"In Tai Chi & Qigong breathing 

is far more than the exchange 

of atmospheric molecules."

Chen Wei Ming (1881-1958) was a top 

disciple of Yang Cheng Fu, one of 

only three to live with Yang while training. 

In 1925 Chen moved to Shanghai and 

opened his school, Zhi Rou Quan She 

(The Soft and Gentle Boxing School).

Chen's books are still considered important

and influential documents on the art 

of Tai Chi Chuan today. 

"Today is a perfect day 

for some tai chi & qigong...
