Cheng Academy, Kuala Lumpur

Cheng Academy, Kuala Lumpur

The Yap Cheng Hai Academy in Kuala Lumpur is a distinguished institution founded by Grand Master Yap Cheng Hai. It serves as a centre of excellence for traditional Chinese cultural arts, focusing primarily on classical Feng Shui, Qi Gong, and Wu Shu. The academy is not only a learning center but also a repository for a wide range of materials related to Chinese cultural arts, including books, journals, and writings on martial arts, medicine, metaphysics, palmistry, and philosophy.

This establishment addresses two significant needs in the field of Chinese cultural studies: it provides direct access to authentic classical Feng Shui courses and offers these courses in English, an internationally recognized medium. This is particularly important given the increasing global interest in Feng Shui and related arts over the past decade.

The Yap Cheng Hai Academy offers a comprehensive curriculum covering the theories and practices of classical Feng Shui. A key aspect of its program is the professional certification examinations for aspiring classical Feng Shui practitioners, providing a pathway for professional development in this ancient art.

A unique feature of the academy is the teaching of Yan Shou Gong, a form of Qi Gong developed by Grand Master Yap himself. This highlights the academy's commitment to preserving and advancing the knowledge and practices initiated by its founder.

Over the past few years, the academy has expanded its reach by conducting various levels of Feng Shui courses, such as Elementary, Intermediate, Advanced, and Practical Graduate courses, both locally and internationally.
