The Chuan Cheng Taijiquan and Internal Arts Academy (Chuan Cheng Academy) was established by Liang Dehua to promote and disseminate Chinese Internal Arts and philosophy and their values. These include but are not limited to internal martial arts and its Nei Gong, Qi Gong, Yi Jing, traditional Chinese medicine (by my students), and Chinese culture through affiliated schools, workshops, and online training.
The true inheritance of the lineage
Our Yang style Taijiquan teaching syllabus derives from the official lineage of Grandmaster Gu Lisheng, which was passed down from Gu Lisheng’s last indoor student, Master Chi Qingsheng. Grandmaster Gu Lisheng (Gu Luping) was a student of both Yang Shaohou and Yang Chengfu, Liang Dehua is a certified 6th generation indoor student of this lineage.
The authentic knowledge of the art
Liang Dehua’s expertise and countless years of experience training in martial arts are the foundation for the comprehensive system taught in Chuan Cheng Academy of Taijiquan and internal arts. Sifu Liang is a native Chinese speaker, meaning that he can transmit the authentic knowledge of the arts to students without losing any essential teachings typically lost in translation. Liang Dehua’s knowledge originates from learning directly from masters living in China. There are no random mixing bits and pieces of information from different lineages that barely scratch the surface. Liang Dehua’s knowledge can penetrate through the entire system of Yang-style Taijiquan and the internal arts.

I first met Liang De Hua in 2017, while he was teaching Taiji Quan to a group of students in Bangkok. Since that initial meeting, I have spent countless hours in his company. Having observed Sifu Liang De Hua instruct students on a one-to-one basis and conduct workshops attended by 40+ people, I have no hesitancy in testifying that Liang De Hua is a world-class instructor. He embodies authentic Taiji Quan skills and possesses a unique ability to transmit his high-level teachings to others. His continued efforts and willingness to share the Traditional Yang-style Taiji Quan methods are a rarity.
