Tai Chi Articles
C.P. Ong
CP Ong is a friend and colleague who is a PHD in mathematics from Berkeley. He is a Chinese from Thailand. He facilitated the famous 4 Chen Masters as they came to the US and started to teach seminars. CP would provide them a place to stay between stops and would attend many of their meetings as a translator. He was an indoor disciple of Chen Zhenglei and then what is unusual also was an indoor disciple of Chen Xiaowang.
He has a great book out you can get on Amazon called Taijiquan “Cultivating Inner Strength” by CP Ong. It is a good book. CP is able to use his education in anatomy and physics to try and put the difficult things to understand about Neijia and qi in a more understandable simple fashion. Some of the reads are tough for some but I think he has done a good job in explanation.
