Hu Lei or Hu Long Jia Tai Chi

Li Jingting was student of Chen Qing Ping who combined his family style with Zhaobao taijiquan to create hu lei taijiquan. Hu lei ("sudden lightning") is also known as hu long ("sudden dragon") taijiquan for the way in which power is expressed in the routines.
Thanks to the teachings of Master Adam Hsu of California, USA, this style is known to many in the West as Thunder Style.
Li Jingting live an taught in the Fu Ai region in China, and may have been influenced by the martial arts of that area. The routine is very similar to the seventy-four movement Zhao Bao form, although some of the names are different.

Here are two videos of Hu Lei Taijiquan. The first is a demonstration of form and martial applications that Master Adam Hsu did in the 1970's. The second is a more recent performance by Zhang Changnian
