Huang became friends with the late mythologist Joseph Campbell when the two co-taught "Mythbody to Live By" seminars for more than a decade at the renowned Esalen Institute in Big Sur, Calif., according to a news release.

Throughout many summers of conducting tai ji seminars in Hawaii, Huang began to compare tai ji philosophy with the movements of hula and learned hula principles from Campbell’s wife, Jean Erdman Campbell, a celebrated dancer and choreographer originally from Honolulu, the release said.

As a performance artist on stage, in film and on television, Huang used his martial arts, including sparring with Bruce Lee. He is also the author of "Embrace Tiger Return to Mountain: The Essence of Tai Ji"; "Tao: The Watercourse Way," co-authored with Alan Watts; and "Thinking Body, Dancing Mind" with Jerry Lynch.

Huang is also the founder and president of the Living Tao Foundation (www.livingtao.org).
