Editor's note: Since I was teenager, I've been studying Tai Chi Chuan and martial arts with one of Professor Cheng Man-Ching's best known students, Grandmaster William C. C. Chen. When I explained to him about wanting to build a well-edited, inexpensive video streaming channel for pooling together the best paid Tai Chi and martial arts content from all styles, he was kind enough to be the first to contribute his commercial DVDs and private video collection.
