GRANDMASTER FENG ZHIQIANG (馮志強)

Feng Zhiqiang (1928-2012) was an 18th-generation grandmaster of Chen Style Taijiquan. As the foremost authority on Chen style Taijiquan in modern times, he was instrumental in resuscitating Chen style in its home of Chen village after the Cultural Revolution. As the disciple of two great masters, Hu Yao Zhen (胡耀貞) and Chen Fa Ke (陳發科), he developed the Hunyuan Taiji system, blending traditional Chen style Taijiquan with elements of Xinyi Quan and Taoist Qigong methods into a comprehensive system. In doing so, he corrected internal problems within the Chen style, improving upon its health and martial benefits by fusing it with Taoist cultivation methods.

Grandmaster Feng Zhiqiang was a board member of the China Martial Arts Association, advisor to the Beijing Municipal Martial Arts Association, chairman of the Beijing Chen Style Taijiquan Research Association and president of the Feng Zhiqiang Martial Arts Academy.
