One Hand Video: China's Living Treasures Series

It's been decades since it started. This series was one of the first high quality presentations of CMA in the video format. Often hidden among rip offs, the less-than-inspired efforts of Ohara and Unique, and other un-noteworthy efforts; the One Hand Video series lived up to its name by recording true "Living Treasures". They pay their talent and have therefore attracted teachers, the foremost being the famous George Xu, of truly superior quality. NOW they have started to convert their substantial stock to DVD FORMAT. These are what's available and, as times passes, we hope to expand our offering. Buy with confidence.

In the case of Tai Chi, Du Yi-Tze— a student of Chen FaKe's father and acknowledged as one of the best Chen stylists in Taiwan— taught Adam Hsu. The style is direct, compact and powerful. It bears the closest resemblance to the newly recaptured Chen Tai Chi 108 Long Fist. Its powerful and martial attitude is undiluted: showing no postural weaknesses. Definitely a martial version.
