YouTube - Master Chen Bing's Push Hand 3

ist der Demopartner Michael Rosario-Graycar. Er ist Schüler von u.a. Chen Bing (womit, wenn man so argumentieren will, er automatisch "unglaubwürdig" wird ). Jedenfalls lässt es sich vermuten, daß gute Gründe hatte, Schüler von ihm zu werden bzw. mit Taijiquan anzufangen:

Michael Rosario-Graycar has been studying martial arts on and off for over 25 years. He started learning boxing at a very early age, and it became a big part of his life, since his father and uncle were both avid fans and Light-weight Champion Edwin "Chapo" Rosario was his dad’s cousin. He learned all about the sport and street usage of boxing. At around 6 years of age, his brother started training him in Karate-do and further enhanced his training in boxing. Also, he learned all about the foundation of H.S/ Collegiate wrestling. His father also taught him a lot about knife and stick-fighting.

As he grew up, martial arts were less prominent in his teens but around 18, Michael started back full earnest. He tried many styles, including Shotokan Karate, Aiki-jujitsu, Aikido, Judo, Jun Fan/Jeet Kune Do and Escrima. Then, he settled into Traditional Wing Chun Gung Fu as taught by Sigung William Cheung. While there, he earned a brown sash or Assistant Instructorship. He also learned some Gracie Jiujitsu during this time.

About 8 months after he started Wing Chun (1996), Michael met and started studying Taijiquan (Taiji/Tai Chi Chuan) in Philadelphia, PA under Master Ren, Guangyi, senior disciple of Grandmaster Chen, Xiaowang. (Master Ren lived in Chen village for 10 years and has over 20 years devoted to Chen style Taijiquan.) After about 3 ½ years of doing Wing Chun, he gave up training with his Wing Chun Sifu (but not the style) and devoted himself full-time to Chen style training.

In addition to teaching Taijiquan, Michael has been offering Security Services for personal and restaurant/entertainment businesses in the Philadelphia area for several years. He also has trained numerous people in the Law Enforcement and Bodyguard/ Security professions.


Ich frage trotzdem weiter nach, ob er selber or andere, die vor Ort waren, aussagen möchten, in wie fern die Demopartner sich selbst durch die Gegend geworfen haben, um Chen Bing gut aussehen zu lassen.
