    Gordon Feng, student of Fu Zhongwen, teaches in San Francisco, CA.

    An interview with him discussing his views on Tai Chi and his training with Fu Zhongwen is in my book "Nei Jia Quan, Second Edition" by Jess O'Brien

    Thanks guys . I tried to look up Gordon Feng but could not find anything on him.
    I have heard of Master Liu and see he has learned from Master Fu but no details on what he learned from Master Fu .

    I know he had learned among other things the Yang 108 form as well as the yang sword form from fu zhong wen. i also saw his video that he recorded of him demonstrating both of those forms near the end of his life.

    Remember oasis Master Fu Zhongwen said the hand form is 85 postures not 108.
    Keeping Master Fu's Methods and teachings as he trained we have to follow his teachings otherwise others will think you have added or deleted or dont know his methods. It would be nice to find someone that knows and promote what I call old school taiji as Master Fu taught.

    DMK, my teacher referred to it as the 85 form and even gave us a handout from fu sheng yuan's school listing the 85 movements. i simply have gotten use to calling it 108 since so many others who practice this same form simply count the movements differently.

    Rockwood,
    I finally got a chance to read Mr.Feng interview, but was impressed by Mr. William Lewis interview . For me his teaching style and training lines up for what I would be looking for even though he teaches hsing yi.

    From my understanding, Fu Zhongwen was the one responsible for spreading Yangshtaijiquan as is seen today but when the social climate 'improved', the Yang surnamed group took over.
    I am familiar with the 'rice bowl' sphere, but more credit should be given to Fu Zhongwen for the birth of the Yongnian Foundation that allowed for Yang style to proliferate. Whether Yang Family, Yang Style, Yang etc ., that is a different matter
