Grand Master Eddie Wu Kwong Yu – Self Defence

By Chris Leave a Comment

Several years ago I attended a workshop run by  Grand Master Eddie Wu Kwong Yu in Sydney Australia. I flew up from Melbourne and over two afternoons during a weekend joined a small group to learn some basics in Wu Style Tai Chi. A style that I  practice.

As you will see in this clip, Eddie was friendly, direct and had a no nonsense approach to Tai Chi. Something I really appreciated at the time.

One of his demo’s was very powerful. He stood with his back against a wall, made a slight move and the wall vibrated.

In this presentation (held at Tai Chi Club in Los Angeles – 2006) I particularly like his explanation and demonstration of using single whip in a self defence way.

I hope you find this clip helpful.
