there...

Well, that's what the Wu family teachers taught me. Maybe modern teachers don't want to be bothered. It's up to you how fast you train it. If you don't want to work your control and concentration, that's your business. When I was younger, we would even do 1 hour forms! Wu Jianquan said "the slower the better."

There is no form in this style that takes 45 minutes, maybe 20 at most

Yeah, it is the long form, but she is doing it relatively quickly for demonstration purposes. The speed is up to the practitioner, you can go faster or slower, and different speeds have different health benefits. In the winter, if you want a nice warming form, do 30-45 minutes. In summer, when you want to work on coordination and circulation, do a 20-10 minute form. People even do forms faster than that, but it starts to look a little different, a "fast form".

i don't quite understand. this is the long form right? what is the long form that i hear about that apparently averages out to 45 minutes? cuz this one is done in 11 minutes. is madame wu just doing it a little faster? or the camera? or what? and is there any instructional videos or stuff on her long form?

I know Wu style people from Shanghai, Hong Kong and Singapore/Malaysia. They are good students and nice people, an argument on youtube shouldn't discourage folks from studying at any of these places.

Loyaute Thank you for explaining the history! I could not have said it any better.There is no reason for anyone practicing Wu Style to be divisive as it is one happy family. The exeption are some of their rogue students who may make ridiculous claims of grandeur.
