Title
The T'ai Chi Ch'uan Study Center of the Washington, DC Metro Area
Description
I studied T'ai Chi Ch'uan, Pa-kua Ch'uan and Hsing-i Ch'uan with Robert W. Smith from 1973 until Mr. Smith's retirement in 1988.
Mr. Smith began T'ai Chi Ch'uan in Taiwan in 1959 and was the first Western student accepted by Prof. Cheng Man-ch'ing. He was chosen by Cheng to coauthor the book "T'ai Chi Ch'uan, the Supreme Ultimate" which was published in 1966 especially for Western students. An early pioneer of Asian martial arts in America, Mr.Smith has written numerous other books, including the first books in English on Pa-kua and Hsing-i.
Cheng Man-ch'ing was a student of Yang Cheng-fu. Cheng was known as the Master of Five Excellences: Medicine; Painting; Calligraphy; Poetry; and T'ai Chi. His book "T'ai Chi Ch'uan, A Simplified Method of Calisthenics for Health and Self Defense" was the first book written in English about T'ai Chi Ch'uan. He served as the president of the Chinese Medical Association and his paintings are preserved in the National Palace Museum in Taipei.
