This is a wonderful video of Cheng Man Ching (1902 – 1975) leading a beginners class through several of the postures of Cheng’s 37 Movement Yang Form. This video is from 8mm film footage taken during the 1960’s at the Tai Chi school that Cheng Man Ching founded in New York City. Unfortunately there is no sound on the film, but one can still benefit greatly from watching and studying the movements of Cheng Man Ching teaching the form to students.

Cheng Man Ching was a student of the famous Yang Cheng Fu, who was a 3rd generation master of the Yang Family style of Tai Chi Chuan. Cheng went on to develop his own shortened version of the Tai Chi form based on the Yang style. Cheng Man Ching spent many years in Taiwan, where he taught Tai Chi to students such as Benjamen Lo, T.T. Liang, William C.C. Chen and others. Later, Cheng moved to the United States where he taught many Americans the art of Tai Chi Chuan.
