Your Dao Universe instructor, Shifu JianFeng Chen, has over 30 years of martial arts experience and over 25 years teaching. His father introduced him to martial arts at the age of 3, and at age 8 he joined the Junior Athletic School, which was the beginning of his formal training. He was selected by the Fujian State Athletic Wushu Unit (internationally known for Tai Chi World Champions) at the age of 11, where he was 1 of 5 students out of over 300 to train and compete professionally in Wushu (Kungfu) and Tai Chi for the Fujian province. This training required him to move from home to live in the sports complex in Fuzhou where he received training from Grand Masters and World Champions and attained eleven gold medals and numerous silver and bronze medals. He also attained a degree in Sports/Health from Shanghai Sports University and qualified to be a judge with the Chinese National Wushu Association. During and after his formal training, Master Chen acted and performed stunt work in movies/TV series such as Fist From Shaolin (1993) and Shaolin King of Martial Arts (2002) where he was honored to meet and train with more legends of Kung Fu. Through these experiences he realized his life purpose was to teach martial arts and share the Chinese culture with future generations. He moved to the US and began teaching in the Pacific Northwest in 2004, and in 2012 he started his own martial arts school in Central Oregon where he still teaches Tai Chi, QiGong and Wushu to all ages and abilities. Master Chen also started “Windows to China” trips in 2013 to further deepen his students knowledge and understanding of Chinese philosophy and martial arts training. Dao Universe was created to share the mental and physical health benefits of internal and external martial arts and philosophy with students from around the world. Master Chen hopes he can inspire his students to never stop learning.
