The Professor: Tai Chi's Journey West

Description

The Professor is a documentary about Tai Chi and one of
its great masters, Cheng Man-Ching, a man who brought Tai Chi and Chinese
culture to the West during the swinging, turbulent 60s. Featuring a rich array
of vintage archival footage, the film tells the story of his remarkable life
and features Tai Chi as a martial art and a spiritual practice. Review “Very
moving. It reveals how completely universal and accessible Tai Chi is to
anyone. A perfect martial art for this time of fear and anger.” –Julie Taymor
“For those of us who study these arts and are certainly familiar with
Professor Cheng Man-Ching, the chance to see any footage of him in action at
all is a real treat. Excellent.” –AV Maniacs
