The original Chen style Tai Chi is fast approaching extinction, with only a few surviving Masters capable of teaching the complete system. McNeil's teacher, the legendary Pan Wing Chow, is featured in this DVD demonstrating segments of the lost original form as well as performing an awe-inspiring push hands demonstration. The Chen style features 13 sections and 64 moves in a two part series.
