Pittsburgh

I am contemplating a move to Pittsburgh and would like to find an experienced and serious T'ai Chi Ch'uan group and/or instructor there or nearby. I have been most recently a long-time student of the late Master Yu Cheng-Hsiang of NYC. Master Yu's approach was hyper-traditional and martial. That is kind of what I am looking for.

Based on experience with students, I'd recommend Zhang Yun (Yin Cheng Gong Fa), www.ycgf.org . The taijiquan is northern (Beijing) Wu style through the late Wang Peisheng, Zhang's teacher. Actual usage is a continuous theme of their practice.
Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterward.

If you are looking for something more in line with the Yang style you're familiar with, Glenn Hairston might have something to offer. I don't have direct experience with him or his students.

Thanks. I actually met Master Wang many years ago when he visited my teacher in NYC, Yu Cheng Hsiang. Those two together were really something.
