YANG LU CHAN (1799-1872)
Founder & 1st Generation Master Yang Family Taiji
Yang Lu Chan, alias Fu Quai, was born in Nan Quan village, Guanfu Town, of Yong Nian County.
While working in a dispensary, he witnessed in an incident, how the proprietor, a man from
the Chen village, successfully defeated a trouble maker. After consulting the former, he went
to the Chen village and seek out Master Chen Chang Xing, in order to learn from him the
Mien Chuan (soft/continuous fist), also known as Taijiquan. After many years of diligent
practise and perseverance, he eventually became one of the finest martial artist of that time.
So undefeatable was his skill, that he earned a well-deserved nickname: "Yang Wu Di" (Yang the
Peerless). Eventually, he refined his Taijiquan skill and formed the Yang Style Taijiquan.
