Timeline

1945

Zhang Luping (1945-1998) was a Chinese martial artist and mathematician born in Jiaxing, Zhejiang province.

He was best known in China for his exceptional skill at tai chi's push hands, and for an incident in his hometown in which he accidentally broke a weightlifting champion’s forearm during an arm wrestling match.

He was a student of Cai Hong Xiang, Wang Zi-Ping, and Xie Bingcan.

He was also a descendant of Zhang Jun and of Zhang Jiugao, who was the brother of Zhang Jiuling.

He was noted for his deep knowledge of the five styles of tai chi, his superb application of the principles, and his highly developed internal power.

In an age when many great martial arts teachers remained reluctant to share their highest insights and techniques, Zhang championed in his teaching an attitude of openness and a strong desire to ensure the continuation of Chinese martial traditions.

Zhang started learning Shaolin Kung Fu when he was 13 years old from Shaolin and Jin Woo grandmaster Fang Nan Tang (方南堂).

He learned Chen-style taijiquan from many Chen lineage holders, including Dong Xiang Gen (董祥根) and Du Wen Cai (都文才).

whom was the last student of Chen Zhao Kui (陈照奎).

His form was also corrected by grandmaster Gu Liu Xin (顾留馨) (a former student of Chen Fake, Sun Lutang, and Chen Weiming, who corrected his style with a level of detail that would set him apart from other Chen style practitioners).

Zhang also studied Wu style tai chi with master Sun Ren Zhi (孙润志) and Xin Yi, another internal style similar to tai chi, with the well-known Shang Hai-based master, "Little Tiger" Zhang Hai Sheng (小老虎章海深), who was highly respected for his skill in combat.

Zhang earned his master's degree in mathematics at East Normal University in Shang Hai under Prof. Cheng Chang Ping (陈昌平教授), who had done extensive mathematics work with Prof. Wolf Von Wahl at the University of Bayreuth in West Germany.

Zhang also studied under professor Wang Guang Yin (王光寅) at the math research department of Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing.

1975

In 1975, Zhang became the Zhejiang Province chen style tai chi champion.

1983

In 1983, Zhang published an article in The Mathematical Journal (数学学报) entitled “Hλ solutions of the 1st class of Fuchs type equations with operator coefficients” (一类具算子系数的Fuchs型方程的Hλ解) with his colleague Wang Ju Yan (王继延).

Zhang Luping was known in the academic community for his ground-breaking work in differential equations.

1985

He came to the United States in 1985 for a master's degree in mathematics at Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA, following which he completed a doctorate degree and a post doctorate degree at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst under Prof. M. S. Berger.

Manny Fuentes had the 'privilege of being thrown around by him'. No matter how well Manny thought that he'd prepared a pending movement, he said that he was moved as easily as if he were a leaf, not a 175-pound man! By the time Zhang manifested the spiraling force up into his arms and hands, it contained an irresistible momentum."

In November of 1994, he co-authored with professor Berger a paper published by International Publications for the PanAmerican Mathematical Journal entitled “A New Method for Large Quasiperiodic Nonlinear Oscillations with Fixed Frequencies for the Non-dissipative Second Order Conservative System of the Second Type” about the communication of applied nonlinear analysis.

After completing his post-doctorate work, he taught mathematics at the University of California, Irvine and the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.
