Master Gao is an authentic lineage holder of Chinese martial arts Baguazhang and Wu-style Taijiquan, a rare presence in the martial arts community of North America. His teaching system is progressive and well-structured, guiding beginners step by step while also inspiring advanced students to keep refining their skills. Whether it is Taijiquan, standing meditation, or traditional weapons, Master Gao’s instruction combines professionalism, practicality, and creativity—both accessible and profound.

As a teacher, he is upright, dedicated, and relentlessly precise, devoting his full energy to every student. Even with complete beginners, he teaches with great patience, explains carefully, corrects repeatedly, and shares his knowledge without reservation.
