Liang Tung-Tsai (T. T. Liang) (1900-2002) is commonly known as the senior disciple of famous T'ai-Chi Master, Professor Cheng Man-Ch'ing, but he was known to have studied from at least eight certified lineage holders of the Yang style system, as well as other prominent masters of Hsing-Yi, Pa Kua Chang, Tang Lang Ch'uan (praying mantis), Shaolin Ch'uan, and Chi Na.

Master Liang is one of the few T'ai Chi masters to preserve the entire set of traditional weapons forms, as well as expanding this curriculum with his own innovations adapted from various Shaolin weapons practices and his diverse martial arts experience. He was also a gifted scholar in both the Chinese and English languages, studying Chaucer and Dickens at American Universities. All of this helped ensure that his translations of the T'ai-Chi classics as published in his 1973 book "T'ai-Chi Ch-uan for Health and Self Defense" were unsurpassed in their clarity and insight.

Master Wai-Lun Choi is a living legend of Martial Arts. Born in 1939, he began studying Lama at the age of 18 under Chan Keun Ng, and later took on Muay Thai, Judo, and Northern Shaolin.

In 1962, he became aware of the internal arts (T'ai Chi Ch'uan, Pa Kua Chang, Hsing-I Chuan, and Hsing-I Li Ho Pa Fa) as taught by Grand Master Chan Yik-Yan, and after an entire year of entertaining Master Chan, during which time he was not allowed to speak of Martial Arts, Master Chan accepted him as a pupil.

After defeating Wong "Crazy Horse" Chai Leung in the 1971 Southeast Asian Hand-to-Hand Martial Arts Tournament in a spectacular display of skill and power, Grand Master Chan named Master Choi the successor to and head of the Hsing-I Liu Ho Ba Fa System.
