As one of the most widely practiced Tai Chi styles in the world, with over 200 million practitioners, Yang-style Tai Chi is known for its smooth, continuous flow and balance of softness and strength. As a family-line inheritor of this UNESCO-recognized heritage, Fu Qingquan stands as a leading figure in its preservation and global promotion.

Trained from childhood under his grandfather Fu Zhongwen and father Fu Shengyuan, Fu Qingquan inherits the authentic Yang-style Tai Chi lineage.
