North Atlantic Books 2002, pages 76-77. </font> <br><br> <font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="4" color="330099"> <b>Master Huang Sheng Hsien</b> </font> <br><br> <font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3" color="330099"> &nbsp; &nbsp; One day in Taiwan the famous White Crane Kung Fu champion and teacher, Huang Sheng Hsien, went to meet Prof. Cheng.<br><br> &nbsp; &nbsp; Liang, who was present during their meeting, engaged Huang in Pushing-Hands and knocked him down almost immediately. Huang was both stunned and amazed. Liang said that he was like a small baby, and couldn t figure out why he was considered such a highly skilled kung fu master.<br><br> &nbsp; &nbsp; Huang, in typical Chinese fashion, quit his White Crane Kung Fu immediately and took up learning T ai Chi. Liang remembers not only Huang s true expression of humility, but his perseverance in learning T ai Chi. According to Liang, Huang spent seven years just learning the T ai Chi solo form in order to gain a root and develop his ch i. Then for an additional seven years he just had people push on him, so he could develop his yielding and neutralizing skills. Lastly, he spent another seven years pushing on people in order to learn how to issue. Huang s twenty-one-year learning program really impressed Mr. Liang.<br><br> &nbsp; &nbsp; Many times I heard Liang comment on how he considered Huang to be the best living T ai Chi master in the world, equalled only by one of Liang s other teacher, Wang Yen Nien. Liang showed me a film that was taken in Malaysia of Huang s famous match against a champion wrestler named Mr. Liao. In a decision of twenty-eight knockdowns to none, Huang soundly proved his T ai Chi skills before thousands of people.<br><br> &nbsp; &nbsp; Master Huang continued to reside in Malaysia until his death in 1995. He had thousands of students and was bestowed the nickname  The Grandfather of T ai Chi. Over the years Liang periodically received letters from Huang , wherein Huang would always humbly refer to Liang as his savior. What really impressed Liang the most about Huang was his unfailing trait of never speaking bad of others - no matter the rumor or situation. It was from Huang that Liang claims he learned the idea of  internally imagine yourself as already being a master of T ai Chi, but externally never express it to others. </font> <br><br> <center> <font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="2" color="330099"> FIN:  Steal My Art </font> </center> <br><br> <center> <a href="#top"> <img src="images/backtotop.gif" width="19" height="16" border="0" alt="back to top" title="back to top"> <img src="images/top.gif" width="25" height="20" border="0" alt="back to top" title="back to top"> </a> <br><br> <hr width="200"> </center> <br><br> </td> <td width=328 valign=top> <div align="center"> <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-6275377133301560"; /* 300x250, created 10/23/09 */ google_ad_slot = "6835732913"; google_ad_width = 300; google_ad_height = 250; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-6275377133301560"; /* 200x90, created 10/23/09 */ google_ad_slot = "5764256698"; google_ad_width = 200; google_ad_height = 90; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> </div> </td> </tr> </table> <table border="0" width=929 cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width=151 valign="top"> <center> <img src="images/left/song.gif" width="70" height="86" alt="song is the secret!" title="song is the secret!"> </center> </td> <td width=750> <center> <font face="arial, helvetica" size="1" color="000000"> <a href="index.html">HOME</a> / <a href="eabout.html"> ABOUT</a> / <a href="eclasses.html"> CLASSES</a> / <a href="econtact.html"> CONTACT</a> / <a href="elinks.html"> LINKS</a> / <a href="ephotos.html"> PHOTOS</a> / <a href="earticles.html"> ARTICLES</a> <br><br> Association of Tai Chi Huang Malaysia<br> P.O.
