When training in Emperors Long Fist you will learn the Tai Chi 36 Form (shown here) the Xing Yi 5 elements and 12 animals forms and Baqua Circle walking.

Just for for historic accuracy. The closest link to any of the internal arts and Tai Zu is spurious record that some postures from the manuscripts are similar to ones used in Chen Tai Ji. Xing Yi originated from a mixture of Xin Yi Liu He Quan, Northern Mantis and Zha Quan. Ba gua was created by Dong Hai Quan and there is no record of the preceding style Dong Hai Quan trained before inventing Ba Gua. There is no accurate link amongst the three systems, especially to a common ancestral style, other than that they are chinese arts later deemed the internal family by Sun Lu Tang

Matthew Staley thank you for your input. I can only post what information was given to me so I do appreciate what you have shared in your comment. I have always wondered wether the “legend” that is passed down as history in E.L.F could be taken as accurate. It didn’t make sense to me given that there are multiple “history’s” for how all three systems came to be.
