		Yang Chengfu (Hanyu Pinyin), or Yang Ch'eng-fu (Wade-Giles) (楊澄甫, 1883-1936) has been considered by many to be the best known teacher of Tai Chi Chuan (Taijiquan) to have ever lived.
		He was born into the famous Yang Taijiquan family, the son of Yang Chien-hou and grandson of Yang Lu-chan.
		With his older brother Yang Shaohou (楊少侯) and colleagues Wu Jianquan (吳鑑泉) and Sun Lutang (孫錄堂) was among the first teachers to offer Tai Chi Chuan instruction to the general public at the Beijing Physical Culture Research Institute from 1914 until 1928.

		Yang Shaohou (1862-1930), Yang Chengfu's elder brother, was also a famous wushu master who learnt most of his skills from his uncle Yang Banhou and, like his uncle, he was bellicose by nature.
		Yang Zhenji, his second son, is at present the chairman of the wushu association of the city of Handan in Hebei Province.
		Yang Zhenduo, the third son, is now teaching Tai Chi Chuan in the city of Taiyuan in Shanxi Province and is also the chairman of the Research Association of the Yang school of Tai Chi Chuan in that province.

	Yang Family, Yang Style by Sam Masich (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Master Yang said, "This is Yang Style Taijiquan not Yang Family Taijiquan." He went on further to explain that this was the creation of his fathers' students and that, while it adhered well to the principles of his father's teachings, it was not to be considered part of the Yang Family Taijiquan.
		Today, Yang Family Taijiquan as it is commonly conceived, is based on the Taijiquan of Yang Chengfu (1883-1936), who popularized the art throughout the 1920's and 30's.
		Yang Chengfu's direct descendants, as well as his nephew Fu Zhongwen (and Fu's son Fu Shenyuan and grandson James Fu) are the inheritors of Yang Family Taijiquan.

		The founder of Yang style was Yang Luchan (楊露禪), aka Yang Fukui (楊福魁) (1799-1872), who studied under Chen Changxing and later modified Chen style t'ai chi to produce Yang style.
		Thus, Yang Chengfu is largely responsible for systemizing and popularizing the Yang style t'ai chi widely practiced today.
		He absorbed the best of the Chen, Yang and Wu (Wu Yu Xiang) styles to develop his own style, which is characterized by small circular movements and high stances.

		After all, Yang Shaohou was a master of empty force, or lingkong jing, an art so advanced it is one of the top level arts of Shaolinquan itself.
		The Yang style Taijiquan as practised by the early Yang masters is after all only a subset of the internal arts.

		This seems to be a minor difference from the way Yang Zhenduo does this punch; his fist seems to be aligned more with the outer edge of the frame in the ending posture.
		A perhaps different thought I have is that I have been operating under the assumption that the Yangs have a form principle that dictates that the Jin point of a straight arm always ends up in line with the shoulder and that the Jin point of a curved arm lines up with the centerline.
		Although in the Yang form the left toes do not touch the ground, they do drop downward as the leg is drawn up from the knee.
