You
fabulously big lineage queen.
Not sure what you mean cdobe, would be interesting to see the differences between what CTH practiced including apps and techniques, such as flying flower palm 飛花掌 and what his uncle Cheng Wing Kwong and the Wu´s in Hong Kong originally practiced which could be down to what CTH learnt from Qi Min-xuan. Cheng Tin-hung first learned Tai Chi Chuan from his uncle, Cheng Wing-kwong, who was one of only three "inside the door" students of Wu Jian-chuan in Hong Kong. His uncle taught widely in South East Asia, particularly in Malaysia. However, Chen Wing-kwong later brought Qi Min-xuan from Henan Province to teach his sons and nephews. Later CWK asked CTH to correct him on various applications and techniques he had learnt from QMX, including some of the missing yin yang 24 nei gong.
As far as the UK goes props to Ian Cameron, Dans older Tai Chi brother for helping to spread the art from Hong Kong but as far as the apps and techniques demonstrated here the lineage question is straight foward, well at least to me, no elements from Wu style teacher in the UK. Neil a student of Dan Docherty who learnt from Cheng Tin Hung.
