Our Lineage
Our Teacher is Grand Master Bob Weatherall, founder of the Wha Duc Lung School of Gung Fu and Wha Duc Lung Martial Arts Association, former secretary of the BCCMA and Student of the late Luk Chi Fu. Grand Master Bob was one of the first Occidentals to go to Hong Kong to train in Gung Fu in the 1960's. Wha Duc Lung was the name given to Grand Master Bob by Luk Chi Fu, roughly translated it means 'Skinny White Dragon'!
Our family style is Northern White Crane (Pak Hok Pai). We teach this combined with Wha Duc Lung, Northern Shaolin and Yang Style Tai Chi Chuan.
