Yáng Shǒuzhōng
Yang, Sau Chung (1910-1985), was the eldest son of Grandmaster Yang Cheng Fu. He started learning his family style when he was 8 years old under the strict supervision of his father. At 14, he started to assist his father in teaching Tai chi chuan. By the age of 19, he was travelling throughout China with his father to assist in teaching Tai chi.
In truth, many people who have claimed to learned from Yang, Cheng Fu actually learned from Yang, Sau Chung. In 1949, he moved to Hong Kong, and he taught privately at his home until his death in 1985.
His dedication to Yang Family Tai Chi Chuan was as equally committed as his father, grandfather Yang Chien Hou, and his great grandfather Yang Lu Chan; and, as a result, he achieved one of the highest levels.
Yang Sau Chung passed on the family transmission to his First Disciple, Ip Tai Tak, (1958) and his three daughters, Amy - Tai Yee, Mary - Ma Lee and Agnes -- Yee-Li. He also accepted two other Disciples - Chu Gin Soon (1977) and Chu King Hung (1983).
Master Ip Tai Tak was taught the Yang Family's System (now it's called Snake System) and became Master Yang's practice partner for the next 28 years. Ip Tai Tak has two Disciples, John Ding and Bao Tak Fai (Robert Boyd).

John Bracy demos and explains internal power striking for the internal martial arts. This type of FA JIN is not a push or "bounce back." The strike releases internal energy into the opponent's body. As shown in the video, Bruce Lee was a master of the first kind of internal power - that based on "vertical alignment" and instant weight transfer from the back to the front leg (vertical spring power).
Briefly introduced here and described on our website:
The second type of power is based on Taoist yogic principles that trigger bio-electric fields in and around the body. This allows for "disruptive information" to merge with technique that can for a split second weaken the opponent. It is the best explanation so far to explain the uncanny abilities of the most famous "light touch" masters such as Morihei Ueshiba, Wang Xiangzhai, Yang Chen-fu, and others.
