There are tons, you have to get in touch with the Wushu organization in Beijing for the wushu supported lineages.
Why are you interested?

I was merely making conversation to understand where you are coming from. There is no need to be crass.

aaronj, my deepest apology. I misunderstood your question to be a crass go at me and my motives. I was wrong, sorry. I'm interested to see which traditional styles of Tai Chi Chuan are recognized by the Chinese government. Basically I'm interested for two reasons, firstly to see how the Chinese government views Tai Chi Chuan especially in comparison to contemporary sport Wushu. And secondly because my teacher and his lineage were heavily persecuted by Beijing during the Cultural revolution. And I wish to go to China in 12 months to spend some time teaching English and am also interested to see what styles I could train in and if they are accrediated by the government there (if I wanted to teach the Tai Chi Chuan back home later, this would help).

Sometimes I find chat and other similar discussions like on here, YA's and facebook etc to be hard to read the motives/intentions of the writed/speaker. Sometimes they are crass and I think they are sincere and vice versa. It is a lot harder than talking face to face or on the phone to a lesser extent.
Anyone else find that?

@ frasier - Thanks. I can understand the difficulty with context via text.
Tai Chi Chuan in China is very much a national emblem of the culture. There is a lot of debate concerning tai chi and it's origins as well as the dissemenation of the original to the multiple systems around today. (Who's legit, who's not.) So with that I can fully understand your curiosity.
Wushu is going through some major changes right now, and probably will continue to do so for the next ten or more years. Beijing is unhappy with where the sport has gone, and what it has done to legitimate martial art study. So in all honesty, good luck with trying to see where everything fits in the current time frame.
Best of luck in your teaching endeavor!

The guy that I practice Tai Chi with said the linage of his Tai Chi is the kind you learn if you get up at the crack of dawn and visit any park in Hong Kong and many other bigger cities. With an explaination like that it would make it hard to follow the history of a particular branch of Tai Chi.
