I first met Liang De Hua in 2017, while he was teaching Taiji Quan to a group of students in Bangkok. Since that initial meeting, I have spent countless hours in his company. Having observed Sifu Liang De Hua instruct students on a one-to-one basis and conduct workshops attended by 40+ people, I have no hesitancy in testifying that Liang De Hua is a world-class instructor. He embodies authentic Taiji Quan skills and possesses a unique ability to transmit his high-level teachings to others. His continued efforts and willingness to share the Traditional Yang-style Taiji Quan methods are a rarity.
Before our initial meeting, I had read many stories of accomplished Taiji masters of the past. The tales of the early Yang Taiji masters attaining extraordinary skills and demonstrating remarkable internal abilities led me to believe that the old Yang system had not passed down in its entirety, and the knowledge was somehow lost over time. After meeting Sifu Liang and extensively experiencing his Taiji skills, I recognized that my earlier presumptions were wrong. The ancestral knowledge of the Old Yang system, including the traditional forms and sophisticated internal training methods, had indeed been preserved and can still be learned under his guidance.
Sifu Liang De Hua is the real deal. He is an accomplished practitioner, a talented teacher, and a generous person. If you’re looking for a teacher that has genuine internal skills, extensive knowledge of the arts, and the expertise to pass on their system efficiently, then an opportunity to train with Sifu Liang should not be missed.

I have been practicing martial arts for over 30 years, mostly external styles (traditional karate mainly but also several years of practice in various styles of “external kung fu” and Brazilian ju jitsu); at the end of the 90s I also started to approach the Chinese Internal Styles (Taijiquan and Yiquan) that have always fascinated me … I am a very “practical” person given the background where I come from and unfortunately in this area the teachers I met never really convinced me… for the most part people with few theoretical notions and no “internal skills”, those very few who had some of it often had obtained it more “stealing” from various masters and mixing what they have learned than through a real apprenticeship in a pure and coherent lineage, and/or, were reluctant to really share this knowledge with their students whose level was clear evidence of this … then I was lucky enough to see a video of Sifu Liang on Facebook, I was immediately impressed … there was something in his way of practicing the form or tui shou completely different from whoever I had met before … I decided to contact him and invite him to Rome to hold a workshop … the meeting in person surprised me even more … Sifu Liang immediately proved to be a martial artist with enormous skills, these are evident for those who have the martial level to perceive them, and even if he does not like to show off, from the first meeting I understood that his skills went far beyond what he was showing at that moment, and I had the confirmation of this through the private training sessions that subsequently followed… his very high ability to “control” the opponent, the power of his blows, especially impressive for such a light person, make it clear that what he puts into practice is a “real and pure internal gong fu”, and the level of his advanced students proves his sincerity in the transmission of the Art. To all this, I must add that he is a person of enormous generosity and humility which was as important to me as his martial abilities when I made the decision to abandon the practice of karate to dedicate myself exclusively to the taijiquan that he teaches asking him to be able to become his pupil. Since then I have invited him several times to Rome and I have also followed him in Europe to be able to train with him as much as possible … his skills and the knowledge he has in the profound art of Taijiquan every time surprise me more and more and over time a beautiful relationship of friendship has been also established. In the modern martial arts world we often hear people talking about Wu De, martial ethics, or “mysterious internal skills”, but then what we meet goes, just as often, in a completely different direction … Sifu Liang, in this context, is a rare exception and I consider myself lucky to be able to call him Master and Friend.

Sifu Liang De Hua, the first time I touched hands with him I could understand that I was in front of a true martial artist, not just a person who gives classes of routines and exercises for you to practice. But I could see that he is some of the rare (nowadays) that not only have real experience but also keeps training and above of all he has the passion to share his knowledge. The first day we touched hands, I just had one thought in my mind: “what can I do with someone with his skill and internal power, he gives me a light punch or kick and feels like he is breaking my bone. I punch him hard and he is like the mythical iron shirt, as nothing is going on. And I have trained martial arts since childhood, I had fought hard with and without protections, I had 18 years of training traditional Kung Fu, and I could not imagine that I would ever meet someone like this.”<br data-rich-text-line-break=”true” />His knowledge of historical context and philosophy within the martial arts keeps surprising me each time I see him. I’m thankful to have met him and to be learning from him and besides that Sifu is a friendly, joyful and kind person that we who know him love to share time with.

I would like to thank my Sifu Liang De Hua for all the taichi lessons and help he has given me. I’m a professional psychologist and have more than 20 years of experience practicing taichi, in 2019 I attended a workshop held in Chile and I was very lucky to meet Sifu Liang, I was deeply surprised by his extraordinary skills and his great knowledge of taichi, I was able to cross hands with him and in my years of practice I have never experienced such amazing high level of taichi. If they had told me, or seen it in a video, I don’t know if I would have believed it. At that moment I understood that if I really wanted to learn taichi, I had to follow its teachings. That was the taichi I had been searching for many years on! Now in 2020, he has accepted me as his student and now I call him my Sifu. I consider myself very lucky not only because I am learning a genuine taichi of the highest level, but also because in the human side, Liang is a humble person with a big heart, very generous, he helped me when I needed it the most, he is an authentic and sincere person, and like many already know, he is also happy and fun, it is always a pleasure to be with him, Liang is my sifu and he is my friend, and I also consider him my brother.I know that some times people criticize him on social networks because his videos seem not real. I can affirm that everything you see in the videos is real, there is no fake, the videos show real skills that can be learned by training with him.

I recently met Sifu Liang De Hua at the 2020 Martial Camp in Thailand. Although it was only for 2 days, he left a very deep impression on me. Not only for his profound skills and understanding of Tai Chi Chuan, but also for his ability to teach and clearly pass on this knowledge. I found each of the students he brought to the seminar were also highly skilled and equally good natured. I also enjoyed his natural, light-hearted and easy going nature. He is a very humble man, who is honest and open about himself and his level of skill. He never once made any exaggerated claims about his abilities. It is extremely rare to find such a skilled and knowledgeable practitioner of Tai Chi Chuan who can both use it with such devastating effectiveness and also teach it clearly, with genuine understanding and openness. His natural good natured lightheartedness belies his profound skill and his deep commitment individually to each of his students. I believe the chance to learn from him and become one of his students would be one of the greatest opportunities in life.

I met Laing De Hua at one of his regular workshops in Italy. After having practiced Taiji from the age of 14, I quickly realized that I had found what I was looking for all those years ago. Liang gave clear and precise instruction, leaving no doubt about what you should be doing and dispensing with a lot of the mystical unclear terminology, using an easily understandable instructing style. Once I got hands-on experience (in which he was able to control and manipulate me with ease, and with a great big smile on his face!) I was in no doubt his ability and depth of understanding.<br data-rich-text-line-break=”true” />Upon getting into conversation and spending some time over lunch chatting it was also clear that he had more to offer than his Taiji skills. Liang is also very humble and down to earth, openly discussing matters of interest and having a laugh. I look forward to continuing training and exploring the depths of knowledge and experience Liang De Hua has to offer, I practice regularly what little I have learned from him but still feel I get so much from it.
