http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yang_style_tai_chi_chuan
This is an excellent website for basic information on the Yang school of Tai Chi. It covers the history of this particular style, and it also contains a family tree of the practitioners of this martial art, which is extremely valuable when evaluating a new teacher. Ensuring that you can trace your teacher's lineage is essential to ensure that you are being taught the "true" martial art of a particular school.
This site was written for people that would like a brief introduction to this school of Tai Chi. In addition there is numerous links and references at the bottom of the page that can be used for further exploration of information on this style.
Suffering the usual Wikipedia downfalls, we do not know who the author's of this document are. Thus, it is liable to be imbued with commercial self-interest, or perhaps even ideological, and certain persons can be very sensitive about martial arts and their history. Thus, this website is an excellent introduction and high level overview of Yang School Tai Chi Chuan, but caution should be taken before taking any information as the truth due to the lack of in line citations, as noted by Wikipedia.
