A lifelong mission
Master Zhen Hua Yang is an internationally respected energy and health expert, carrying a family lineage of over 400 years of internal arts and healing knowledge. His journey weaves together ancient wisdom, world-class teachers, personal struggle, and profound realisations that continue to shape the Calligraphy Health method today.
Trained since two years old
A tradition with a long lineage
Guided by his grandfather, Master Yang was introduced to his first teacher, the legendary monk and martial artist Hai Deng, famous for the one-finger handstand. Under his personal guidance, Master Yang trained with great dedication. He was then entrusted to a Daoist master who deepened his understanding of Yin-Yang balance, Qi (energy), and the principles of human longevity. These teachings – combined with his family system – became the bedrock of his lifelong practice.
From martial arts to compassion
As a young adult, Master Yang moved to Australia. In the early 2000s, he began publicly teaching his family martial system, Yang Mian, at his Sydney dojo. This system developed explosive internal power (Fa Jin), Steel Hand, Steel Body, Reflex Mind, and more – training not only fighters but also professional athletes seeking speed, endurance, and resilience. The same principles of internal energy could be channelled into healing, vitality, and wellbeing. This was a bridge from martial arts toward compassionate health practices.
A turning point: life’s purpose revealed
In 2008, a profound spiritual awakening gave Master Yang clarity about his true calling: to focus on health, harmony, and wellbeing for modern people. Synthesising decades of martial arts mastery, personal healing, and the wisdom of his teachers, he shaped these principles into a form that could be easily practised in daily life – accessible to anyone, regardless of age or background. This was the birth of Calligraphy Health, now his life’s mission and passion.
Inspiring students around the world
With over 50 years of dedicated practice, Master Yang has guided thousands of people across the globe. His students include both everyday people and renowned figures such as Lama Ole Nydahl, Head of the Karma Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism; Olympic gold medallist snowboarder Torah Bright; Olympic swimmer and world record holder Matt Jaukovic; Commonwealth Games gold medallist fencer Frank Bartolillo; and internationally acclaimed musician Estas Tonne.
Through his teaching, Master Yang continues to transmit not only skills but also the essence of vitality, harmony, and compassion.
Master Yang is a true expert in energy, natural health and wellbeing. His lifetime of practice is brought to the modern world in an accessible and fun way. He empowers his students to heal themselves, regain a connection to their essence and live productive, happy lives. In a world of ‘one-minute experts’, quick fixes and wonder drugs, Master Yang offers a solid alternative to bring the body, mind and soul back into harmony in a natural, safe and effective way.

Calligraphy Health is unlike anything I have come across. I have come to understand a whole other layer of human movement & energy flow. The “old-school” method of learning that Master Yang uses has been invaluable to me. Many thanks to Master Yang for spreading the knowledge & wellbeing benefits of Calligraphy Health. I feel blessed.

Calligraphy Health tough to slow down, to connect with myself and to heal emotional trauma. The speed of my life changed and I have started to enjoy and find my passion for life. Thank you, Master Yang, for helping me to understand on a deep level respect, peace and harmony.

I broke my back when training with a young horse and met Master Yang a few days later, still in my back brace. I wouldn’t have been where I am today without him. Calligraphy Health sped up my healing and transformed my whole life.
