Professor Cheng Man Ching (鄭曼青) was a student of the Yang Style Tai Chi master Yang Cheng Fu (楊澄甫). He was known as a Master of Five Excellences for his skills in martial arts, medicine, painting, poetry, and calligraphy.
After many years of study at Professor Cheng’s Shr Jung (時中) school in Manhattan, Wolfe Lowenthal founded Long River Tai Chi Circle. Long River now reaches communities in the US, Scotland, England, Spain, France, Czechia, Colombia, and Canada.
