This tradition was founded by Yang Luchan. This style was only taught to select family members. This family style was hidden from the public and the Manchurian dictators during the first half of the 18th century. In the early 1950's Grandmaster Wang Yen-Nien began teaching this hidden style to the public. John Cole has studied Taiji Quan with Grandmaster Wang Yen-Nien, and his student Tsuei Wei. He has been teaching this Yang Family style for over 30 years. Iman H. Al-Gharabally has been Master John Cole’s student since 1986; she has also had the privilege to study under Grand Master Wang Yen-Nien and attained her teachers’ certification from Grand Master Wang in 1993. In gratitude to her honorable teachers Iman is dedicated to spreading the YangJia Michuan Taijiquan concepts in Kuwait and the Arabian Gulf.
