Master Benson Lee's Eagle Claw Kung Fu is a lineage branch of the Lau Family Eagle Claw Faan Tzi Moon system.  Taught and passed down since the mid-1800's in Hebei Province, near Beijing, to Shanghai, to Southern China into Hong Kong, Malaysia, Taiwan, and later to the U.S.A. from Hong Kong by Grandmaster Leung Shum in New York City. 

 

Shum learned since 8 years old, from Grandmaster Ng Wai Nung, his godfather.  Ng's lineage (c.1925) is from Great GMs Lau Fat Mang and Chan Tzi Ching.  Ng Wai Nung was one of Lau Fat Mang's most senior and top students who assisted Lau in teaching

 WHAT IS WU STYLE TAI CHI?
Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan is one of the 4 major family styles of Tai Chi, the others being Chen, Yang, and Sun.  Tai Chi has martial art concepts & moving physical meditation combined and developed over generations to improve health, well-being, focus & relaxation through slow movements and deep breathing coordination.  Build a sense of inner peace through flowing movements, breathing naturally, Yin and Yang balance, and developing a physical & mental concentration through a stronger mind/body connection.  Application concepts of the movements are discussed to develop a stronger connection and a deeper understanding of intent within the classical Wu Style Tai Chi form.  Take a break from your hectic daily pace and unplug from the noise.  Reconnect with your inner self through Tai Chi exercise and moving meditation.  Instruction is step by step while learning gradually without rush at your own pace facilitates the benefits.
