** Fu Chen Sung also taught Sun style and Yang style tai chi, to compliment the forms he devised. Although he knew Chen style, he did not normally teach it. Fu style tai chi uses Yang style as a base, and is a blend of Yang, Chen, and Sun styles of tai chi, as well as pa kwa, with movements balanced on left and right.
