Looking back at the footage, Teacher Huang Sheng Shyan reminded once again of the true essence of Taijiquan that over 40 years traveling across Malaysia, Taiwan, New Zealand, Australia, and beyond to teach.

​Many people spend their lives searching for superior "kung fu" through brute force and physical strength. But true Taijiquan is never about contesting force with force (dòu lì 斗力).

​The essence of Taijiquan is found in one single word: Emptiness (Kōng 空).

​When you truly understand Taijiquan, you realize there is no rigid form, no fixed stance, no resistance. You must become empty, empty like the air, supple like water.

​Total emptiness inside and out, front, back, left, and right.

​When an opponent tries to strike or push, they should encounter nothing to grab or lean on, as if pushing against empty space.

​You train Taijiquan when eating, walking, and reading, it becomes a continuous state of mind and body.

​To reach this state, physical skill alone is not enough. It requires psychological alignment, physical principles, natural talent, and above all, humility. Without humility, true progress stops.
​And above all, remember that our practice is rooted in health and cultivated character. Wealth and high position mean nothing if health is lost.

​His wish remains as it has always been, keep practicing sincerely, treat others well, cultivate genuine passion (qíng 情), and preserve this priceless heritage of traditional culture.
​

​重温这段珍贵的影像资料,黄性贤老师再次阐明了他四十多年来奔波于马来西亚、台湾、新西兰、澳大利亚等地悉心传授的太极拳真谛。

​许多人穷尽一生,试图通过拙力与强劲的体魄去追求所谓的“神功”。然而,真正的太极拳绝非与人角力、以力相拼(斗力)。

​太极拳的精髓,全在于一个字:空。
​当你真正领悟了太极拳,就会明白它并无死板的招式、固定的马步或硬性的对抗。你必须让自己完全空掉,—像空气般无形,像流水般顺应。

​前后左右,里里外外,全身透空。

​当对手试图发力击打或推挤时,应感觉无处着力、无依无靠,如同击打在虚空之中。

​吃饭是练拳,走路是练拳,看书亦是在练拳——太极已融入日常的言行举止与身心状态之中。
​要达到这种境界,仅靠体能与技法是远远不够的。它需要心理学与物理学的融会贯通、天资悟性,以及最重要的,—谦虚。若无谦虚之心,功夫便再难进益。
​最重要的是,切记我们的修习是以健康和养德为本。倘若失去健康,纵有万贯家财、至高名利,亦不过是一场空。

​老师的夙愿一如既往:愿大家真诚习练,善待他人,涵养真情,共同守护并传承这份无价的中华传统文化瑰宝。

On September 19, 2026, martial arts enthusiasts gathered for a grand showcase of heritage, forms, and cultural appreciation.

The event successfully brought together traditional lineage masters and practitioners from various martial arts schools across Singapore, celebrating the deep roots and unity of our local martial arts community.

​A standout moment of the demonstration was the participation of Wee Kee Jin, a dedicated stay-in student of the legendary Teacher Huang Sheng Shyan. Demonstrating remarkable poise, internal power, and precision, Mr Wee showcased the profound depth and refined principles of the Huang Style Taiji lineage.

His presence on stage served as a vivid reminder of the living tradition passed down through years of disciplined practice.

"Whoever practices Taijiquan, correctly and regularly... will gain the pliability of a child, the health of a lumberjack, and the peace of mind of a sage."

This beautiful quote, popularized by Teacher Cheng Man-ch'ing and Robert W. Smith, perfectly captures the transformative power of dedicated practice. It highlights three true benefits of the art:

The Pliability of a Child: Reverse the stiffness of daily life by learning to release tension and move with youthful, fluid elasticity.

The Health of a Lumberjack: Beneath the graceful, slow movements lies a martial art that builds deep, rooted leg strength, incredible stamina, and internal vitality.

The Peace of Mind of a Sage: By sinking our awareness into our breath and body, we quiet the anxious mind and reset the nervous system into a deep state of calm.

The secret to unlocking these benefits lies in the first part of the quote: "correctly and regularly." Taiji isn't a quick fix; it requires proper guidance and consistent dedication.

Come learn the authentic Huang Sheng Shyan (黄性贤) lineage of Taijiquan with us, a system deeply respected for both its profound health and martial benefits.

In Taijiquan, true mastery begins when we embrace Wuwei, the art of effortless action without self-imposed limits. Far too often, practitioners constrain their potential by viewing techniques through rigid boundaries, treating the hand merely as a hand and the body simply as a physical frame.

​To experience true Wuwei in both solo forms and push-hands, you must break free from these mental constraints. Do not limit your understanding to fixed shapes or defensive mechanics. A hand is no longer just a hand when it acts as a seamless conduit of internal energy; a body is no longer just a physical structure when it becomes entirely fluid and rooted.

​Treat every movement as completely formless. By releasing the urge to control, resist, or force an outcome, you allow your response to adapt naturally to any force. Empty your mind of rigid definitions, dissolve all boundaries, and let effortless harmony guide your practice. Keep cultivating!
​
​在太极拳的修练中,真正的境界源自对“无为”的深刻体悟, 一种不设限、不自缚的自然状态。许多人在练习套路与推手时,常将自己局限于固有的认知中,以为手仅是手,躯体仅是躯体,因而招式受限,意念受阻。
​要真正融汇“无为”,关键在于打破对自身的束缚。推手与走架时,切勿用刻板的形态去定义动作。当手不再局限于“手”的招式,它便能成为内劲流转的依托;当身体不再局限于“躯体”的框架,它就能化为随缘应变的整体。
​请将每一个动作都视为无形无相的自然流露。唯有放下强加的控制与对抗,解开意识上的层层限制,才能做到舍己从人、顺应变幻。以无形之意,破有形之局,与诸位同仁共勉!

Honoring the Legacy: Teacher Cheng Man-Ching and Teacher Huang Sheng Shyan

In the history of Tai Chi Chuan, few teacher-disciple bonds are as inspiring as that between Teacher Cheng Man-Ching (鄭曼青宗師) and his renowned disciple, Huang Sheng Shyan (黃性賢).

Here is a glimpse into their powerful story of lifelong admiration, mastery, and remarkable achievements:

Deep Admiration for His Teacher
After moving to Taiwan in 1948 and being introduced to Teacher Cheng Man-Ching to study Tai Chi Chuan, Huang Sheng Shyan formed an enduring reverence for his teacher. Reflecting on his martial arts path, Huang Sheng Shyan profoundly expressed:

"What I am most comforted by in my life is being able to study under a teacher who possesses an open mind, profound wisdom, and exquisite martial arts skill."

Recognition & Outstanding Achievements
Teacher Cheng Man-Ching recognized Huang Sheng Shyan's remarkable dedication and skills, trusting him with crucial missions:

1955 National Champion: Acting on his master's direct orders (遵師命), Huang Sheng Shyan entered the Taiwan Martial Arts Competition and won the Grand Champion title in the Tai Chi Chuan division.

Promoting Tai Chi in Southeast Asia: Building on his success and recognition, Master Huang traveled to Singapore in 1956 to teach Tai Chi, expanding his efforts across Malaysia in 1959.

Proving Tai Chi Mechanics on the Ring: In 1970, Master Huang famously defeated wrestler Liao Guangcheng in a match, demonstrating the effortless power of Tai Chi's "borrowing force" (借力打力).

Founding a Lasting Legacy: He established Huang's Tai Chi Associations across various regions and promoted the widely practiced Five Loosening Exercises (鬆身五法).

Teacher Huang Sheng Shyan’s life was anchored by his unwavering filial piety toward his teacher, Grandmaster Cheng Man-ch'ing (鄭曼青). After two decades of tireless work establishing Taijiquan academies across Southeast Asia, his return to Taipei in the early 1980s was more than a homecoming, it was a triumphant validation of his dedication to the art.

During this historic gathering, Teacher Huang was honored by his peers at the Shr Jung (Shih Chung) Tai Chi Chuan Association (時中學社). The Association’s leadership, Former President Liu Hsi-Heng (劉錫亨) and Vice President Hsu I-Chung (徐憶中), stood shoulder-to-shoulder with their respected brothers, Teacher Huang Sheng Shyan (黃性賢), Kuo Chin (郭琴), Lo Pang-Jeng (羅邦楨), and Chu Hung-Pin (鞠鴻賓). Together, they celebrated an enduring legacy and a brotherhood forged in the shared training of their youth.

Teacher Huang was deeply humbled to be presented with the "Glory of the Lineage" (師門之光), a heartfelt acknowledgment from his brothers of the international prestige he had brought to their master’s school. Equally profound was the blessing from Shi Mu(Teacher's wife), Madam Ding Wei-Chuang (丁惟莊, Wife of Grandmaster Cheng Man-ch'ing), who personally gifted him calligraphy of the I Ching motto: "As Heaven’s movement is ever vigorous, so must a gentleman ceaselessly strive" (天行健,君子以自強不息).

These moments embody the true essence of traditional martial arts, not merely physical technique, but the integrity, humility, and lifelong devotion that protect a lineage and echo through the generations.

"Move out of my shadow" said teacher Huang Sheng Shyan.
https://www.taijisoce.com/articles/move-out-of-my-shadow

The Path to Mastery in Taijiquan

When embarking on the journey of Taijiquan, a novice naturally lacks both an understanding of the classic principles and the physical vocabulary of the Taiji Form, required to manifest them.

To bridge this gap, finding a teacher is an absolute necessity. The essence of Taijiquan relies on oral transmission and direct, hands-on guidance; books and videos can only ever serve as supplemental references, never as primary instructors.

When searching for a guide, you must prioritize profound knowledge over superficial fame, as renown does not always equate to true understanding.

The Progression of Practice

External Precision: In your early training, your movements, both in the solo form and in push hands, must perfectly mirror your teacher's exact ex*****on.

The Form is the vessel through which you experience the underlying principles of the art. Any physical inaccuracy will obstruct your ability to feel and understand these deeper concepts.

Internal Realization: Only once this strict external precision is achieved will a knowledgeable master begin to unveil the internal mechanics and energetic processes hidden within the physical movements.

Yet, the ultimate goal of the art is not endless imitation.

Teacher Huang instructed that "True mastery requires evolution"!

"When you fully understand and are able to embody my teachings, you must step out of my shadow. Only then can you truly develop and refine your own Taijiquan."

Ever wonder about the deeper purpose behind the floor conditioning in Huang’s Taijiquan?

When Teacher Huang Sheng Shyan trained students in vertical leg raises, leg cycles, and side-to-side leg sweeps, his objective went far deeper than standard physical fitness.

Eliminating "Fake Relaxation"!

In standing forms, it is easy to fake balance by tensing the legs or leaning.

Teacher Huang used the flat floor as an uncompromising mirror. Without feet on the ground, a student cannot brace with stiff leg muscles, forcing the spine to remain perfectly centered (Zhong Ding).

To ensure power generates from the core rather than the limbs, his floor cycles force the deep lower abdomen to hold the weight. This conditions the outer thigh and knee muscles to remain relaxed (Song) while the internal core does the work.

Training Cross-Body Counter-Balance:

When the legs sweep sideways, gravity threatens to tip the frame over. Teacher Huang's exercise teaches students to intuitively anchor the opposite shoulder into the floor.

This dynamic "X" leverage system is the exact biomechanical manifestation of "He Yi Han San" (合一含三), demanding that the body operates as a unified, unbreakable sphere.

Joint Preservation for Longevity

True to the classic goal of health and longevity, Teacher Huang designed this to protect the joints. By taking body weight off the feet, students can safely train the full "open and close" mobility of the Kua (hips) and knees, preventing the harmful joint-twisting often seen in improper standing practice.

It is not just a floor routine!

Continuity: Like a long river, your practice should be endless. "Longevity is found in the Dao."
