Grandmaster Michael Tse created the Tse Qigong Centre in 1990, when he was living in the UK, to teach traditional Chinese skills. GM Tse is one of the most senior students of Grandmaster Ip Chun, and with over 40 years experience, he has built a strong following of students around the world.

Since the Centre began, classes have spread all over the world in Europe, America, and Australasia, becoming a global and interconnected Centre for Chinese skills that includes Wild Goose Qigong, Northern Shaolin Chun Yuen, Chen style Tai Chi, and Ip Man Wing Chun. One of the many strengths and benefits of the Centre is how close the instructors and students are with each other. Many instructors will take the opportunity to visit UK to see their respective Sifu and Sigong, growing the bond between them. With hundreds of students around the world, this is a great sign of good character and trust.

Sifu Yelian He was taught by Master Darryl Moy, the most senior student of GM Tse and the Chief Instructor of the Tse Qigong Centre. Sifu He has over a decade of experience and is proud to teach the skill that’s been passed down through GM Ip Chun via GM Tse and Master Moy, and he takes every opportunity to visit his teacher and to continue studying whenever he can.

Grandmaster Tse says:

“If you visit my Sifu, Great Grandmaster Ip Chun’s school, you will see a marble plaque hanging on the wall with these inscribed in Chinese. These instructions help give us a guideline to be a good student, a good teacher and a good person because in order to be a good martial artist we need not only to have just good skill but a good heart.”
