In 1966, when
Grand Master Liu retired from his post as Chairman of the Civil Defence Force
in The Republic of China, he accepted twelve disciples to pass down his
skills. He named his school Wutan. Most of these disciples, including my own
Master, were already highly-skilled martial artists before commencing their
studies with him. Some had been teaching in their own right for a long time
and consequently brought all their students with them to WUTAN. Grand Master Liu Yun Qiao passed his skills down to many disciples,
and many of these masters have spread their knowledge and skill throughout
the world. One of Grand Master Liu's favourite disciples was Master Wu Song Fa, who was
already a very skilful and proficient martial artist before he was accepted
as a student of Grand Master Liu. He trained under strict supervision for six
hours a day for many years before Grand Master Liu Yun
Qiao finally accredited Master Wu as having
mastered the arts of Wutan. He was subsequently instructed to
return home in order to promote the teaching of Wutan, the school that was
founded by Master Liu Yun Qiao,
Here in UK Wutan is also very well
received by the public who love authentic traditional Chinese martial arts.
In 1986, Grand Master Liu Yun Qiao grated the school the
permission to use Wutan as it name. Many students including some
instructors of other martial arts system have come to Sifu
They to learn some of his skill, many passed on the knowledge they learnt by
adding into their own system. Majority prefer the tradition Chinese martial
arts they learn to be as close as possible to the one that have been scrutiny by history of 1997 Sifu
They feel that many of the students has proved their
commitment to the arts of WUTAN and are ready to move another level up. 12
were selected as formal student of Master Wu Song Fua.
Wutan is now the Students of Wutan
are first taught the systems which were brought into Wutan by the twelve
disciples. The curriculum of Wutan International UK's Branch was divided into
internal and external systems. The internal system embraces the teaching of :
Tai Chi, Pa Kua and Hsing-I, whereas
the external system includes both the Northern and Southern fighting styles
such as: Wing
Chun, Choi Lei fut,
Praying Mantis, kickboxing(competition Kung Fu) and 18 weapons systems. Students who have
a proven record of being well-disciplined and of good character will be
taught the superior system that Grand Master Liu professed. These
restrictions are important and necessary, as the systems passed down by Grand
Master Liu are too dangerous to be in the hands of the irresponsible. The
degree of their efficiency can be measured by the responsible positions that
some of Great Grand Master Li's disciples held. The closed-door disciple Grand Master Liu
was appointed as a bodyguard in chief, responsible for protecting the premier
of The Republic Of China, President Chiang Kai Shek,
and his successors. The eldest disciple, Fou Tien Kok was appointed as a
teacher of martial arts and as bodyguard to Pu Yi,
the last Emperor of China. Another disciple Li Chian Wu was appointed head martial arts trainer for
Chairman Mao Tsi Tung, the first chairman of the
People's Republic Of Out of the
