The History of Tai Chi Chuan - where did our form come from?

Serge was most kind to give us a rundown on the lineage of our form this week. I woudl like to put together a map of the movement of the masters of our form and the historical moments. If you are interested or have some knowledge of the lineage yourself, please contact me so we can build the bigger picture for the Club! That would be great.

This is the 4th Generation Master, Cheng Man Ching (1901 - 1975). It was from him that the lineage continued and was pursued in Penang, Malaysia, Yap Siew Ting (1918 - 1978) and 5th Generation Master, Huang Sheng Shyan (1910 - 1992).
