Sifu Whitlow

Sifu Whitlow is a member of the Wu Clan and practices in their tradition. He is among few masters of the art without a Chinese nationality. Master of both Southern and Northern styles of Chinese Martial arts, Sifu Whitlow is a politically ostracized Chan disciple of African-American descent. As an adopted son of Wu Clan Gung Fu, Whitlow was given the name Hen Loi Wei and the title of Shifu. Additionally he is the founder and father of the Wu Gung Tao and its grandmaster. This system finds its origin in the Wu Clan Gung Fu Institute which originated under the direction of Grandmaster Shifu Loi Wei before his untimely death on March 20, 2002. Sifu Whitlow continues to teach today. Many of his students are listed below.
