Yang Ban-Hou was the son of the founding father of Yang style Taijiquan, Yang Lu-Chan. He lived 1837–1890 and was well known for his hard style of training and bellicose temper. There is not a lot written about Yang Ban-Hou but if you are interested you can find out a little more about him via the wulinmingshi.com where there is an interesting article about training in this lineage in the Yongnian area of China.
