Nayashen has been studying various styles of Martial Arts since he was  8 years old. As a teenager he became interested in Chinese Internal Martial Arts and started studying the Yang Family Tai Chi System, “which I found to be phenomenal in harmonizing the mind, body and spirit”. As his studies and practice deepened, he discovered the internal art of Yin Style Baguazhang to be complementary to his Tai Chi practice. After completing his training under current Lineage carrier Master He Jinbao in Beijing, he established Dragon Palm Martial Arts in Gauteng with the vision and aim of sharing the benefits of Tai Chi and Baguazhang.
