Chungliang Al Huang, a blast from the past

[RickMatz]

Back in the 80's, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chungliang_Al_Huang did his part in popularizing taijiquan within the Human Potential movement.

I saw him in Munich, Gasteig, 1979, in a tight overall with neon stripes, all lights out, only he moving in black light, was a great show.
Always respected him as an artist, a dancer, but not really a martial artist. He did stimulate me to look further.

[Doc Stier]

I remember him. If I recall correctly, he was also a professional dancer who hosted Tai-Chi seminars for the beautiful people at Big Sur in California back in the 1970's. His book also enjoyed considerable popularity as one of the few English language books on Tai-Chi at that time. I still have a First Edition copy here somewhere in my huge home library collection.

Completed Alan Watt's Watercourse Way after Watts passed - he also did calligraphy and worth a read when one gets too obsessed with martial side of the art - his mother practiced bajiquan mentioned in one his books LOL

He was funny then even funnier now
He led a lot of hippies down a false path
