This was in Kaushuing, Taiwan, where yje professor retreated after 1949 when communists took over. Believe the last character of his name was mis-spelt. He then travelled to New York to teach and was one of the first taichi pioneer. The professor suffered tuberculosis, cured by his taichi practice. The flag was Kumingtung flag of blue sky, white sun and red earth symbolizing the bloody battlefield in the revolution against Ching Dynasty in 1911.
For those looking for fights, his students and students' students like William CC Chen and Peter Ralston have placed highly in full contact competitions. Not pushing hands but real punches and kicks before the time of MMA and UFC.
讚！目前網路視頻上出現的，大師親自示範錄像中，是最年輕的一部！

Tks for post Steve! Awesome!
The description says it was taken when Cheng was 60-year old, since he was born in 1904 that would make this movie about 1964.
Tai cin e la ginnastica più completa che o mai fatto ringrazio il mio maestro che me la introdotta
Great historical footage from Professor Cheng in Taiwan possibly on the 50''s.
Where can I find this piece of history?
Thanks, Steve dragon.
太極拳，有其正宗要義，不僅僅是我們中華民族的智慧，更是人類修心的好途徑。
現今有些人，不擅太極拳，竟冒充宗師，還被初練格鬥的選手打趴，讓人把中國武術當笑話，真是侮辱！
武，止戈為武，太極拳之推手，可說是真正貫穿武的真諦！
輕盈心身，為主軸，與人對打，是次要的！
人類有治安，何必非要打鬥！
但治安，卻未必能保證心身不病！
太極拳，氣沉至腳，運行暢通，身強體健，心剛且純，才是生命所需！
Great. Thank you.
This is a rather old video, other than the one we saw in Chen late stage. This is likely more than 40 years old.
I could swear that is the Malaysian flag I saw. Are you sure this was in Taiwan?
Ok!
That looks like a young Ben Lo pushing hands near the end. Any confirmation on that?
我用了很長一段時間。看到。聽到你們的說明或念故事，但經常有念錯白字，如乾淨，都念成前淨。望能改進。
,,,能看到这老前背的武艺,的切是验证了很多,很多现代的一般,,,!!!,,,
前輩，不是前背。的確，不是的切。
楊式太極!
I think I've seen his form with almost no punching.
Maybe it was in Penang
It's the taiwanese flag
If this so good how come it ain't won any fights
This guy is full of it, wake up people!
Did you know him?
