This is a video of my beloved late master Zhang Zhen Hwa of Shanghai , an inner circle student of Mater Fu Zhong Wen (one of Master Yang Cheng Fu's top disciple), selflessly sharing the internal knowledge of Yang Style Tai Chi Push Hands with 2 Soul Tai Chi & Bagua practitioners (the first African American gentleman is Sifu Rudy Curry jr of Queens, NY, a renowned teacher of various Chinese Martial Arts) who truthfully demonstrates the nature of inner peace, and at the same time, tearing down the barrier of culter and race! Master Zhang at the time was in his late 70s and weighed a mere 110 lbs; this video was filmed in Kissena Park, Fresh Meadows, NY, Where Mr. Zhang would teach Tai Chi and push hands every morning, regardless of weather conditions, except for days of heavy rain, all the way through his late 80s! In spite of his age of the time, the skill set he had demonstrated in the art of Yang Tai Chi was inspirational!
I would also like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to late uncle Ernie (The gentleman who was standing in the background, wearing a white jacket & white cap), he was master Zhang's most loyal student and one of the most honorable man I have ever known! He was always there to support master's teachings, all the way to the very end. I would never forget Master Zhang's heart breaking reaction at the time of loosing him, and the pain never faded away for my master. Please R.I.P. uncle Ernie!
God this video brings back so much memories of training with master Zhang at Kissena Park, being Master Zhang's ending disciple, I'm humbled, honored and grateful at the same time! I pray for the courage to carry on the torch!
I hope the friends of Tai Chi will enjoy this video and wish you all the best!
