Chu Min Yi (1884 – 1946) demonstrates workout routines on his Tai Chi training apparatus. He developed this to further his skills in the traditional Wu style of Tai Chi Chuan. The footage was filmed in 1934. Chu Min Yi was a student of the famous Wu Chien Chuan.

A translation of Chu’s book “Tai Chi Boxing Photographed” was written in 1929. The book has a good description of the equipment and the use of it.

A good article about the life of Chu Min Yi can be found here: “Chu Minyi – Physician, Politician and Taijiquan Addict”.
