The listing attempts
to show some differences by using exercise styling and merging :
CMC = Cheng Man-cheng

楊澄甫 Yang Cheng-Fu (1883 - 1936; 53 ) 108
forms 杨式 Yang Family 太極拳

郭琴舫 Kou, Ching-Fang [ 1915 -x, 87 ] was an very early
Taichi student of Grandmaster Cheng ManChing, on CMC; in a Tai chi Book there were 4 pictures of Pushhand by Grandmaster
Cheng and Master Kou during 1940's, I learned Boxing with him several years. He passed away at a supermarket in Rolandheight,
CA. I called to Master CC Chen immediately for the unfortunate news, they were very good friends.
陶玶誠, Tao Ping-siang, Dao Qi-jiang 陶炳祥 [1919-2006;
87 ] aka Dr. Tao.
Died December 2006, ? "early 90's"
[ As for Dr Tao's age at death, this is generally a problem, his passport age is more like the correct age
at 87; the Chinese often add three extra years... which would bring it to age
90 an honorific custom.]
His
name as 陶 玶 誠; does not appear in this 'official' lineage of 'teachers' from Wu Hi-hui
His death due to heart failure, which in general, seems to be common for LHBF practitioners; this being a casual observation;
my first teacher Li Chung also died of heart failure. This is why I have started to gather some data on life span and cause
of death comparing LHBF, Yiquan, and CMC Yang TaiChi-. Dr. Tao's history, place of birth and earlier years would help somewhat
if you know this data.
I know of through his contacts with NYC and William Chen; his
history
in Taiwan is not entirely clear to me. It is obvious that he did something to retain a very slim body. He is more well know for the
CMC Yang Taichi- than the LHBF. And I know he had a link to the Five Willows Group 五柳堂太極
梁董蔡 TT

Born in Ningpo, Hopei Province, a small town on the shores of the Yellow Sea in Eastern China. Friends in Boston, MA, USA

He taught the Liuhebafa form "zhu ji chuan" it was highly modified,
and using the power Xingyi and Bagua at its core. His version had less stepping and lower-body focus than the original, using
Yi Chuan’s relaxed stepping as opposed to Liuhebafa’s structured transitioning stances, and himself labeled it
the “active step version 活歩式” accordingly. Zhang wrote an in-depth book on Liuhebafa that
was published in 1990, the same year he died. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhang_Changxin/
