2) More color film shot in Taiwan (probably late 1960s or early 1970s) of J. J. Soong performing a different saber form.
3) More color film from Taiwan (different venue) of Mr. Soong and a student (?) performing a two-person saber matching set.
4)Film of Liang, Tung-tsai (T. T. Liang) demonstrating T’ai-chi Ch’uan applications at a public performance (probably filmed in Boston in the 1970s).

15) Two young men demonstrate leg sweeps and high circle kicks.
16) T. T. Liang and a student demonstrate the Yang T’ai-chi two-person matching set (sometimes referred to as Sanshou).
17) In the same venue, T. T. Liang demonstrates the sword form known as “Tamo Sword”, one of his specialties.
18) In the same venue, T. T. Liang demonstrates another of his weapon specialties: a double-sword form. Even though Mr. Liang is elderly here, his handwork (i.e., handling of the sword) is impressive.

Liang, featuring Inoch Yu, Mr. Liang, and others introducing T’ai-chi. There are scenes of Mr. Yu demonstrating the 37 Posture form created by Cheng Man-ch’ing, of Mr. Liang and Mr. Yu demonstrating the Sanshou two-person matching set, of Mr. Liang demonstrating the solo sword form, and of Mr. Yu and Mr. Liang demonstrating applications of the sword techniques in San Tsai Sword Fencing.

22) Mr. Liang’s senior students demonstrate a two-person sanshou matching set.
23) Jonathan Russell (?) demonstrates on the circle what is probably the so-called “Original Style” Pa Kua Chang form of Chiang Jung-Ch’iao, who called this style “original” to distinguish it from a later version that he created.
24) Two senior students (possibly Ray Hayward and Paul Abdella?) perform two-man applications.
25) Paul Abdella (?) demonstrates a sword form.
26) Ray Hayward (?) demonstrates some kind of sword form.
27) A Japanese Aikido Sensei dressed in a formal hakama teaches a class of westerners in a gymnasium. Various student-teacher demos and applications are performed.
28) This segment, probably filmed in Hong Kong in the 1950s or 1960s, begins with a formal reception for a visiting elderly dignitary, who is probably Tung Ying-chieh (the scholar-scribe and student of Yang Cheng-fu who ghost-wrote Yang’s first book and who took his T’ai-chi Ch’uan to Hong Kong, where it became famous as Tung [or Dong in pinyin] Style) to distinguish it from the T’ai-chi taught in Hong Kong by Yang’s son, Yang Sau-chung. After greetings from dignitaries in long, traditional robes, a reception, the presentation of flowers, and group photos, Grandmaster Tung demonstrates his version of the long Yang T’ai-chi bare-handed form outside against the backdrop of a fence.
29) A brief movie clip.
30) A Chinese man (the image quality is so poor that it is difficult to identify him—it may possibly be Yang Cheng-fu’s son Yang Sau-chung or it may be Tung Ying-chieh’s son Tung Hu-ling. At any rate, the performer shows the traditional long Yang T’ai-chi Ch’uan bare-handed form.
31) This segment is labeled “1960 in Bangkok, Thailand” but the performer is not identified. My guess is that it is probably Tung Hu-ling. The performer shows the sword form. Because of the grouping of these segments, this is likely all Tung Family T’ai-chi.
32) The image quality here is poor, but judging from the man’s body type and movement quality, my guess again is that this might be Tung Hu-ling. The performer shows the double-edged sword form in a sandy lot with palm trees in the background, so this could be Southeast Asia or Hawaii. Because of the grouping of these segments, this is likely Tung Family T’ai-chi. (My notes seem to indicate that there might have been a title here reading “Dong’s School of T’ai-chi Ch’uan”.)
33) This is the same performer on the same day, this time showing the T’ai-chi saber form.
34) This might possibly be what is known as the Tung (Dong) Family “Fast Form” of T’ai-chi Ch’uan. This is done in a grassy, park-like setting probably somewhere in Southeast Asia. At first, the performer, (perhaps Tung Hu-ling) does the movements of what might be the so-called “fast form” in slow motion. In the same camera cut, he next does some kind of slow T’ai-chi Ch’uan form, but it does not look like the traditional Yang form.
35) Finally, the same performer (probably Tung Hu-ling?) shows applications of T’ai-chi Ch’uan postures against two student attackers. I have a commercially available video distributed by Alex Tung (Dong) containing different footage of Tung Ying-chieh and other Tung family members demonstrating form and applications, but the footage in that commercial video differs from that which is on this disk. I am curious about the source of these films, especially the Hong Kong (?) footage of the elderly Tung Ying-chieh.
