Master Yuan Hua Yan

Professor Yuanhua Yan, a fifth generation direct lineage of the Wu Style Tai chi, is an experienced teacher at the Shanghai Wu JianQuan Tai chi school. He graduated from East China Normal University in Shanghai, China in 1982 with a MA degree in philosophy. After teaching at the university for 8 years, he traveled to Japan and attended the Tokyo University for three years, majoring Asian cultures.

Professor Yuanhua Yan has a great passion for the Chinese martial arts. Since childhood, he has learned Shao-lin Gong Fu and the art of grappling. He also studied Chen and Yang style Tai chi chuan, Bagua Xin Yi Chuan. Later he was so impressed with the magnificent Push-hands abilities of Ma Yueliang, a contemporary grandmaster in the Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan and his top disciple master Qian Chaoqun. He has stopped his other training and concentrated totally in the tutorage of master Qian chaoqun.

Over the years, he has systematically mastered the complete curriculum of the Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan, which includes the slow and fast sets, the Wu Style saber and sword sets (Qian-kun sword set, Seven-star sword set and Lian-huan sword set), the twenty four-form Tai Chi spear set and the thirteen-form long spear set. In addition, he has mastered the thirteen push hands techniques, and fixed and walking push hand routines. Because of his knowledge of the Yin/Yang theory and years of practical experience, his dedication, natural ability, and high moral character, he earned master Qian’s trust and became his top disciple and eventually inherited from the whole treasures of the Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan.

Professor Yuanhua Yan specialty is to neutralize a powerful force exerted upon him. He has proven the claims that “soft overcome hard” and “four ounces of force to deflect a thousand pound” are true indeed.
