yeah the art i do is kind of an amalgam of a bunch of chinese arts and i think my teachers teacher called it closed crane and my teacher added some things to it and called it zhang tao or something. we do everything single weighted and we use sidecats a lot. if you guys want names and stuff i can give you them i just can't think of them offhand. i think i remember my teachers teacher was pete robinsons partner and pete robinson studied with what's his name, short little chinese mantis (i think) guy that's really well known. gen fu marc? (sorry about the spelling). my teachers teacher introduced the single weighted stepping and movement in the 70s in the US but no one liked it. i don't think tai chi was brought into the US until later. anyway if you guys want clarification on anything i can get it but i'm just trying to remember stuff i remember off the top of my head.
