Watch Cheng Man Ch'ing or videos from TCF

The video on this page is original film of Cheng Man Ch'ing - the master who brought our Tai Chi out of China in the early 1960s. 

To see more videos of our current senior TCF teachers demonstrating our Tai Chi form, click on this link to TCF's website: taichifoundation.org/videos 

We are still taught by the most senior TCF teachers at our regular teacher trainings. We call them "legacy holders" because they are our direct link to Cheng Man Ch'ing, via one of his senior students in the US, Patrick Watson, who personally taught them. 

Patrick Watson already had a long history in various martial arts when in 1966 he began to study with Cheng Man Ch'ing. After Professor Cheng’s death in 1975, Patrick founded the School of Tai Chi Chuan specifically to train new teachers. He guided STCC's international growth until his death in 1992. STCC later became the TCF.
