I didn't think much just watching his students, but when we started doing partner work I found many of them to be very good.

Interesting as well. Thank you again for taking time, and also for trying to make your teacher justice.

You're very welcome as always. I think good teachers need to be recognized.

Saying they were the "real deal"

How would you characterize this.. :)

Did they use the movements from their training
Did they have some thing that would indicate they had trained using this method

Could you separate the method from the person using the method.....ect...

Curious :P

Fighty stuff and movement quality. The most notable case was a petite middle-aged woman who had polio as a youth. Tung family taiji was the only martial art she ever did, and she was formidable, to say the least. She was also a good teacher-- everything she showed was very practical and down to earth. There was no guessing or waiting for some sort of magic to happen when what she taught would suddenly become useful.

One of the Tungs used to come to Denver to teach back in the day, and I knew several of the people who were around and active during that time. Lots of good skill from those people, and some good stories, too.
