Grandmaster John Chi Yuan Tsai
Grandmaster John Chi Yuan Tsai is considered the world's foremost teacher of Shaolin Kung Fu today. He began training at the age of seven under the guidance of the late Grandmaster Chang Chen. Along with Grandmaster Chen the young Master Tsai was accepted as a student by Grandmaster Su Chuen San, his great uncle, the most influential Shaolin stylist in Kaoshiung. It was there that Tsai studied the original forms of northern and southern Shaolin Kung Fu and Nei Chi Kung and focused on his Chi-Body development. Arriving in the United States, Grandmaster Tsai opened his first school in Chicago's Chinatown, initiating a life-long odyssey: teaching the art and philosophy of Kung Fu to both Chinese and American students. The results have been spectacular! Grandmaster Tsai's unique teaching style as well as his involvement in the community has captured the attention of leading publications such as Inside Kung Fu, the Chicago Sun Times, the Chicago Tribune, and the Official Karate Special magazine as well as the attention of top athletes, politicians, judges, lawyers, and radio commentators. Former White Sox pitcher Ross Baumgarten, former Chicago Mayor Mike Bilandic and radio personality Fred Winston and Mega Memory Expert Kevin Trudau are all among the extensive list of students that have studied with Tsai.

His teachings have yielded students holding National, World and Olympic Gold medal championship titles. Olympic Gold Medallist Arlene Limas and National champions Kaimin Tsai and Waysun Tsai, Tsai's two sons, who later became Masters, are among the top students he has trained.
Tsai's teachings and philosophies have produced a long list of successful Masters including Steve Abbate, Kevin Grissum, Mike Locanti, Rocky Lombardo, Fred Miller, John Springer, Charlie Webb, Glenn Wilson and Tim Wright. Tsai's legacy and teachings have been carried on through his hundreds of Black Sash students that continue to spread the Shaolin spirit across the country. Grandmaster Tsai has also worked with numerous civic groups to establish rape prevention, individual self-defense, and health and fitness programs. He has worked as a sheriff with the Cook County Sheriff's Department in Illinois and 16 additional Illinois law enforcement agencies to train officers on self-defense techniques that would aid officers in arrests when needed.
After years of training thousands of external martial artists Grandmaster Tsai has spent the last several years creating an Internal Black Belt lineage. Grandmaster Tsai helps students develop their Chi, the unseen life force within us known as internal energy in Kung Fu. Traditional martial artists and non-martial artists alike seek out Grandmaster Tsai to cultivate their internal energy. Traditional martial artists want to develop their Chi to produce explosive strikes at lightening speed. Non-martial artists commonly cultivate their Chi to improve their mental and physical health. Chi helps to block out pain and enhance healing capabilities. Grandmaster Tsai has developed over 30 at home study programs making it possible for anyone to learn internal or external martial arts from the comfort of their own home. Currently over 1 million copies of his best sellers have been sold. These include "How to Protect Yourself", "How to Protect Yourself Against Weapons" and "Energize Yourself with Chi".
