Teacher Miao Dian 妙滇 (Miào diān) was born in 1977, in Athens. At a very young age he tasted the bitter side of life and lived his first years in the largest orphanage in Athens. The George Chatzikonsta orphanage.
Later he was forced to migrate along with his father in Germany where he began being taught Shaolin Gong Fu, under the strict supervision of his guardian and teacher Liang Che, until his teacher passed away.
His love for martial arts led him three times to the Song Mountain, in China. Twice with his teacher and once after his teacher’s death, which proved to be the most important of all. There he became the disciple of master Heng Jun 恒君 (Héng jūn). Under the guidance and the teachings of his teacher he was brought forward to the abbot Yan Fo 延佛 (Yán fú) of the Fa Wang monastery 法王寺 (Fǎ wáng sì), a 34th generation senior teacher of the monastery.

Teacher Miao Dian continues to study up to today in Shaolin monastery under the supervision of his teacher Yan Ao 延奥 (Yán ào), with the blessings of the abbot Yong Xin 永信 (Yǒng xìn).
