Yan Huang encompasses some of the finest points of Chinese culture, including Traditional Chinese Medicine, Language, Qigong and Martial Arts. The college’s founder Dr Wen has studied all these arts for many years in mainland China. His ambition to bring his knowledge to the west was fulfilled in 1991 when he set up his first Martial Arts classes in London. San Ling Centre in Swiss Cottage quickly followed, there are now many San Ling clinics throughout London. It was always Dr Wen’s ambition to set up a college where these arts could be taught and spread further and finally Yan Huang College will realise these ambitions.
Set in its easy to access central London location at 58-60 Hampstead Road, by Warren Street Station, Yan Huang College will offer three floors of Chinese traditional skills and learning, in a friendly and comfortable environment.
The arts are often separated into two categories. These are "internal" meaning they emphasize the use of Qi energy (Qi is the universal energy found in all living things) and "external" meaning they emphasize the physical aspect. The internal forms are generally seen as the trinity of Tai Chi, Xing Yi and Ba Gua. The external forms, such as Shaolin Kong Fu, while emphasising physical skills, do not ignore the internal side, forms such as "Tongbei" and "Mian" Quan ("Through the back" and "Cotton" Fists) both rely heavily on the use of internal energy.
Dr Wen started learning Martial Arts at the age of 8 with his grandfather, Master Peng Qing, and trained under Masters Sha Guo-Zheng and He Fu-Sheng. Dr Wen teaches many styles and welcomes men and women, young and old.
Yan Huang Martial Arts College offers various classes & private instruction is also available. Dr Wen also offers an instructor training course.

Traditional Chinese Medicine has been used in China for well over 2000 years and still provides about half the medical treatment in China today. It includes the use of herbal treatment, acupuncture, acupressure and tuina massage, and the practise of Qigong exercises. All these methods work on the principle of balancing the Yin and Yang, regulating the flow of Qi energy in the channels and harmonising the function of the different organs. They look at the person as a whole, treating not only the symptoms but also the root of the problem, and promoting the person's own natural healing power. Yan Huang College will offer courses in learning Traditional Chinese Medical skills.
