Tai-chi Chuan
 
In the course of my wanderings, I was fortunate to meet some great teachers and studied mostly Yang style Taichi chuan with the Tung/Dong family masters. I first met Master Tung Hu-ling in 1969 when I had begun my graduate studies in Chinese history and religion at the University of Hawaii.

Later, while I was in Taiwan researching my dissertation, I studied Chen style Taichi with Master Pan Yung-chou (Pan Wing Chow).

To learn more about the Tung/Dong family

And also here with Chip Ellis, my fellow Dong family classmate's website:

About Chen Style & Master Pan Yung-chou, check out my Chen style classmate Wenpai Paul Chou's site:
