Masters
Origins in Hangzhou
Master Haoqing Liu began practicing Tai Chi Chuan in early childhood in his hometown of Hangzhou, in Zhejiang province, under the guidance of his father Liu Yin Sheng. In addition to being a direct student of the great master Niu Chunming, his father was also highly skilled in the Taoist health practices traditionally known as Yang Sheng, transmitting to him from an early age a strong foundation in this family tradition.
Family lineage and masters
For decades, the master continued refining his family technique (Yang Shen) and the rest of his training under the direct guidance of highly respected teachers such as Lin Jin Fu and Chen Song Hai, direct successors of the teachings of the great master Niu Chunming in the Yang style.
Training and masters
His motivation and constant interest in deepening and elevating the quality of his practice also led him to establish close contact with renowned masters such as Liu Chengde, a student of Hong Jun Sheng, and even with Hong Jun Sheng himself, in order to study the technical specialization of Tui Shou ('Pushing Hands') from the Chen School. He also trained with master Cao Zhu Hua, disciple of Jiang Yu Kun, student of the great master Yang Cheng Fu and creator of the Tai Chi Sword format, in order to master this art.
International Taichi Wusan Society
On the international stage, Master Haoqing Liu was a co-founder in 1990 of the International Chinese Tai Chi Wusan Society, based in Hangzhou, and served as technical advisor, instructor, and plenipotentiary of that society in Europe.
Legacy in Spain and today
The master arrived in Spain in 1985 to promote this practice. Two years later, he founded Escuela Superior Chikung-Tai Chi in Madrid with an official professional certificate from the Chinese Embassy in Spain. Since 2002, his school has trained numerous instructors and has played a fundamental role in spreading and consolidating an activity that, at the time, was barely known in Spain and that today enjoys broad recognition. Today, founder Haoqing Liu is director of Escuela Superior Chikung-Taichi Madrid and leads professional training and research into the development of the scientific Tai Chi modality of preventive medicine.
