Wun yuen

Wun Yuen Yut Hei Jeung (混元一气掌, Primordial Chaos One Chi Palm) is a Taoist internal martial art which includes chi gung exercises, meditation, push-hands, and the Wun Yuen set of forms. The style of Wun Yuen was founded in the Han Dynasty (206BC - 220AD) by two of the senior disciples of Taoist Master Lao Tzu, named Ngai Bak Yeung and Chiu Chi who developed the style in order to attain and develop the Six Unions. The first five Unions involve focusing on co-ordination of the Body, Heart, Intention, Chi, Spirit, and Movement. The sixth Union outlines the unifying of Movement and Void, that is, the co-ordination of the previous five Unions without the need to focus on them, actions become reflex. This is the Taoist principle of Wu Wei or non-doing, action is spontaneous and effortless.

Wun Yuen Yut Hei means Primordial First Chi, or Original First Breath which refers to the primordial chaos that existed before the dualities of Yin and Yang were formed. Wun Yuen Yut Hei Jeung can also be know as Hun Yuan Yi Qi Zhang (Mandarin), or WYYHG.

THE HISTORY OF WUN YUENThere is little known about Wun Yuen Yut Hei Jeung, beyond that it was created in around 206BC by the Taoist monks Ngai Bak Yeung and Chui Chi. Ngai and Chui were the senior disciples of Lao Tzu, the Taoist sage who lived during the Han Dynasty. Wun Yuen was handed down over the generations to Taoist Monks within the temples and remained a closely guarded art.The Wun Yuen Kung International Martial Arts Association traces its lineage from Sung Sai Wai from Mount Ng-Toi (Wu Tai Shan) who was the first man outside of the Taoist temples to be taught the system. In around 1917 Sung began teaching the Lee family (Lee Cheung Wah, his older brother Lee Cheong Wing and their uncle, Lee Chun Yee) the system of Wun Yuen. In the later part of his life (around 1960), Lee Cheung Wah then taught the system to a Liu He Ba Fa (LHBF) Sifu named Lo Chi Wan who met him while practicing LHBF in the Botanical Gardens in Hong Kong. In 1984 Lo Chi Wan began teaching Wun Yuen to His LHBF student Cornelius Coelho, who later became a Sifu in both systems. Sifu Coelho has since moved to Australia where he formed the Wun Yuen Kung International Martial Arts Association. Sifu Coelho is no longer taking new students in Wun Yuen Yut Hei Jeung.
