Yang Shou-chung (1910-85)

Yang Cheng-fu's eldest son.
JK studied him him in 1978.
Strange how Yang style masters all seem to die at 75 (Ip Tai Tak as well as CMC & CCT).
So much for longevity.

By the way Yang is pronounced Yung or Young or Yeung or Yong, never with a short 'a'.

I heard that Wu style is better for health and longevity. But then a lot of these guys may have grown up on a very poor diet.

Yes, these Tai Chi masters really should learn to relax a bit more.
