Master Cheng's New Method of Taichi Ch'uan Self-Cultivation by Cheng Man-ch'ing Cheng Man-ch'ing or Zheng Manqing 29 July - 26 March was a notable Chinese expert of t'ai chi ch'uanChinese medicineand the so called three perfections : calligraphypainting and poetry. His birthday was on the 28th year of the Guangxu emperor's reign, 6th month, 25th day, which corresponds to July 29, Because of his skills in these five areas, considered among some of the traditional skills and pastimes of a Confucian scholar, he was often referred to as the "Master of Five Excellences. Cheng's father died when Cheng was very young. He recuperated slowly, and was apprenticed to a well-known artist, Wang Xiangchan, in hopes that simple jobs like grinding ink would help his health. Within a few years, his Master Chengs New Method of Tai Chi Self-cultivation sent him out to earn his living at painting. Cheng's aunt Chang Kuang, also known by her artist's name of Hongwei Laoren, was a well-known painter. During Cheng's childhood, his mother took him out to find medicinal plants and taught Master Chengs New Method of Tai Chi Self-cultivation the fundamentals of traditional Chinese herbal medicine. Cheng taught poetry and art in several leading colleges in Beijing and Shanghai and was a successful artist. At the age of nineteen, he was a professor of poetry at an esteemed art school in Beijing. In his twenties, he developed lung disease believed to be tuberculosis partly from exposure to the chalk dust from the school blackboards. Ill to the point of coughing up blood, he began to practice t'ai chi ch'uan more diligently to aid his recovery. Cheng retired from teaching and devoted himself for several years to the study of t'ai chi ch'uan, traditional Chinese medicineand literature. In addition to his childhood instruction, Cheng Man-ch'ing received formal Chinese medical training. While he was teaching painting in a Shanghai art school, one of his friends grew ill and was unable to find relief. Cheng Man-ch'ing wrote a complex prescription for his friend, who took the medicine and recovered fully. One story from his memorial book is that a retired traditional doctor named Song You-an came across the prescription. He demanded to be put in contact with the person who wrote it, as the sophistication and erudition of the prescription showed exceptional talent and competence. As war was raging across China at that time, it took several years before Master Chengs New Method of Tai Chi Self-cultivation Man-ch'ing was able to present himself for study. With Song, Cheng received instruction and became conversant with the Chinese Master Chengs New Method of Tai Chi Self-cultivation. Dr Song was the twelfth generation of physician in his family; his medical school had a formidable collection of traditional medicines. Around Cheng met the well-known master Yang Chengfu —with whom he began to study Yang-style t'ai chi ch'uanuntil Yang died. While the exact dates of Cheng's study with Yang are not clear, one of Yang's top students, scholar Chen Weiming wrote that Cheng studied six years with Yang. Cheng, Master Chengs New Method of Tai Chi Self-cultivation to Yang's son Zhenji, ghostwrote Yang's second book Essence and Applications of Taijiquan or The Substance and Application of T'ai Chi Ch'uan Taijiquan tiyong quanshu, Master Chengs New Method of Tai Chi Self-cultivation which Cheng also wrote a preface and most likely arranged for the calligraphic dedications. Cheng taught t'ai chi ch'uan, practiced medicine, and continued his art practice in Sichuan Province during the Sino-Japanese war years. He wrote the manuscript for his Thirteen Chapters during this period, and showed them to his elder classmate Chen Weimingwho gave it his imprimatur. Cheng moved to Taiwan in and continued his career as a physician and as a teacher of his new t'ai chi ch'uan form, as well as actively practicing painting, poetry, and calligraphy. SmithT. Liang, William C. ChenHuang Sheng Shyan and others [ citation needed ] trained with him. Though he tended not to advertise it, Cheng served as one of the painting teachers of Soong Mei-lingMadame Chiang Kai-shek, whom he taught to paint lotuses; and as personal physician to Chiang Kai-shek in Taiwan and perhaps earlier. Some students of that era say that there were the Five Senior Students, plus Stanley Israel in the second level. Morningstar and William C. Phillips [ citation needed ]. In Taiwan, Cheng's students continued running the school in his absence. It operated initially under the direction of Liu Hsi-heng. Hsu I-chung is the current director [ citation needed ]. While living in New York City, Cheng often spent several hours in the early afternoons studying or teaching classes of three or four students in the C. Starr East Master Chengs New Method of Tai Chi Self-cultivation Library in Columbia Universityusually in a small, mahogany-panelled loft above the main floor. For relaxation, he raised orchids. In in collaboration with Robert W. Smithand T. He wrote over a dozen other books on a variety of subjects, including the I Chingthe Tao Te Chingthe Analects of Confuciusbooks of poetry, essays, medicine, and art collections. Cheng also produced several t'ai chi films, and some of his classes and lectures were recorded and in later Master Chengs New Method of Tai Chi Self- cultivation released on DVD. Cheng Man-ch'ing is best known in the West for his t'ai chi ch'uan. The following are some of the characteristics of his "Yang-style short form. These changes allowed Cheng to teach larger numbers of students in a shorter time. His shortened form became extremely popular in Taiwan and Malaysia, and he was one of the earliest Chinese masters to teach t'ai chi ch'uan publicly in the United States. His students have continued to spread his form around the world. Master Chengs New Method of Tai Chi Self-cultivation rejected the appellation "Yang-style Short Form" to characterize his t'ai chi. When pressed on the issue, he called his form "Yang-style t'ai chi in 37 Postures. In the older form each movement counts as a posture, whereas in the Cheng form postures are counted only the first time they are performed, and rarely or not at all when they are repeated. These differences in how the postures are counted have led some Cheng practitioners, such as William C. Chento characterize their own forms as exceeding Master Chengs New Method of Tai Chi Self-cultivation "movements," and indeed, upon close comparison with the Yang Chengfu form, Cheng's postures, if counted the same way as Yang's are, would number over Moreover, there is nothing in Cheng's teaching to prohibit a practitioner of his style from repeating any number of movements just as many or more times than they are repeated in the Yang Chengfu form. Cheng's changes to the Yang-style form have never been officially recognised by the Yang family and perhaps partly because of the continued popularity of Cheng's shortened form his style is still a source of controversy among some t'ai chi ch'uan practitioners. From Cheng's own point of view, the approval of his elder brother disciple Ch'en Wei-ming was all the recognition he needed, since by that time Yang Chengfu was deceased, and all of the current generation of Yang Chengfu leaders were junior to him. Cheng Man-ch'ing's legacy includes many hundreds of schools around the world that follow his lineage.

    Ideas from 2004 Seminars

    Taiji – Daoist Principles in Practice. THE DEATH OF A MASTER. By Patrick A Kelly, October 1993 (Originally published in the St Benedicts st Taiji-school Magazine and also in the American “Tai Chi” magazine) In December 1992 ten thousand Taiji exponents felt the loss of their teacher, Master Huang Xingxiang (Huang Sheng-Shyan). He died in Fuzhou, China, the place of his birth 83 years earlier – having returned there a few months before his death after 43 years spent living and teaching in first Taiwan then later Singapore and Malaysia. He left behind approximately 35 independent schools throughout Malaysia, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand. Each of these schools has professional instructors and many have more than one hundred students. The first of these schools were formed over 30 years ago in Singapore and East Malaysia. I personally established a school in Auckland New Zealand in 1979 after 7 years training under Master Huang and his senior instructors and being accepted as one of his personal pupils in 1978. Master Huang was well known and respected in Chinese martial arts circles around the world for the subtlety and strength of his internal power and his ability to use it in the Taiji pushing hands. Unfortunately few Westerners ever experienced his abilities first hand and many disbelieved his skill and felt the need to convince others of their disbelief with rational arguments founded on lack of personal experience. I have never met anybody who if lucky enough to practise with Master Huang, had any doubt of his capabilities. Some did argue that his 20 years of practising Fujian White Crane under some of the most famous masters of his time was a major factor in his later success at Taiji, and he never denied it, but while giving due credit to the three Daoist Sages who taught him White Crane from the age of 14, he always attributed his Taiji skill to the late Grand Master Cheng Man-Ching.

In Europe, the School of Internal Arts (pseudonym) follows key principles of the ancient Chinese text The Yijinjing (The Muscle-Tendon Change Classic) “Skeleton up, flesh down”, in its online and offline pedagogy. This article draws on an ongoing ethnographic, netnographic and cross-cultural investigation of the transmission of knowledge in this atypical association that combines Taijiquan with a range of practices such as Qigong, body loosening exercises and meditation. Exploring the ideal body cultivated by the students, we describe and illustrate key (and often overlooked) body areas—namely the spine, scapula, Kua and feet, which are continually worked on in the School of Internal Arts’ exercise-based pedagogy. We argue that Neigong and Taijiquan, rather than being forms of physical education, are vehicles for adult physical re-education.

    Yang Family, Yang Style楊家,楊式

    Yang Family, Yang Style 楊家,楊式 by Sam Masich Frequently I am asked questions about the curriculum of Yang Style Taijiquan. What does it include? Why do some schools include material that others don’t? Why are some practices considered legitimate by some teachers but not by others? In order to understand the variances in curriculum from school to school it is first necessary to understand a few historical factors relating to the creation of this branch of Taijiquan as well as the opinions of the Yang family itself. In 1990 I had the fortune of riding with master Yang Zhenduo from Winchester, Virginia to Washington D.C. in a van filled with Tai Chi players. We were all going to the Smithsonian institute and to see the sights. It was a sunny day and everyone in the vehicle was in very good spirit after an intense, upbeat five-day workshop. The mood was relaxed and, as I was sitting close to Master Yang and his translator, I took the opportunity to ask some questions about his life in China, his impressions of America, his training and his views on Tai Chi. At some point I came to the subject of curriculum and asked him, among other things, what he thought about the 88 movement Yang Style Taijiquan San Shou (Sparring) routine. Master Yang said, "This is Yang Style Taijiquan not Yang Family Taijiquan." He went on further to explain that this was the creation of his fathers’ students and that, while it adhered well to the principles of his father’s teachings, it was not to be considered part of the Yang Family Taijiquan.

    A Reflection on Master Dong Yingjie (Excerpt from On Tai Chi Chuan by T. Y. Pang, Azalea Press, 1987, ISBN 0- 9612070-1-9) Dong Yingjie (1890-1964) Dong Yingjie studied with Yang Chengfu (1883-1936), one of the most famous and most popular teachers in the Yang school. When Yang moved to Canton, Dong followed him. Of all the students who followed Yang only Dong had a literary education, rare for devoted Tai Chi Chuan students in those days, and Dong edited Yang's first book which was published in 1931. Some years earlier Chen Weiming, a scholar, practiced with Yang and then wrote a book about Tai Chi Chuan. Dong originated from Hebei, but in his middle age he lived and taught in southern China and Macao. He later moved to Hong Kong and taught on Hong Kong Island. One cold rainy day in May 1950 Dong started a class for beginners on the Kowloon side. Fifteen people had signed up for the class, but only five or six, including myself, attended. It was my first class with him. He showed us half the set that evening. We practiced indoors that night because of the rain. Later classes were held outdoors on the rooftop, which was a flat concrete surface with a low concrete wall around the edges. At the end of the first class Dong explained that because he could not come to every class his son, Dong Fuling, would teach some of the classes for him. There was no public transportation after six in the evening, and after class I walked the eight miles home to Shatin, New Territories.

    Tuishou Interstyles Rencontre Nationale FAEMC 23 Et 24 Mars 2019 À Laillé (Rennes Métropole)

    Tuishou Interstyles Rencontre Nationale FAEMC 23 et 24 mars 2019 à Laillé (Rennes Métropole) A propos du Tuishou Le Tuishou ou « poussée des mains » ou « mains collantes » est surtout connu dans les Arts Martiaux Internes (Neijia). Partie essentielle du Taiji Quan, il est aussi pratiqué dans le Yi Quan, le Bagua Zang. On le retrouve également dans les Arts Martiaux Chinois Externes (Weijia) comme le Shuai Jiao, le Wingchun (chisao) et certains styles de Gong Fu Wushu (Saolim Kung Fu). Son principe majeur est de cultiver l’extrême détente musculaire (Song) pour accueillir (Jiejin), transformer (huajin) et retourner (fajin) la force donnée par le partenaire, que ce soit à pas fixes ou à pas mobiles. Chaque style de Taiji Quan est riche de nombreux Tuishou d’école. Ils permettent de découvrir les bases du Tuishou grâce à une structure bien charpentée d’exercices pour affiner au fil des années la sensibilité dans l’écoute du partenaire (dingjin). La multiplicité des techniques utilisées se développe autour des huit potentiels Peng (parer), Lu (dévier, tirer), An (pousser), Ji (presser), cai (cueillir, saisir, tirer vers le bas, trancher), lie (fendre, séparer, tordre), zhou (coup de coude) et kao (coup d’épaule). La compétition de Tuishou permet d’éprouver la difficulté du principe du « moindre effort pour un effet suffisant voir maximum » dans un cadre de règles contraintes, sur un temps imparti. Il permet aux pratiquants d’Arts Martiaux Chinois d’origine différente de se rencontrer. Enfin, le Tuishou libre, basé sur le principe avancé plus haut, permet à des pratiquants d’arts martiaux de toute origine de pratiquer ensemble et d’échanger.

HE: Mein Lehrer (Wee Kee Jin) bezeichnet sich selbst nicht als Meister, wobei ich sage, er ist ein großer Meister. Ich glaube im chinesischen Denken hat der Begriff Meister etwas Vollkommenes, Fertiges. Deshalb bezeichnet man sich in der Tra- dition nicht gern als MeisterIn aus Angst stehen zu bleiben.
