The history of Tai Chi dates back more than fifteen centuries and the art as we know it today can be traced to Chen Wang Ting (1597-1664), 9th generation of the Chen family.
Chen Chang Hsiang(14th generation), transmitted the art to Yang Lu-Chan, the founder of the Yang school. His grandson Yang Cheng-Fu made the art popular all over China in the twenties and thirties, and had many famous pupils including Cheng Man-Ching (1900-1975), whose style is taught by Peter Phipps in Adult Education Centres locally.
Peter also studies with Chen Xiao Wang (19th generation), the present head of Chen Style Tai Chi and Wang Haijun.
