 Dr. Stephen Hwa Ph.D. a retired Chemical Engineer from Xerox, is the 2nd generation disciple of the legendary Tai Chi Master Wu Chien Chuan, founder of Wu Style Tai Chi. Hwa learned from the 1st generation Master Young Wabu shown in the photo below. Sifu Jim Roach studying "Small Circle or Small Frame Tai Chi" with Dr. Hwa since 2003 and is Dr. Hwa's 1st certified teacher.  Sifu Roach was also an "indoor" advanced student and 4th generation disciple of the Wu Family when he studied the "large frame" forms at the Academy in Toronto, Canada. Master Hwa was fortunate to be taught the advanced “Small Circle, or Small Frame Tai Chi Form” where every movement originates from the core of the body.
