YANG LU-CHAN & HO SHAO CHI
ARE THE INSPIRATION FOR THIS SITE
Grand Master Yang Lu-chan, the creator of the Yang style Tai Chi Chuan, was born in 1799.
Another great artist Ho Shao-chi was also born in 1799 and is quoted saying:
"When I write I always suspend my wrist, holding my brush witha strength that comes from my heel, travels through my body and appears from my finger-tips. The energy of my whole body is concentrated in the fingers
and then moves my brush. Not half finished, I would be soaking in sweat"
Ho Shao-chi
1799-1873
"I imagine these two as friends who shared a lot with each other and the world. They lived in the past, for the present and guide us into the future.
Immortals indubitably."
Bill Bernsen
This site is also a celebration of their bicentennal.
