Beyond his lifelong dedication to Taiji, Sifu Tony also built a distinguished professional career in engineering and served for many years as a lead mechanical engineering manager at NASA-related research organizations in Silicon Valley. Since beginning his internal martial arts journey in the 1980s, he has spent over four decades deeply studying, practicing, and preserving traditional Taiji and internal arts. Under Grandmaster Chen Qingzhou, Sifu Tony inherited the original Lao Jia Chen Taiji system in its “yuan zhi yuan wei 原汁原味”, preserving the art in its original essence and flavor as passed down through the lineage. Grandmaster Chen Qingzhou was widely respected for his precision, martial understanding, and dedication to preserving authentic Chen Family Taijiquan, and played an important role in bringing traditional Chen-style Taiji to the Bay Area and the West.
