李伟明老師

The Sixth Direct Grand Master of Wu (Hao) Tai Chi Quan from Shanghai, Republic of China.


Master Li Wei Ming was born on January 9th, 1944 at Suatao City, Canton, People’s Republic of China. He moved to Shanghai to continue his education when he was 12 years old. At the age of 15, while he was studying at Tie Ye Kwang, secondary school, a physical teacher appreciated Master Li’s sincere mind and realized that he had good talent. Despite his long experiences in practicing Yang Style Taichiquan, this physical teacher recommended Master Li to practice Wu (Hao) Style Taichiquan instead. Not long afterwards, the physical teacher introduced Master Li to Grand Master Hao Shaoru who was the very famous 5th Direct Descendant Grand Master of Wu (Hao) Taichiquan of China at that time. Since then, Master Li became a close student of the Grand Master Hao Shaoru at Shanghai Sport Institute until the day the Grand Master Hao Shaoru passed away.

Even in the midst of his tight studying schedule at school, Master Li practiced Wu (Hao) Taichichuan with maximum efforts. Not only did he wake up very early at 2 or 3 o’clock in the morning daily to practice but also practiced hard during the daytime whenever he could. As a result, he could develop his Taichiquan skill rapidly under grand master Hao Shaoru’s close attention. Master Li successfully studied and practiced Wu (Hao) Taichiquan in all aspects such as the complete form, sword, sabre, spear, hands pushing, bare hand fighting, Zenfar, and ultimately the internal strength correctly and accurately, both in the theoretical and practical aspects. Due to his excellent skills, Grand Master Hao Shaoru appointed him to be his teaching assistant since he was only 19 years old.

After having graduated from high school, he continued his education in the Department of Chinese Ancient Medical Program, Shanghai University and became a professional Chinese ancient medicine doctor specializing in all aspects such as Tui Na or Chinese physio-therapy, acupuncture, Chinese herb medicine, etc.
