Master Wu's Lineages

In China, traditional arts and disciplines are passed on through a discipleship system. In this system, the acknowledged Master of a given discipline teaches a small circle of students. Traditionally, the Master will always design many obstacles for students, making it difficult to continue studying. Most students will drop off because of these obstacles. When the Master feels the time is right, he (or she) will select the next “lineage holder” from the close-knit circle of students who have had the perseverance to carry on. The lineage holder is then responsible preserving the entire system of knowledge and passing knowledge to others.

Master Wu is the lineage holder of four different schools of Qigong and martial arts:

18th generation lineage holder of the Mt. Wudang Dragon Gate style Qigong (Wudang Longmen Pai 武当龙门派)

8th generation lineage holder of the Mt. Emei Sage/Shaman style Qigong (Emei Zhengong 峨眉真功)

7th generation lineage holder of the Dai Family Heart-Mind internal martial arts (DaiShi XinYi Quan 戴氏心意拳)

12th generation lineage holder of the Wudang He style Taiji (Wudang HeShi Taiji 武当和氏太极)
