History of Wah Tor Chi Kung -
A Treasure for Health & Longevity
- According to our Master Dr. Luke Chu, Wah Tor Chi Kung was named after Wah Tor (Hua Tuo), the famous physician and surgeon in ancient China. Besides being respected for his expertise in surgery and anaesthesia, Hua Tuo was famous for his abilities in acupuncture, moxibustion, herbal medicine and medical Daoyin exercises including the famous "Exercise of the Five Animals" as a result from studying the movement of animals.
- Dr. Luke Chu, born in China, was a medical doctor with the Chinese Armed Forces. He helped many patients rehabilitate by teaching them Chi Kung.
- After immigrating to Canada when he was in his senior years, he passed down Wah Tor Chi Kung, which is a series of well-being exercises, which many of us practice today. Dr. Chu learned it from the 18th generation master where one generation considered to be 100 years.
- Our master, Dr. Chu passed away at the age of 106 in 2012 still having impressive internal power as well as sharp mental capacity. Even at the
age of over 100, his teeth were intact and he was full of strength and energy.
- Dr. Chu has written two books and the one we used as our textbook is called "Wah Tor Chi Kung Treasure Collection" [華佗氣功寶典].
