Fu Zhong Wen- the Tiger at the Gate
Master Fu Zhong Wen was an amazing Tai Chi practitioner. He started learning Yang Style Tai Chi from the tender age of nine years old. His teacher was none other than Yang Cheng Fu, the grandson of the Founder Yang Lu Chan. By all accounts Fu was very very skilled at Tai Chi and he has been referred to as Yang Cheng Fu's "Tiger at the Gate" because when people would come to challenge the grandmaster he would let them get soundly thrashed by Fu Zhong Wen.
