Wang Kung Shou Tao

History and Background

Background

Although a Chinese fighting art, Kung Shou of the Wang family had for a100 years been taught in the local district of Koko Nor (Basically Mongolian).

The art was brought to Scotland when Grand Master Wang-Jo-Mei arrived in 1951.Wang-Jo-Mei was educated at Qutan monastery as a Taoist.

 There is little knowledge of the Wang family prior to 1840, as Grand Master Wang-Jo-Mei claimed that one must earn his own fame rather than rely on that of his ancestors, to try and trace the history of one family of Wang in China would be impossible.

The art passed onto Grand Master J. Bell in 1977 and is continued to this day

The instructors were in close contact with Grand Master J. Bell who visited on occasion bringing instruction, wisdom and continuity to the art as it is taught.

Students are periodically graded to ascertain their continuing understanding of the instruction given.  See the Grading Structure page for an overview.
