Lineage and Institute
Rooted in Tradition. Taught with Integrity
A rare internal art emphasizing refined movement and deep inner cultivation. Passed down from Master Hao Shaoru to Master Liu Jishun, it combines precision of form with inner awareness and martial capability.Hao Style Taijiquan Research Institute preserves the direct lineage from Wu Yuxiang through Hao Shaoru to Master Liu Jishun. Our global instructors share the art with depth, experience and care.
Traditional Internal Art. Direct from the Lineage
A Living Lineage from Wu Yuxiang to Today
Direct Lineage = Unbroken Knowledge
This system flows directly from Wu Yuxiang → Li Yiyu → Hao Weizhen → Hao Yueru → Hao Shaoru → Liu Jishun → Oz — a continuous, living chain preserving rare internal methods once kept secret in China.Internal Skills Can’t Be Reverse Engineered
Shenfa (body method), qi sinking, dantian rotation and jin (refined power) must be felt, corrected and transmitted - not guessed from books or pieced together by observation.Teaching Without Transmission Creates Imitators
Many instructors teach “Taiji” but have never trained under a legitimate lineage. Without hands-on correction and internal guidance, they pass down an empty shell.Lineage Carries Responsibility
To learn from a living tradition is to inherit not just knowledge - but a duty to preserve, embody, and transmit the art with integrity.
Lineage as the Seal of Authenticity
Why Your Teacher Matters
Authentic Taiji isn’t just movement. It’s deep structure, internal development and direct transmission. Choose a teacher who carries the tradition and can guide you through all levels - not just the form.The Hao Style Taijiquan Research Institute preserves and transmits the internal system passed down by Master Liu Jishun - the longest-serving and authorised representative of the Hao family, appointed by Hao Shaoru. For the first time, the complete Wu Yuxiang–Hao Shaoru lineage was brought into the public domain through Master Liu’s international teaching. The institute is made up of his disciples, committed to maintaining the integrity of this rare tradition.
