Master Gao Tieniao

Master Gao Master Gao Tie-Niao was born in Wujin, Jiang Su Province, in China in 1948. He showed great interests in martial arts even when he was very little. Early on he became the apprentice of famous Shaolin master Jin Xiang-Bao.

He studied all sorts of external styles such as Shaolin Quan and all kinds of weapons, including sword, broadsword, spear, staff, hook etc. After practicing very hard he built up a strong martial arts foundation and received the essence of master Jin’s teachings.

At the age of 18, he was recommended to study with master Pei Xi-Rong, who was a very famous official descendant of Wudang style martial arts and Qigong in Shanghai. Master Gao then started practicing Wudang internal martial arts, such as Xingyiquan, Baguazhang, Taijiquan, Qigong and other internal gongfu (skills). He also studied traditional Daoism theories, I Ching (book of changes), Chinese medicine, acupuncture, Tuina (Chinese traditional massage).

Master Gao is very talented and diligent. After studying very hard and close with master Pei for more than 40 years he has gained a very wide and deep knowledge of the internal style martial arts, he excels and masters it both in practice and in it’s theories. His movements are powerful, swift and beautiful.

He is a well-liked teacher with a good eye for details, is generous in his teachings and patient with his students. As the official inheritor of master Pei’s arts he hopes very much to fulfill his masters last wish, to promote the skills, morals and virtues of Chinese traditional martial arts and culture.

To do this master Gao has contributed his efforts to promote Chinese traditional Wushu and Qigong both in China and abroad. He is working for many different organizations, to name a few, as chairman and main coach of Shanghai Baguazhang Association, as chairman of Shanghai Wudang Qigong Study Institute and as secretary of Shanghai Wudang Martial Arts Institute. He has students in China, USA, Canada, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Japan, Singapore and Hongkong.

Internal Summercamp 2009

Internal Kung Fu Summercamp 2009 med Master Gao Tieniao

Master Gao är en av de ledande instruktörerna i Shanghai. I över 50 år har han utövat sina färdigheter och är idag en kunnig mästare inom ett antal stilar och dicipliner. Kung Fu Hälsa kom i kontakt med honom i Stockholm och blev imponerad av hans kunskaper. Det är därför nu extra roligt att vi kan ha honom här i Malmö. Detta är en unik mölighet att få kunskap om traditionell kinesisk kampkonst.

De stilar som han blivit ombedd att undervisa i är Xinyi Liuhe Quan, Baguazhang och Tai Chi Chuans solfjäderform. Tre träningsformer med helt olika karaktär. Alla underbara på sitt sätt. Traditionellt är alla dessa beprövade kung fu stilar för strid och kamp. Nu för tiden har de utvecklats till stora hälsotraditioner vilket främjar en sund kropp och ett långt friskt liv.

Xinyi Liuhe Quan med karaktären av en stolt tupp, mjuk midja som draken, axlar som en björn, och huvud som en tiger. Detta är kung funs anfader. Bilden av två stridstuppar som anfaller med sina klor snabbt och ursinningslöst.

Baguazhang med sina märkliga steg i en cirkel,  med drakens skruvande och ringlande kropp och ett rörelsemönster med armrörelser som är så komplext att det nästan inte går att förstå.

Tai Chi Chuans solfjäder med sina mjuka fläktande rörelser från tranans vingar och  sina dödliga stötar med ormens precisionssäkerhet. Graciöst som en sommarkväll men i gräset lurar faran.

Introduction of Weng Chun in Sweden part 2

Sifu Andreas and Sije Maria at Malmoe Wing Tsun School

Among the many things our Grandmaster taught us was the explanation of heaven, man and earth as concepts for distance and height and also the meaning of connecting the parts of your body but also the separation (The Rocket), a precondition for Weng Chun. The more advanced practitioners where allowed to let off steam while doing “Dim-Chi-Sao” which my partner Sifu Henrik from Copenhagen and I did enthusiastically. At the end of the first day every one had his head full of ideas and exercices and got home with a lot of inspiration. The long break in the afternoon and our dinner at the restaurant gave opportunity to many exchanges of ideas about martial arts and we could all get to know each other more. I got a feeling that the people from Malmö were quiet open minded and interested in new things. I stayed in a wonderful youth hostel for the night.Sunday

23.11.2008

On the next morning I headed to the Wing Chun school together with Sifu Jonas Evertsson who lives close to the youth hostel. The beautiful morning an the fresh air immediately rose our desire for training. We used the short walk to the school to exchange ideas about martial arts and arrived at our destination just before the beginning of the seminar.

The program was marvelous again. Sigung talked about circling movements in fights. It was wonderful that again one exercice flowed into another. You could really get a feeling of Lau if your partner was up to the task. I was very happy with the quality of training my partner, a student from Malmö, allowed for. The energy he used when exercising was just right and it was a pleasure to flow from one exercise into another. More and more I got the impression that the trainig culture in the school of our hosts enabled them to have a very instructive training in a relaxed atmosphere. Again and again Sigung compared our daily life and the situation a fighter finds himself in. Unbalance between the external speed of the world and our internal speed leads to stress and a lot of pressure and deprives us of our power. A good fighter always imposes his rhythm on his opponent.

Introduction of Weng Chun in Sweden part 1

Sije Maria, Sifu Andreas, and Sifu Henrik

Saturday 22.11.2008

After a quite uncomfortable night we drove to Malmö which is only about 40 minutes away from Copenhagen by car. We were all pretty curious about how the Wing Chun people whould react to a very different and new martial art. At first sight the school made a really pleasant impression and all the people in the kitchen talking and drinking tee spread an easy and friendly atmosphere. It was very pleasing to see so many people from Weng Chun schools in Denmark and England that had come to support Sigung with his very first seminar held in Sveden.

After Sifu Henrik from Sweden had welcomed Sigung, and all of us, Sigung startet the seminar with an explenation about the common or similar things, in our styles, that you can find throughout our history, the philosophy and our movements. He mentioned places that hat been of great importance to both styles for example the red boat or Fatshan. We started the pratical part of the seminar with the first section of Sap Yat Kuen which Sigung used to explain differences in the styles. He mentioned the dragon riding stance, the hole body movement with a special use of our hip that allows for Lau and Ying and Yang to be expressed. Sigung also talked about our different fighting stances and their meaning as well as our footwork.

As soon as we had finished with this part we started with one hand Chi Sao. Sigung animated our new friends to use all the space available in the training room to try “pushing and pulling” while using big steps in order to get a better feeling of “Lau”. Sigung complemented our new friends from Sweden on their quiet noticable ease with which they realized the exercices shown to them. Many of the Wing Chun people from Malmö also train Bagua, Xinyi Liuhe Quan and Tai Chi Chuan which explains their abilities in flowing.
