Tao Ping-Siang (also known as Dr Tao) was a doctor of acupuncture and Chinese Medicine.
Tao began with a martial arts career, as a child in Shaolin style Spring Leg. He eventually began studying the internal Neijia systems, Liuhebafa, T'ai chi ch'uan, Hsing I, and Pa Gua Chang. Dr. Tao studied with some of the most famous masters. Being a closed-door student he was constantly introduced to new masters by his current masters. The two teachers with the greatest influence on him were Wu Yi Hui (Liuhebafa) and Cheng Man-ch'ing (Yang-style tai chi chuan).
In early December 2006, Tao Ping-Shiang died in Columbus, Ohio. He was in his early 90s.[citation needed]
