Kung Fu Conversations

In this episode Randel and Owen talk with Hai Yang about his martial journey, Qi Gong, Chen Taiji and Xingyi and training and teaching.

From the Dao I Podcast:

"Master Hai Yang, born and raised in Tianjin, China, began his Xing Yi training at the age of 6 under the guidance of his grandfather, Yang Qinglin, a disciple of Zhang Zhaodong. In his adolescent years, he also began practicing Cheng-style Ba Gua, Xing Yi - Ba Gua Palm, also under his grandfather's guidance, Chen-style Tai Chi from Master Ma Hong and his own uncle, Yang Fengwu, different practices of Qi Gong such as Zhineng and Wild Goose, and of course, Daoism. Till date, he has amassed close to 50 years worth of practice experience, almost 40 of which also include extensive teaching experience in China, Canada, the US, Europe, as well as online.

Since May 2020, Master Yang has been regularly publishing lecture videos on his YouTube channel covering theoretical as well as practical aspects of the Internal Martial Arts, Daoism and Qi Gong.

Master Yang founded the Daoist Arts Organization International (DAOI) a couple of years ago with the aim of bringing together practitioners in the community and elevating the overall standard of practice within the community."

In this episode Randel and Owen continue their talk with Marin Spivack about Chen Taiji training training with Chen Yu, Feng ZhiQiang, and, Gene Chen.

From his website:

"Marin Spivack holds a Bachelors in Asian Studies from University of California, Berkeley, with a focus on Political Science of China. He is proficient in conversational Mandarin and well versed in the cultural nuances and lifestyle of mainland China and gongfu culture specifically which made such an unlikely journey in gongfu possible.

In 2002 he became a formal disciple of Chenyu, training the ancestral practices taught to him by his father, Chen Zhaokui. This fist consists of the direct family methods passed to him from his father Chen FaKe which Chen Zhaokui made popular and practiced to a high skill. Training the traditional way at Chenyu’s home during years living in Beijing Marin Spivack was fortunate to have gained a significant amount of detail and foundation to himself practice this art to fruition and acquire the ability to pass it on accurately. 

He continues to develop, deepen and share that system of gongfu in traditional classes in the the Boston area, U.S.A."
