Tung Hu Ling Push Hands

Tung Hu Ling (1917-1992) is seen practicing Push Hands with his student, Chris Chang. This video was taken in 1980 when Tung was 62 years old. He was the son of Tung Ying Chieh, who was one of the main disciples of the famous 3rd generation Yang Family Tai Chi grandmaster Yang Cheng Fu.


Tung Ying Chieh taught his son the Yang style and the Wu/Hao style of Tai Chi Chuan. When Tung Hu Ling was young, he was fortunate to have been personally tutored in the Yang style by his father’s teacher, Yang Cheng Fu.

Tung Hu Ling moved from China to live, and teach Tai Chi in Macau. Later he moved to Hong Kong where also taught at his father’s school. Along with his Tung Ying Chieh, he travelled to Thailand and Singapore to teach Tai Chi to students there. Eventually, Tung Hu Ling moved to the United States, and settled in Hawaii. He continued teaching many students in Hawaii and around the world his family’s traditions of the art.
