MASTER LI PEIYUN

Master Li Peiyun, born in China, began his martial arts training at the age of seven. He was a member of the prestigious Henan Province Wushu Team and also trained at the Shanghai Physical Education University, the top wushu/physical education university in China. Master Li was not only a top wushu competitor in China but was also trained in the science of wushu and taught to train others in martial arts and healing arts.

1979 Henan Professional Wushu Team

Master Li was a member of the prestigious Henan Professional Wushu team. From 1977 through 1990, Master Li actively competed in China at the national level, winning numerous gold and silver medals in both weapons and forms.

After College

After earning his degree, Master Li taught at Fudan University in Shanghai from 1993 to 1997. There, he instructed in wushu, tai chi, sports nutrition, soccer, track, basketball, and gymnastics. He also conducted self-defense classes for women and physical therapy classes for disabled students. Master Li coached the Fudan University Kung Fu Team for state competitions and was selected by the Shanghai Kung Fu Association to judge at the highest-ranked Chinese National Kung Fu Tournaments.

Relocation to the United States

In April 1997, Master Li relocated to the United States from China and has since become a U.S. citizen. Since Master Li has been in the United States, he has competed nationally and internationally winning grand champion and world titles from organizations such as North American Sport Karate Association (NASKA), National Blackbelt League (NBL), World Kickboxing Association (WKA), and the International Sport Karate Association (ISKA) which was televised on ESPN.

Establishment of Master Li's Training Center

Master Li established his training center (Master Li's Chinese Martial Arts & Internal Healing Center) in Sewell, New Jersey. It is the premier martial arts training facility in the Tri-State Area. Led personally by Master Li Pei Yun, the center offers a wide range of Chinese martial arts and internal healing practices for both children and adults. The spacious training hall provides ample room for practice, and the center specializes in various disciplines including Wushu (Kung Fu), Tai Chi Chuan (also known as Taijiquan), Xing Yi and Qigong. The center offers both group and private lessons, serving Southern New Jersey, Philadelphia, and Delaware.

The Development of Jin Ba Chi®

Jin Ba Chi® is a training method developed by Master Li which combines aspects of wushu, tai chi, qigong, yoga, and modern sports science. Master Li begins nearly all Tai Chi classes with a Jin Ba Chi routine to warm up your joints, expand flexibility, increase strength, and improve balance. Master Li has found that combining the Jin Ba Chi conditioning routine with Tai Chi practice helps individuals progress much more quickly than if they simply practice Tai Chi forms alone.
