The Drunken Boxing Podcast #022  

My guest today is none other than Mario Napoli. I heard about Mario many many years ago. He rose to fame due to the fact that he was the first and the last non Chinese to enter the Chen village push hands championships and win. After he did this, aspects of participation were changed permanently to avoid such things from happening again in such a manner.  Mario’s study of the art of Taiji was through his teacher, Stanley Israel, who was a highly respected Judo teacher in new York in the mid 20th century and his skill in the art was well known. However, Stan met the famed Zheng Manqing or Chen Manching who was a highly acclaimed pioneer in the USA who taught taijiquan in New York. Stan was instantly impressed with his skill and started his study of taijiquan under him. It was from this solid base that Mario began his study in to the art which took him to achieve what he did.
