A new website, aipingcheng.com, documents the lifetime achievements of a great Tai Chi Grandmaster. It’s a wonderful resource with videos and photographs spanning decades of elite wushu and tai chi.
Master Aiping learned from an early age from some of the most illustrious masters of the twentieth century, including Fu Zhongwen, Sun Jianyun, and Li Tianji. She went on to become a many-time tournament champion and a charter and long-term member to the Chinese national team.
In the latter third of her career, she has been a beloved and influential teacher to many, many American students. I can attest that Master Aiping is a wonderful teacher—she spent the last two years of her teaching career here in Austin, amazingly just a couple of miles from my house. Here she is, teaching in slow motion one night in class at The Asian American Cultural Center.
Many professional athletes suffer long-term physical damage from their sports–football players come to mind, and ballet dancers. A lifetime of tai chi will have you moving like this in your golden years!
Master Aiping is semi-retired now, but the website brings her long and illustrious career to life. Take a look! aipingcheng.com
