Grand Master LU YAOQIN
Grand Master Lu Yaoqin was born in October, 1949 in Fuzhou, Fujian, China. He began his study of martial arts at a very young age with the legendary Ziranmen Grandmaster Wan Laisheng. As a direct disciple for 26 years, he received comprehensive
and genuine teachings from Grandmaster Wan. Master Lu is specialized
in Ziranmen kungfu, Longevity Qigong and Zhang Sanfeng Taijiquan. Master
Lu is also an expert in bone injury treatment, tuina (massage) therapy
and qigong therapy.
In 1989, Lu represented his aged master, Wan Laisheng, to demonstrate Zhang
Sanfeng Taijiquan in the Fujian Province Traditional Fist Competition
and received high recognition. The competition was the first of its
kind for representatives of all fist styles to demonstrate the most
advanced levels of their skills. It was a highly regarded event to
all related parties. In October 1989, Master Lu attended the Martial
Arts Contest between Mainland China and Taiwan with Grandmaster Wan
in Xiamen and exchanged views and discussions about the development
of martial arts on both straits.
In 1990, Master Lu participated in the Sino-Japanese Martial Arts Demonstration.
He demonstrated Liuhe Quan (chi kau lian quan), which thoroughly displayed the
charisma of Ziranmen and received widespread acclaim. His demonstration was reported
with photographic coverage in various newspapers and magazines in Mainland China
and Hong Kong. In 1993, Master Lu led his students to participate in the International
Martial Arts Competition and won five gold medals. During the past decades, Master
Lu has participated in numerous domestic and overseas martial arts competitions
and martial arts cultural exchange activities and received various awards and
medals, contributing greatly to the development of martial arts.
In 1986, Master Lu founded the Natural Style Martial Arts Academy in Fuzhou,
which name was personally inscribed by Grandmaster Wan Laisheng. He also opened
classes for bone injury treatment, tuina massage, qigong and dianxue (striking
vital points) therapy in joint efforts with the Bone Injury Faculty of the Fujian
Chinese Medicine School.
Over the years, Master Lu has trained thousands of outstanding talents, laying
a strong foundation for the succession of Ziranmen in the generations to come,
and fulfilling the final wish of Grandmaster Wan. Many domestic and overseas
