Grand Master Chu Hong Ping

Born on 6th of December 1917 at Shauhai, China; Chu Hong-ping had already acquired a great knowledge of Chinese martial arts (Wu Shu) when in 1949, left China for Taiwan. It was at the time he met Prof. Cheng Man-ch’ing and he began studying Tai Chi Chuan with him. He is the founder of Kaohsiung Tai Chi Chuan Association and in 1998 he created the Foundation for development of Cheng Man-ch’ing style at Taipei.

In 2003 he received the highest honour from Taiwan Government for his merits in spreading Tai Chi Chuan and Chinese culture into his country and abroad. Grand Master Chu Hong-ping teaches and practices Tai Chi Chuan from over 50 years and certainly he is one of the better pupils of Prof. Cheng Man-ch’ing. It is really a great privilege having him with us for this seminar.
