About the Author
Cheng Man Ch'Ing (1900-1975) was a renowned Chinese scholar, artist, and martial arts master whose profound contributions to T'ai Chi Ch'uan have influenced generations of practitioners worldwide. A polymath with expertise in traditional Chinese medicine, calligraphy, painting, and poetry, he simplified the Yang-style T'ai Chi form into a 37-posture sequence that emphasized internal energy cultivation and practical self-defense. As a direct disciple of Yang Cheng-fu, Cheng blended classical teachings with his innovative insights, authoring seminal works that demystified the art's philosophical and technical depths. His legacy endures through students who spread his method globally, promoting T'ai Chi as a path to health, harmony, and spiritual enlightenment.
