Wu Kuang-yu

Eddie Wu is the great-grandson of the late Wu Jianquan, and grandson of the late Wu Gongyi. His two sons, Austin Wu Chung Him (吳仲謙, born 1972) and Edward Wu Chung Wai (吳仲偉, born 1974) are also instructors in their family's school.

Eddie Wu started learning tai chi at the age of 6 from his grandfather Wu Gongyi, with whom he lived till age 12. Thereafter, Eddie Wu moved back to live with his father Wu Ta-k'uei and continued learning until he left for university. He later graduated and worked as an engineer for several years.

In 1975, Wu Daqi started the first western hemisphere Wu family school in Toronto, Canada. Shortly afterwards, he invited his thirty-year-old nephew Eddie Wu to take over the Toronto school's instruction.

Eddie Wu has promoted Wu-style tai chi in Asia, North America and Europe, with schools that recognise his supervision in Toronto, Fredericton, Ann Arbor, Metropolitan Detroit, New Jersey, Hawaii, London (England), Hong Kong, Singapore, Greece and Malaysia. He is assisted by his sister Cynthia Wu Hsiao Fung (born 1949).

• Although many styles were passed down to respective descendants of the same family, the lineage focused on is that of the Wu style & not necessarily that of the family.
