Master of Applications

Master Liu ChengDe holds the rare distinction of serving as Applications Instructor for Hong Junsheng—an honor that speaks to his extraordinary mastery. In a lineage where both Hong and Chen Fa-ke prioritized applications over form, Liu’s appointment was profound recognition.

The Forge of Necessity

Liu began his training not from ambition, but from desperation. Suffering from debilitating back pain in an era when China had neither effective painkillers nor medical solutions, he discovered that practicing Taiji and Qi Gong made the pain vanish—but only while practicing.

This necessity drove him to train with uncommon intensity. The result: he eventually surpassed even Hong Junsheng himself.

Undefeated Reality

Both Hong and Chen Fa-ke were famously unbeaten despite near-daily challenges. Liu continues this tradition. His applications are not theoretical—they are devastating and absolute. Those who have witnessed his demonstrations understand immediately: there is no question of the outcome.

The Paradox of Power

Liu’s power is extraordinary, yet his touch is so light it’s barely perceptible. This is the hallmark of true mastery—force that needs no announcement.
