Master Huang Xingxian was born in Fujian Province, China, 1910. From the age of 14 he trained Baihe (White Crane), Lohan (18 Buddha boxing) and Nei Gung (Doaist Internal Alchemy) under the well known Fujian White Crane Master Xie Zhongxian (1852-1930) and later under Master Pan Chun-nien who also educated Huang in Chinese Medicine and the Literary Classics. Later Huang opened a school in Shanghai where he trained together with his friends Chung Yu-jen (Taiji), Chiang Hai-ching (Xingyi) and Yang Chih-ching (Bagua). He also studied Taiji with Wan Lai-sheng (China Martial Arts Champion 1938). In 1947, having moved to Taiwan, he began Taiji with Zheng Manqing - a direct disciple of Yang Cheng-fu. Quickly Huang entered the inner-school and in later years came to be regarded as Zheng's most accomplished disciple. From 1958 on Huang lived and taught in Singapore and Malaysia. By the time of his death in December 1992, he had established 40 schools and taught 10,000 people throughout South East Asia.
