Grandmaster Huang usually conducts seminars in the school twice a year. The topics vary and include elements related to External Arts (Kung Fu) and/or Internal Arts (Tai Chi, Hsing-I, and Pa Kua). Additionally, many seminars either expand on an element in the general curriculum or are teaching something not available in the curriculum. Many of our students attend these seminars because it is the fastest way to learn directly from Grandmaster Huang (he normally only teaches Instructors and advanced students), or because the topic is not in the current curriculum. Seminars are available to anyone. You do not have to be a USKA student to attend these seminars. When a seminar is announced, this webpage will be updated with the details, so check back regularly to take advantage of these unique learning opportunities.

Below are some photos from a Baquazhang seminar recently conducted by Grandmaster Huang.

Grace and Power

Martial arts grandmaster promotes peace through practice at his Owings Mills studio
By Linda L. Esterson
Dressed in black sweatpants and a black sweatshirt, Huang Chien-Liang circles the room, observing.

Then he curtly speaks out a command, and the six men dressed in red jackets respond with the appropriate Tien Shan Pai move.

With a slight smile, the gray-haired, distinguished-looking man of average height nods his approval. A minute later, he makes a small correction, gesturing the need for a sharper kick or more of a turn.

He demonstrates with swift, fluid movements, changing positions with authority. Continue reading...

Grandmaster Huang has operated schools in the Baltimore area for nearly 25 years, starting in 1984. The U.S. Kuoshu Academy and its predecessor school, the Chinese Kuoshu Institute (formerly named the Chinese Kung Fu Institute), have been active and respected members of the Baltimore community.

Since 1989, Grandmaster Huang and his students have held several martial arts demonstrations, raising tens of thousands of dollars for various charitable causes, including Walkathon, Muscular Dystrophy, Baltimore II Rebuild, The Johns Hopkins Children’s Center, and most recently:

  • Event held in 1998 raised $5,100 for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and Commemorated Grandmaster Huang’s 25 years of Instruction in US
  • Event held in 2001 raised $3,800 for the families of victims of 9/11 attacks
  • Event held in 2005 raised $5,100 for the St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital
