About
Tung Ying-chieh or Dong Yingjie (8 November 1898 – 1961) was an influential teacher of t'ai chi ch'uan. He was born in Hebei, China. A senior student of Yang Chengfu (1883–1936), he originally studied Wu (Hao)-style t'ai chi ch'uan as a young man. Tung also studied with Chengfu's older brother Yang Shao-hou (1862–1930) and was the founder of Tung Tai Chi. In Shao-hou's classes he was an older classmate of the Wu-style's Wu Kung-i (1900–1970) and Wu Kung-tsao (1902–1983), and the men remained close colleagues in later years. Following the trend of many famous t'ai chi masters who moved south during the War years, Tung moved to Hong Kong in 1949 and taught Yang style there. The Tung style as it eventually developed included training features researched by Tung Ying-chieh, both with Yang Chengfu and independently.
