Terry Hodgkinson’s Wudang Lineage

Terry Hodgkinson Sifu’s training in China started in 2001 when he first visited. Visiting and training in the city of Kunming, as well as near Zhengzhou close to the Shaolin Temple. He finally found a school where he wanted to study formally and the school is on Wudangshan (Mountain). Each year Terry returns back to Wudangshan to continue his studies in Qigong, Taiji, (Tai Chi), Yijing (I Ching) and Taoist philosophy.

Terry’s main teacher on Wudangshan is Zhang Chi Shifu, who is the 26th Generation Master of the Dragon Gate Wudangshan Gung Fu (Kung Fu).

Zhang Chi Shfiu excels in Wudang Tai Chi Quan, Taiyi Wuxing Quan, Xuanwu Quan, Baji Quan, Whisk Quan, Bagua Quan, Xingyi Quan, Tai Chi Sword, Wuxing Qigong, Baduan Jin and Taoist-style health-preserving Qigong. Owing to years of assiduous practice at Wudang, instructions from masters and influence of the traditional Taoist culture, Andy develops a keen interest in the traditional Chinese culture, particularly with respect to the health-preserving methods that integrate the essence of traditional Chinese martial arts and Qigong. Through constant learning, Andy endeavors to be accomplished with both the pen and the sword.

Master Hu is the revered philosophy teacher on Wudangshan. Terry Hodgkinson Shifu has studied the Yijing (I Ching) for a great many years and has been able to advance his studies with Master Hu each year.

Master Hu’s wisdom comes from a great many years of Taoist and Yijing (I Ching) study. Master Hu is the long time teacher for many of the martial arts students and all the instructors at the school Terry Hodgkinson Shifu trains at each year on Wudanghshan.

Master Jia is a jovial Taoist hermit who lives in a cave on Wudnagshan (mountain). Each year Terry visits and spends time learning from the wisdom he has gained in his quest to isolate himself from main society and seek the deeper truths and meaning of life. It’s not often you can spend significant time, with a wise old Chinese Taoist master who lives in the clouds, high up in a mountain cave.
