Review
------
2008 Martial Arts Publisher of the Year --NQA World Congress on
Qigong and TCM
Man of the Year 2007 --Inside Kung Fu magazine
Dr. Yang surely follows in the footsteps of the Yang style
founder Yang Lu-Chan, who also first studied the Shaolin hard
styles and later studied and mastered the soft style of
Taijiquan. Dr. Yang stimulates this tradition, which will surely
bear the fruit of high achievement within the martial arts.
