The system we teach has come from these distinguished Martial Arts masters. These highly-regarded teachers have exemplary track records and have left a deep legacy which we are proud to help continue and grow.
Master Chen Ching-Ho
Master Chen Ching-Ho was born in Chang-Hwa County of Taiwan in 1960. He graduated from Chinese Culture University in Taipei with a major in Chinese Literature. He has practised Chinese Wu Shu for almost 40 years since his early childhood. He has dabbled in the study of Tai-Zu Quan, White Crane, Cai-Li-Fo, and various other styles of kung fu for some time. But the core of his teaching now is in the styles of Long Fist, Hong Quan and Tai Chi.
He was once the Chief Instructor of the Training centres of Taipei Association of Chinese Wu Shu from 1986-1994. He is currently teaching at the Wu Shu Clubs of National Taiwan University, National Central University, Chinese Culture University, Formosa Hospital and various other organizations, in addition to teaching at his own school.
Currently Master Chen Ching-Ho is the founder and Chief Instructor of Institute for the Advanced Study of Chang Hong Wu Shu. He has taught over several thousand students, spread out all over Asia, Europe, Americas, Africa and other continents.
Master Marco Kavalier
Marco Kavalier is the head of CMAHC South Africa and has been Si Fu Ian’s teacher for 30 years. Marco has been training martial arts most of his life. At age 9 he was introduced to Japanese arts and practiced karate for several years. He then moved into learning Chinese martial arts at the age of 13. His enthusiasm and dedication in kung fu led him to open his own school at the tender age of 19. He started instructing at the local gym and within six months moved into his own premises.
Since then the centre grew and so did the students whose lives were enriched into a new era of Chinese martial arts. In the pursuit of expanding his unquenchable thirst in the arts Marco decided to expand his horizons and seek other styles and schools internationally and he set off to Europe in 1987. His travels took him to the United States in 1988 where he built new relationships with many masters. He then set about the task of liaising with practitioners, masters and competitors with the purpose of promoting South African Chinese martial arts. In 1989 Marco Kavalier achieved the highest accolade in sport, his South African colours.
