Yang Chen-Fu —> Han Ching-Tang —> Li Mao-Ching -—> Dr.Yang Ywing Ming

Excerpt from "Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming:"
YMAA wrote:At the age of sixteen, Dr. Yang began the study of Taijiquan (Yang Style) under Master Kao, Tao (高濤). Dr. Yang's tai chi can be traced back to the Yang family through Master Kao's teacher Yue, Huanzhi (樂奐之), an indoor disciple of Yang, Chengfu (楊澄甫). After learning from Master Kao, Dr. Yang continued his study and research of Taijiquan with Master Li, Mao-Ching (李茂 清) and training partner Mr. Wilson Chen in Taipei. Master Li learned his Taijiquan from the well-known Master Han, Ching-Tang, and Mr. Chen learned his Taijiquan from Master Chang, Xiang-San. Dr. Yang has mastered the Taiji barehand sequence, pushing hands, the two-man fighting sequence, Taiji sword, Taiji saber, and Taiji Qigong.

Thanks for posting the demo by Li Maoching. Seeing it answers a few of my long-standing questions regarding YJM.

Yeah, doesn't it? Li was YJM's Longfist teacher. You can find clips of him performing Shaolin, longfist, tantui and other sets. You can see a distinct longfist flavour in his Tai Chi as well. More Shaolin mechanics and movement than Tai Chi, IMO.
