Yang Shouzhong began training in the Yang style of tai chi at age 8. By age 14, he had begun to work with his father as a teaching assistant and at age 19 he was already teaching tai chi to government officials around China. In 1949 he fled to Hong Kong where he stayed for the remainder of his life teaching privately mostly out of his home on Lockhart Road on Hong Kong Island. He appointed three disciples: Ip Tai Tak (1st and Chief Disciple (Hong Kong), Gin Soon Chu (2nd Disciple, U.S.), Chu King Hung (3rd Disciple, Europe). Yang Shouzhong is survived by his three daughters: Tai Yee, Ma Lee and Yee Li who currently also reside in Hong Kong.
