About Master Jarry

Master Jarry A. Walia has been a devout student, practitioner, and instructor of Wing Chun Kuen and Taiji Quan for most of his life. He was born at the foothills of the Himalayas in Himachal Pradesh region, India, and lived in the UK and Canada for most of his adult life. Jarry has traveled extensively to study in the pursuit of knowledge, to further his practice and to teach students in China, Hong Kong, Japan, Europe, and the US.

Through his culture and personal interest, he has spent a lifetime studying and practicing eastern philosophy and spirituality. In the practice of Wing Chun Kuen, he has had 3 highly skilled teachers with in-depth knowledge of the art from whom he was fortunate and committed in receiving personal and private tutelage and mentorship. Some of his teachers were direct students of the revered Yip Man.
Jarry has learnt this system in a very traditional method which he honours and practices to this day. In the practice of Taiji Quan, he has studied in the branch of Hong Quan Chen Shi Taiji Quan (Hong Method, Chen-Style Taiji as opposed to Chen Family style Taiji).

His teacher was a student of Hong Jun Sheng, who himself was a student of the revered Chen Fake; said to be the most prominent and highly skilled teacher of Chen-Style Taiji in recent history.

Jarry believes that these systems should be practiced daily, fluidly, and without wavering of commitment or distraction as a basic self-directed necessity of sustaining one’s life. The holistic practice of Wahe results in vibrant physical health, mental clarity, longevity, wisdom, and a personal-spiritual connection.
Jarry is a highly achieved individual and a man of principle. From having built and operated a number of businesses, being an accomplished chef, teaching himself a variety of trades and specialty works, mentoring his family into building a successful business empire, and surviving – with grace and strength – the infliction of false accusations and ill intentions by others.

One of Jarry’s life philosophies is “do for others at the expense of yourself” in an attempt to convey the message that one should give more than he seeks to receive. One of many concepts geared to build great character and ethics.

The way of Wahe is the culmination of these systems, understandings, and personal practices designed to better oneself.
