Yang Style Tai Chi Chuan History Continued...
Before Yang Cheng Fu returned to Shanghai from Canton, he instructed his senior student Dong Ying Jie and his first son Yang Shou Zhong to stay in Canton to continue teach his Tai Chi Chuan in the southern China.
Grandmaster Doc-Fai Wong's teacher Hu Yuen Chou was also an outstanding student of Yang Cheng Fu. When Yang Cheng Fu was ill in the hospital, Hu was a resident doctor there. Hu was able to visit his teacher Yang Cheng Fu and stay with him for long periods in the hospital. Hu Yuen Chou had the opportunity to receive private instruction from Yang Cheng Fu for more then six months in the hospital room.
Before Yang Cheng Fu went back to Shanghai, he told Hu Yuen Chou to continue practicing with his first son Yang Shou Zhong and his senior student Dong Ying Jie. This enabled Hu Yuan Chou, Yang Shou Zhong and Dong Ying Jie to become very close friends who all became major Yang style masters in Canton and Hong Kong.
Grandmaster Doc-Fai Wong has one of the most direct lineages of Yang Style Tai Chi Chuan in the United States and Shaolin Martial Arts Center is privileged to bring this art to their students.
