Lataif Posted June 8, 2018 Please; (1) Does anyone know whether Paul Crompton, British teacher of Tai Chi, is still living (?) (2) He started learning Tia Chi in 1968 . . . so today he'd be in his 70s at least . . . Thanks . . . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thelerner Posted June 9, 2018 (edited) Here's a good interview with him https://taiji-forum.com/tai-chi-taiji/tai-chi-interviews/tai-chi-interview-paul-crompton/ I think its from 2018, but not 100% sure. He does say he's 73 in the article. "I am almost 73 years old now. Over the years I have learned Qigong and different aspects of meditation, and have developed methods of my own. You know the legend of Chang San Feng and how he learned tai chi in a dream. I thought, years ago, that it was not exactly a dream, but rather it came to him, if the legend is true, when he was in deep meditation of some kind. Not a dream as we think of it. So if you can go deeply enough into yourself, your body and intuition ‘teach’ you, if you are sensitive enough to listen and hear and interpret what you have heard sufficiently well to carry it out."
