Tai Chi Workshops with Wu Style Tai Chi Teacher Shen Tiegen Shen Tiegen began his study of martial arts with shuaijiao (grappling) at the age of seven. At the age of 15 he began his study of Ten Animals Six Harmonies Xinyi Quan while continuing to study shuaijiao. In his early twenties, in addition to his Xinyi training, he was exposed to Ge Dou, shuaijiao and the qinna of the Chinese military system. In 1980, at the age of 25, Shen Tiegen was introduced to Qian Caoqun, a noted disciple of Wu style grandmaster Ma Yueliang, and began training in the Wu Jianquan Style Taijiquan (tai chi). He became a disciple of Qian Caoqun and was later also introduced to Ma Yueliang and studied at the home of Ma Yueliang and his wife, Wu Yinghua (daughter of Wu style founder Wu Jianquan). He trained with them for 16 years until the passing of Wu Yinghua. Mr. Shen has practiced with police, military and martial artists from many styles throughout the United States and Europe. He is recognized in Wu circles in Shanghai as one of the top practitioners of fighting skill and push hands.
