West Lake ~ Hangzhou, China
A young looking, round faced, petite girl of 15 years walks slowly down the old, wet cobblestone path to a large wood-carved door set in a moss-covered stone wall. Above the door she sees the words “WU SHU.” She wonders
….. “What is Wushu?” Not comfortable with fighting and wanting to leave, the officials asked her to train for one month.
As she moves through the doorway with intention, the chaos of the cultural upheaval fades away.
She then steps with grace and strength into the world of Wushu and the Touchstones in her life.
Aiping Cheng was a Six-Time Member of the elite Chinese National Wushu Team

In 2021, after more than 50 years of immersion in Chinese Wushu and Tai Chi, Grandmaster Aiping Cheng officially semi-retired from teaching. Her impact, however, continues to ripple through the lives of her students.
Through lessons, workshops, performances, and personal guidance she helped thousands experience the benefits of Chinese Wushu and Tai Chi as a way of life.
“To move with grace is to live with intention.” — Aiping Cheng
