Yang Style Tai Chi Chuan Association of Malaysia was officially formed in 2006 as a non profit organisation dedicated to the teachings and promotions of traditional Yang Style Tai Chi Chuan, Taichi sword, sabre and push-hands.

Grand Master Yang Lu Chan (楊露禪) the founder of Yang Tai Chi Chuan perfected the Yang Family Tai Chi Chuan and his grandson Master Yang Cheng Fu (楊澄甫) set the standard form of Tai Chi Chuan. Yang style Tai Chi became very popular in China and was later spread throughout the world.

During the early days of 1926, merchants and street medicine traders from China introduced Chinese kungfu and Tai Chi to Malaysia. However the teachings of Tai Chi Chuan were done on a smaller scale.

From 1929 onwards, the Chin Wu Association (精武會) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia promoted Wushu (武術) and other sports activities. Famous Wushu and Tai Chi masters , including the students of Chen Wei Ming (陳微明), Lin Bo Yan (林伯炎) and Tung Yin Kit (董英杰) were invited from China to teach at Chin Wu Association and its branches throughout Malaysia.

In 1957, Chen Man Ching (鄭曼青) and his students Huang Sheng Shyuan and Ye Xiu Ting (葉秀挺) came to Malaysia and promoted Tai Chi Chuan in Sarawak, Sabah, Kuala Lumpur, Pahang, Negeri Seremban and Malacca whilst Ye Xiu Ting taught in northern peninsular, Penang and Thailand.
