At the age of seven, Master Song-Tso Chen began the daily practice of Tai Chi and Qi-Gong with his father. He has since studied with many masters who were the original students of the great grand masters of Tai Chi and Qi-Gong. In addition, Master Chen has meditated in many temples and still returns to China every other year to further his studies. He studies with Master Lay Jin-Shuh who is the senior student of Wong Shuh-Jin, the famous Tai Chi Chuan and Pa Kua Chang Grand Master. Master Chen also studies with Master Liaw Jen-Shyang who is the senior student of Grand Master Cheng Man-Ching, who first introduced American students to Tai Chi Chuan in 1964. Throughout his life, Master Chen has gained an incredible depth of knowledge from his studies of Eastern and Western medical traditions. He was invited at the age of twelve to study Taoist and Confucian philosophies with the monks who lived in a Taoist Temple located next door to his family's home. This provides Master Chen with a unique and holistic perspective on the practice of Tai Chi and Qi-Gong.
