With an extensive background in traditional martial arts, he went on to study traditional Chinese medicine, specializing in Tui-Na (Chinese manual medicine) therapies. He is currently a licensed acupuncturist in California and holds a Ph.D. in Chinese medicine & acupuncture. Thanks to his patient, the world renowned Bruce Lee disciple Dan Inosanto, Cheng was introduced to Hardstyle kettlebell training pioneer, Pavel Tsatsouline.
