With respect to Da Lu, it was my understanding that Da Lu was teaching his Tai Chi at the UN he invited Professor Cheng Man-Ch'ang to teach with him. When Cheng Man-Ch'ang opened his studio downtown, most, if not all, of the students left Da Lu and followed Cheng Man-Ch'ang. Da Lu believed that Chang Man-Ch'ang stole his students. Now I am unaware whether Da Lu was a student of Cheng Man-Ch'ang or not, but Da Lu was a good Tai Chi practitioner with sticking ability. However, Da Lu was more interested in making money than teaching Tai Chi Chuan to his students. As a student of any discipline it is good to keep in mind as Mr. BP Chan always said: "Follow the principles not the teacher."

How come he didn’t mention TT Liang, CMG’s #1 disciple who came with CMG to New York to interpret for him

[@NilsKlug]

Maybe he wasn’t around that time.

@@NilsKlug Hello, Love Your vids. I know that when CMG passed away, quite a few of the New York students visited Master Liang. I am currently studying with one of the Lineage Holders of Master Liang who was around at that time.

Great interview series!A piece of history, but not quite accurate has Ken say Da Lu was a student of Professor but he never was!
