My Art: The Life and Times of T'ai Chi Master, T.T. Liang
- by Stuart Alve Olson Part 1 is about his personal and martial
life (a career as a high-ranking government official, street fights
and shootouts, opium dens and prostitutes, mystical martial arts
masters and monks). Part 2 is about his insights and contributions
to Tai Chi forms (the 150 posture form, and the 78 posture two-person
form). Part 3 is devoted to his well known humorous side. Also
includes Liang's personal insights on other masters with whom
he met or studied with, including Chen Man-ch'ing and Yang Cheng
Fu.
