520 1 |a "Having the incredible good fortune of being born, as he says, in "interesting times," T.T. Liang has lived through a century that included two world wars and the decline of the Ching dynasty through the post-Mao era. His life bridges the industrial and technological revolutions. Born in China in 1900 amid abject poverty, he later attained great wealth, position, and power. Liang studied T'ai Chi Ch'uan in Taiwan with Professor Cheng Man Ch'ing for more than twenty years, becoming his Ta Shih Hsiung (Chief and First Disciple). Stories of his years with Professor Cheng describe a great and close relationship, as well as a rocky and difficult one. In the 196Os, Liang retired from his job in China as the second highest ranking officer in British customs and came to the United States to teach T'ai Chi - an occupation that then lacked respect in most Westerner's eyes. With little money and no position of authority, he experienced a radical change. Not only has Mr. Liang lived more than one hundred years in great health, but his life has been amazingly rich and varied in experience." "More than a biography of Liang's life, Steal My Art also explains both the history and development of his teachings. These include his 150-Posture T'ai Chi Dance and 78-Posture Two-Person Dance - the mainstays of his skills and expression of his true genius. Also presented are his Ten Guiding Principles, which he considers the core of studying and practicing T'ai Chi, as well as a guide for living."--BOOK JACKET.
