Tung Ying Chieh was one of the top disciples of Yang Cheng Fu, often accompanying him on trips to assist with the teaching of the Traditional Yang style of Tai Chi Chuan. The teachings of the Yang style lineage through Tung Ying Chieh has a strong following around the world. His direct students along with his son, Tung Huling, grandsons Tung Kai Ying and Dong Zeng Chen, and great grandsons Tung Chen Wei and Alex Dong have been instrumental in teaching students the strong traditional training of Tung’s Tai Chi Chuan.
