About Fu Style

The Fu Style Internal Martial Arts System, Wudang Chuan, was created by Master Fu’s grandfather, Fu Zhen Song, who was one of the Five Northern Tigers. Fu Style is characterized by strong, supple and lively movements of the hips and waist, placing emphasis on footwork and whole body movement. As well as being soft and expansive, the forms require twisting and turning and leaning forward and backward to increase the degree of movement in the hips, waist and shoulders so that movement of the entire body is brought into play.

Placing emphasis on full body movement makes Fu style unique among the internal martial arts. Whether the students focus is on health or self defense, the study of Fu Style martial arts (Tai Chi Chuan, Liang Yi Chuan, Ssu Xiang Chuan, Hsing Yi Chuan, Pa Kua Zhang, plus other fist and weapon sets) will bring benefits not easily found in other systems.

Master Victor Fu ShengLong began his training in Fu Style with his father, Fu Wing Fay, when he was five years old. As a child, Master Fu competed in many tournaments and at the age of 13 placed 1st in the Guangdong Provincial Youth Tournament. In 1984 he became a member and director of the Guangzhou Municipal Wudang Boxing Research Society and in 1985 a Member & Committee member of the Guangzhou Municipal Wushu Association. In 1988 he was confirmed 2nd class judge of Wushu by the Guangzhou Municipal Sports Committee.

In 1989 Master Fu moved to Vancouver, BC, Canada and in 1990 opened his own school to teach his family martial arts system. He also began teaching in local community centers, through continuing education and in over 30 long-term care facilities in and around Vancouver.
