The 4 Tigers or Diamonds of Chen Tai Chi




In the 1980s, a journalist coined the term, "the Four Tigers," when describing some of the leading experts/teachers of Chen Tai Chi that were travelling and spreading the word of Chen Tai Chi. They travelled internationally and all were from the Chen Village of Henan province, in China, the birthplace of Tai Chi. On the internet, they are also known as the 4 Diamonds of Chen Tai Chi as well.

The 4 Tigers were taught by Chen Zhao Kui and Chen Zhao Pei. They were direct relatives of Chen Fake.

The 4 Tigers are: Chen Xiao Wang, Chen Zhen Lei, Wang Xian and Zhu Tian Cai.
Reportedly each of them have their own unique specialties, while also being outstanding experts in Chen Tai Chi.
