Master Tse’s Taiji Fist 107

Chen Wang Ting 陳王廷 part 44

The old man got up quickly and jumped up to kick Chen Wang Ting 陳王廷. Chen Wang Ting knew the old man’s kick was very strong and stepped back to avoid it. Having missed the old man wanted to try another kick, but Chen Wang Ting stepped closer and used his Taijiquan Kao Jing 靠勁(shoulder power) to slam the old man’s chest with his shoulder. The old man fell down again, but this time much harder and it took him longer to get back up! Now Chen Wang Ting was ready for his next attack! But this time the old man suddenly put his hands together and bowed as if paying his respects to Chen Wang Ting. The old man said, “I am sorry, Brother Wang Ting!” This change was a surprise to Chen Wang Ting and Jiang Fa 蔣發. The old man continued, “Brother Wang Ting, you have passed all the tests we had set up for you. You were so impressive! I have heard about you for a while and really wanted to see your skill. Even though you had passed all the tests, I still wanted to try for myself! But now I have been defeated and I surrender to your skill. My name is Xiong Rou Hu 熊若虎, from East Gate 關東.”
