About Master Peter Wei Sheng Zhu

Master Peter Zhu is a third-generation lineage holder of Yi Quan, in the direct line of Wang Xiangzhai → Han Xingqiao → Peter Wei Sheng Zhu. He began training under Master Han in China before bringing Yi Quan to Australia in 1983.

With over 40 years of continuous daily practice, he has refined and expanded upon this ancient art, integrating it with his expertise in Tui Na (traditional Chinese massage therapy) and Chinese medical theory. Master Zhu’s approach emphasizes natural posture, relaxation, and awareness as the true source of internal power and healing.

He now shares this lifelong training publicly for the first time — to preserve a lineage that bridges martial cultivation, health, and self-transformation.
