In 2008, Grandmaster Cheng was recognized by the International Wushu Sanshou Dao Association for her exceptional skill, knowledge, and teaching. 

Between 1996 and 2021, Grandmaster Aiping Cheng taught Tai Chi in the U.S. and established two Tai Chi schools in Orange, Connecticut and Austin, Texas. Both schools are now managed by her disciples.

When she retired from teaching in 2021, Grandmaster Aiping Cheng left a legacy behind her. Her dedications to Tai Chi have resulted in great accomplishments, especially in promoting Tai Chi as a heathy way of living in the modern world.
