  • Xia Quan with Master Deng Zhenjiang

In spite of these impressives accomplishments in the External styles of Kung Fu (Gung Fu), his lifelong passion was for Qigong (Chi Gong), Taijiquan and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Sifu Chen studied these Internal Arts: Taijiquan and Qigong with Masters Li Jianquan and Huang Huaqing Yang, Wu, Chen and Sun style Taijiquan with Fu Yonghui Yang Style Taijiquan with Master Fu Zhongwen Traditional Chinese Medicine and An Mor (Chinese Massage Techniques) with his maternal grandfather Master Chen's Taijiquan (Tai Chi) skills were such that he mastered the following routines:

Master Chen studied insatiably and continuously improved both his Qigong and himself. He played a myriad of classical Chinese wind and string musical instruments and he was also a great chef.

Master Chen Wei Gun was a quite, modest man to whom integrity and honor were more important than notoriety, power and money. His art and his life inspired all who were fortunate enough to know him. His spirit truly reflected Taijiquan's principles of Wu Wei, Harmony and Balance. He remained calm and peaceful even throughout the last 2 months of his life, which he spent on his deathbed knowing he would never leave it alive.

He was truly a Master of Qigong.

Very Sincerely Yours,
Gary Giamboi, Shifu
