Tai Ji Quan 太极拳
Many styles / families of Tai Ji Quan can be found. The style practiced here is Zheng Man Qing or Chen Man Ching (郑曼青太极拳), which was derived from Yang Style Tai Ji Quan (杨式太极拳) .
The style was introduced into Penang, Malaysia, by the late Master Yap Siew Teng, from whom the late Master Png Chye Khim had learned the art.
The style is well-known with the shortened routine called 37-Posture Tai Ji Quan (三十七式太极拳) or Zheng Zi Tai Ji Quan (郑子太极拳). The late Master Yap introduced additional 18-postures routine (后十八式) that follows the 37-posture routine. The additional routine includes the postures from traditional long routine that are not found in the 37-posture routine. Today practitioners descended from the lineage of the late Master Yap still practice 37-posture routine followed with the additional 18-posture routine, a hallmark of Zheng Zi Tai Ji Quan as transmitted by the late Master Yap, also a unique form of practice found only in Malaysia.
