Descending from a long line of martial artists, he began his studies at the age of thirteen. His great-grandfather Liu Kun studied Taiji Quan with Yang Jian Ho and Yang Cheng Fu, as well as Tong Bei Quan with Wang Qin Zhou, the Gong Fu brother-in-arms of Zhang Chu, the greatest martial artist of the third generation of the Tong Bei lineage. The secrets of Taiji and Tong Bei were passed down to him by his grandfather Jun Tin (1895-1957) and his brother Jun Feng. He was a visiting teacher at the school from 2008 to 2010.
