About Tai Chi Yuan Gong Chan Chuan
Tai Chi Yuan Gong Chan Chuan is a high level internal Martial Art. Just like with all of our programs, this art will teach you how to maximize the use of your physical, mental, and spiritual body.
This particular art is said to have begun as the art of the Emporer’s 12 personal bodyguards- drawing the deadliest techniques from all of the martial arts in China at the time. With the fall of the dynasty (Ming perhaps?) the surviving bodyguards scattered, one of whom ended up at a Buddhist temple north of Beijing. It was here that the highest level of philosophical teaching was combined with this high level martial art.
From then on this art was passed down as a single step art, only the Master of the Temple and his successor knew it. That is, until now. When Master Croley lived in China his teacher, Liu Chan Shan (in the video) decided to break this protocol and teach him this secret art. Master Liu taught Croley the art, and then asked permission from Grand Master Po Rin Fu.
As the story goes, upon hearing this the old Grand Master was at first irritated, but then smiled. He said that Master Croley could teach this art openly to anybody who would learn it in America.
