  • Howard Wang: Prana Dynamics
    Nov 30 2025

    On today’s episode I had the pleasure to speak with Howard Wang. He has been exploring the theory and practice of Traditional Chinese Kung Fu through multiple disciplines since he was 14 years of age when he first learned the Eight Step Praying Mantis from his father, Grand Master Wang Chieh.

    Howard has studied Traditional Chinese Martial Arts as well as both Eastern and Western spiritual philosophies. Combining the theory and practice of Traditional Chinese Martial Arts and spiritual insights he has summarized the essence of Chinese Kung Fu into “Prana Dynamics”, literally life energy in animation.
