Cheng Man Ching – 37 Movement Tai Chi Chuan
Cheng Man Ching (1902 – 1975) demonstrates the 37-Movement Tai Chi Chuan. Cheng created the shortened form from his knowledge of the Traditional Yang style of Tai Chi Chuan. Cheng Man Ching learned Traditional Yang style of Tai Chi Chuan from Yang Cheng Fu, the famous 3rd generation Yang Family master.
