About Bob Amacker
Robert Amacker (1944–2021) devoted more than fifty years to the study, practice, and teaching of Taijiquan, always seeking what he called its deepest structural and philosophical principles.
He began his Taijiquan training at the age of twenty-one with Professor Zheng Manqing (Cheng Man-ch’ing), and later studied with William C. C. Chen and Ben Lo, two of Professor Zheng’s most advanced students. He also continued Yang Family training under Chu Chufang, a student of Yang Chengfu, and mastered Three Step, Da Lu, and Sanshou.
He helped bring the Taijiquan Classics to English readers as co-author of The Essence of T’ai Chi Ch’uan: The Literary Tradition. He is also the author of The Theoretical Basis of Taijiquan and Taijiquan Meditations for the Solo Form.
