Alec Menge studied Yang Tai Chi Chuan since 2008. He initially studied under Master CK Chu until his passing in 2014. Since then, he has continued at Master Ck Chu's school under Master Hiland Harris, learning Nei Kung (internal stance training), fighting applications, push hands, and silk reeling.

He continues to develop the Yang Tai Chi Long Form while incorporating Yang Ban Hou's style, which includes more active footwork, higher kicks, and a very low stance, which is very seldom taught today in Yang style. Alec feels a strong need to teach the authentic Yang Style of Tai Chi Chuan since it is very rare to see anyone teach it from a real martial arts perspective today.
