Master Chen Youze 2008 Sf Bay Area Seminar

[Ma Long]

The Bay Area Chen Taiji Association will proudly host Master Chen Youze this July and August in the San Francisco Bay Area. Master Chen is the eldest son of Master Chen Qingzhou (19th Gen) and is the only person to have ever won the Chen Village "confrontational push hands" competition three years consecutively. He has since dedicated his life to teaching and spreading his art based upon his father's Zun Gu system of Chen Taiji. He is currently a China National Grade Coach, and is frequently a Competition Judge also at the national level. He travels throughout China training nascent martial artists to compete in push hands, internal weapons and empty hand forms.

A well respected figure within Chen style, he is perhaps not well known on the outside due to his humble dedication, and frankly his low tolerance for BS. But we'll let his record speak for itself:
