Liu Hong Cai

One of DDA’s main guest teachers, Master Liu Hong Cai’s expertise is in TCM, tuina, Chen Style Taiji, push hands and meditation.

His patient and humorous style makes him extremely popular with international and domestic students alike, and he is always a popular guest teacher at DDA Shanghai Camps. Master Liu’s father was an avid Chen Style practitioner and not only studied with some of the old masters like Chen Zhao Kui, but also organized visits to his home for elites of the Chen family like Chen Fa Ke, Chen Zhao Kui, among others.

Master Liu’s spiral energy, coupled with his ability to control and utilize potential energy; “suddenly appearing/suddenly disappearing”; make his push hands ability quite ‘frightening’ when you find yourself launched into the air out of the blue! His knowledge and expertise in bone setting and TCM Tuina are second to none, and allied to his calm manner; make him not just a great Taiji teacher, but also a great healer. It’s been my privilege and honour to call him both a friend and colleague, and over the years in Shanghai I see him as a mentor in every sense of the word.
