Master Wu Mao
Gui · Tong Bei Quan
Master
Wu Mao Gui is one
of Shanghai's best fighters. He has perfected his style of martial
arts. But he is not a fighter in the way that western people think
of a top fighter. He is a "Master Internal Martial Artist"
meaning that he uses all aspects of his body's structure and alignment,
(internal power) in developing and issuing powerful strikes in
a fighting situation. He has achieved this unique power through
many years of dedicated practice to the martial art of Tong Bei.
His
specialty is the use of Tong Bei power. Tong Bei in Chinese means
"through the back" and it refers to the path of that
internal power. When you see him doing his forms, his movements
look very smooth, flowing seamlessly from one to the next, but
internally there are many movements going on that are hidden from
the untrained eye. His footwork is perfect enabling him to approach
an opponent before he knows that the distance between them has
been closed. He is very soft in his movements and also at the
same time very strong. He can change the speed from slow to very
fast. Tong Bei allows the practitioner to defend from attacks
in all directions and none demonstrate this ability as Master
Wu Mao Gui. In addition, Tong Bei movements are a great way to
improve one's health.
