Grand Master Chan Kun Wah

Grand Master Chan Kun Wah was brought up in a small village in northern Hong Kong. He was a typically mischievous young boy, loving Kung Fu and other such exciting arts. When Grand Master Chan was fourteen years old Great Grand Master Chue Yuen selected him to study feng shui as his only student. Initially Grand Master Chan was totally disinterested because he preferred studying with his Kung Fu Master and early mornings and wet feet, following his Master into the high mountains, was not really his thing! Grand Master Chan felt that as a young boy he would be more suited to chasing girls, not chasing the dragon! Also, Grand Master Chan did not understand what feng shui was all about; after all, you can’t see it or hear it! However, between one and three o’clock in the morning the chi is quite pure; you can hear things more clearly as it is quiet and see farther as there is less pollution. It is the right time to sense the chi. Gradually, Grand Master Chan began to understand and sense how energy moved, purely from the experience of following his Master from mountain to mountain to ‘trace the mountain dragon chi’.


Great Grand Master Chue Yuen firstly taught his student the ‘form school’ style of feng shui then the ‘compass school’ style of feng shui that included the Ba Chop, Sam Hap, Sam Yuan and Yuen Hom, as well as the I Ching and how to read and interpret Personal Chinese Horoscopes. Great Grand Master Chue Yuen was extremely accomplished in accurately reading horoscopes. He read in Grand Master Chan’s horoscope that he needed to move abroad to the UK. He needed to practice doing consultations and horoscopes for people but was warned not to charge for them. He was told to research, study and improve his feng shui skills and start an Imperial Feng Shui School after his fiftieths birthday. He even indicated when Grand Master Chan would become a very famous Feng Shui Master.

Grand Master Chan followed his Master’s advice carefully. Over the years prior to his fiftieth birthday he made a normal living with his wife and two children in and around Edinburgh as a restaurateur. In his spare time he offered to do up to ten free consultations for people per year. The aim was to see how successful he was in improving the lives of these people as well as recognizing and fixing any energetic problems within the property. When he had succeeded in six out of ten of these consultations he had then passed his examination. If, however, he only had five successful results then he had failed! When he had seven successful results he became a Master. However, as Grand Master Chan is a sensitive and kind man, he wished to help everyone so he practiced and practiced until he was succeeding to consistently get ten out of ten!! 

Thus it was that Grand Master Chan spent 40 years on research! The fact that he is still researching to this day is testament to his dedication. As Grand Master Chan’s lineage stretches back to the Masters of the Imperial Courts of China he decided to found a school called the Imperial School of Feng Shui and Chinese Horoscopes in 1997 in Edinburgh, Scotland. His quest being to teach and advance the knowledge we have of the many different techniques of feng shui. This he envisioned making available to as many people as were truly interested. He is passionate, determined and extremely hard working and this in very evident in the way that he leads his students. He is very aware of the hope and trust that people expect of him and all his students when doing a consultation and is relentless in his endeavor to train his students to a very high standard. This he did by initially offering a two year Vocational Feng Shui and Chinese Horoscope Course, which culminated in an examination on a property. The students had then to prove their ability to find an energetic problem in the property and offer recommendations as to how to remedy the situation to help its occupants. They also had to prove their understanding and application of the Ba Chop (Eight Houses), Sam Hap (Three Combination), Sam Yuan (Three Periods), Yuen Hom (Everything or Nothing), which is the most powerful style of Flying Star as well as the Double Mountain Element Method and Form School (how the object in the specific environment affected the property). His students also had to understand the Ba Zi (Chinese Astrology), the I Ching and how to correctly read the unique lopan (Chinese Compass) that Grand Master Chan designed and produced that details all his teachings. The most important qualities that any student should have are a good heart, an honest soul and a respect for his or her Master.

Since opening the first Imperial Feng Shui School in Edinburgh many of his students have felt inspired to open their own schools to continue teaching the profound and valuable information that Grand Master Chan unfolded to them in the two year Vocational Course. There are now Imperial Feng Shui Schools that stretch all around the world from England, France, Switzerland, Italy, Finland, Germany, Spain, Sweden, Canada, USA, India and Kenya. More new schools are planned for Holland, Belgium, Wales, Denmark and Norway etc.

The Edinburgh based Imperial School of Feng Shui and Chinese Horoscopes now offers only advanced ‘Master classes’ with Grand Master Chan Kun Wah. 


As his Master, Great Grand Master Chue Yuen founded the Chinese Horoscope and Feng Shui Research Association in China, so Grand Master Chan wished to found a similar Association in Great Britain. He succeeded in doing this in 2001 when he became the President of the ‘Chue Foundation’. This name was chosen to show respect for the teachings that came from Grand Master Chan’s Master, Great Grand Master Chue Yuen. The lineage of this style of Feng Shui dates back to the time of the Imperial Courts of China. Its forty or so members soon swelled to double that by 2003. Chue Foundation members need to have passed the two-year Vocational Course. The aim of the Foundation is to promote its members and research aspects of feng shui, advancing it into a bright and knowledgeable future. 

Grand Master Chan is a gentle man with the looks of a man at least 10 years his junior. He is softly spoken and humble in his manners. He lives and breathes his work and takes the responsibility of his work very much to heart.
