The Teacher

Tai Chi Chuan in Mancos, Colorado!

Lee Cloy is a long time student of martial arts since the late 1960s.

Lee has been studying Tai Chi Chuan since the mid 1980s. The style is from the Yang family of China as modified by Cheng Man-ching and his student Tao Ping-siang. Lee began teaching in the early 1990s after being told by his teacher, Tao Ping-siang, “you must teach now  so you may learn more from me in the future.” My teacher is gone to the next world, but his words and movements are ever with me! It is uncanny at times when I catch myself explaining a movement and its function, then it dawns on me how at that moment I sound like him!

I am still the student and exploring the depths of Tai Chi Chuan!!!
