   TT Liang
   I’ve been getting your emails for several months and, frankly, don’t usually look at them. Today, you mentioned and I watched your talk on T. T. Liang. I first started doing Tai Chi in Boston, at the Y in the combat zone. I moved away after six months and never learned the whole of pushing hands. I gradually quit doing tai chi because I lost confidence that I was doing it correctly.

   I started it up again at a senior center in New Port Richey, FL where I now do the Chang style. I still have my two TT books and intend to (I don’t always follow through with my intentions) continue where I left off in pushing hands.

   I am not sure, but I think the young “assistant,” who led the group, may have been named Bruce. Any way, thanks for the video. I will certainly be paying more attention to your emails……..Dave

   Hello Bruce,
   I was smiling greatly after watching your interview about Master TT Liang. When I met you in the 80’s in Virginia at The Taste of China, you gave an amazing demo of Ba Kua. You hurled Sam Masich around like a rag and later in the week were wonderfully open about training ideas and offered much to just about anyone who wished to “play”.

   I was surprised to learn however from this interview that I had met you before. I had attended what was then the “Bamboo Hut” in Boston. Trained there with Master Liang, Bow Sim Mark and John Chung Li. They took me to William Chen who I had trained with for many many years.

   Thanks for the e mails as they offer much. I will be looking forward to you coming back to the US where I can enjoy a class or two.
   Stay well,
   Tony Suarez

   Thanks a lot for that. Must go read his autobiography now, as I’ve had it tucked away for some time.
   Take care.

   And…. he always had a pot of soup cooking on the little two burner hotplate in his studio (The Huntington Ave studio in 1972). As well as a wet sponge handy where, between teaching me moves, he would swipe dust kitties off the floor. Truly a remarkable, funny teacher and great human being.
