A short biography of Master Tung
Master Tung Kai Ying, a third generation T'ai Chi Ch'uan master,
began studying T'ai Chi Ch'uan at the age of eight, in the Chinese
traditional method of early childhood training.
Taught by his grandfather and father, Master Tung quickly grasped the principles
of T'ai Chi Ch'uan, not only making rapid progress, but demonstrating immense
talent at an early age. Because of his natural aptitude, Master Tung's
grandfather gave him the name "Kai Ying." "Ying" being from his grandfather's
name "Ying Chieh," and "Kai" meaning to succeed, "Kai Ying" may be interpreted
to mean "one who succeeds his grandfather in the T'ai Chi Ch'uan tradition."
Fifty years ago Tung Kai Ying's grandfather first established the Tung Ying
Chieh T'ai Chi Ch'uan Gymnasium in Hong Kong. From there, branches of the
Gymnasium were introduced throughout Southeast Asia.
Under the guidance of his grandfather, Master Tung was dean and chief instructor
in the Gymnasium. In 1962, he was invited to teach in Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur,
and Singapore; later he taught in Bangkok, Thailand. Master Tung Kai Ying is
held in great respect everywhere he has taught, due to his indefatigable
earnestness in giving instruction. His students throughout Asia number in the
thousands.
At his best with the T'ai Chi sword, Master Tung has appeared at many festivals,
demonstrating his unique posture and movements. One sees him stepping now to the
left, now to the right forward and backward, his gleaming sword slicing the air
with its razor edge. while his stance is solid and strong, his movements are
light and graceful. Eyes flashing, precise steps dictate the flow of motion as
his body turns in every direction. The waving sword, twirling in his hands,
seems at once like the patter of rain, the darting of a swallow, or again, like
a drifting cloud. Suddenly, it thrusts and strikes, swiftly and accurately,
displaying a fascination and charm.

In 1969; Master Tung Kai Ying went to Hawaii to assist his father,
Master Tung Hu Ling, in teaching T'ai Chi Ch'uan. Subsequently, in 1971, Master
Tung moved to Los Angeles where he established Kai Ying Tung's Academy of T'ai
Chi Ch'uan, where any willing and sincere student may receive instruction in
this traditional Chinese martial art.
In China, Master Tung's birthplace, the Tung style of T'ai Chi Ch'uan is well
known and has become popular throughout Asia owing to the eminence of his
grandfather. Now, in accordance with his grandfather's wishes, Master Tung is
familiarizing the Western world with the many benefits of T'ai Chi Ch'uan.
About T'ai Chi Ch'uan Master Tung says, "The goal is not to demonstrate
strength, power or violence. The goal is to attain serenity, tranquility, and
the discovery of oneself. It is truly an exercise of the spirit".
