We receive our lineage from the Zhang family descendants back to the time of Lao Tzu. Grandmaster Zhang is a descendant of Zhang Dao Li, who is said to have begun religious Taoism, and who began the teachings of monastic martial arts at Mt. Qingcheng. The teachings were passed down through succesive generations in the family to Zhang San Feng, who coordinated many of the movements and techniques into forms and styles. This tradition was passed down through the family to Grandmaster Zhang's Great Grandfather, who taught Grandmaster Zhang beginning at the age of three. Among Grandmaster Zhang's teachers are Yin Yi, Li Ziming, Zhong Fang Han, and Zhang Wenguang. Grandmaster Zhang's entire life has been committed to the Internal Martial Arts and Traditional Chinese Medicine. The area where Grandmaster Zhang grew up is a hotbed of martial artists and masters. He has learned from many of these masters and some of them come to our Center at Mt. Qingcheng to continue to teach Grandmaster Zhang and his students.
