Grandmaster Anthony Wee was born in 1943 during the Japanese occupation of Singapore. He grew up in a culture rich in martial arts, myths and legends. As a youth his desire to learn the “way of the warrior” was so great that he secretly joined a kung fu club only to be reprimanded by his gentle, scholarly father who preferred the non-violent way to enlightenment.

But Anthony’s persistence finally won his father’s approval — he was introduced to “Uncle Siang”, a neighbour and Chi Yoga meditation teacher. Anthony’s grasp of Chi meditation and enthusiasm so impressed Uncle Siang that he brought Anthony to his own master, Master Woon, who had a small but dedicated ‘Chi’ group.

At his first ‘Chi’ session, Anthony was able to achieve the ‘boiling point’ of Chi breathing, or the opening of the three energy gates — lower ‘tan tien’, ‘ming men’ and ‘pai hui’. The clearence and surge of Chi flow was so powerful along all the major channels e.g. “ Dai “ belt channel ,” Chong” rush –central channel,and all the 14 meridians . Anthony felt his whole body vibrate and tremble as his autonomous nervous “Chi” system took over his deep breathing. At the age of 16, his experience of the ‘power of Chi’ inspired and awed him. This passion never left him till today.

Shortly after, he was introduced to Grandmaster Tan Seow Koon, a master of the Shaolin Wu Mei art. This was a secretive art form taught only to women. Wu Mei was a Buddhist nun who founded a highly scientific and effective method of fighting in close quarters using inner Chi power and viscious, short, sharp strokes aimed at vulnerable acu-pressure points of the opponents anatomy — the ‘dim mak’ or death touch. Her techniques were so effective that a desperate young man disguised himself as a woman to master her techniques to avenge the death of his parents. From this young man her techniques spread and later became incorporated into the Weng Chun movement, the style of kung fu popularised by Bruce Lee.

So from the age of 16, Anthony studied the two systems simultaneously. Like a true master, he trained “to heal as well as to hurt.” Early in his career he was tempted to learn the faster fighting arts like Tae Kwon Do, Karate and Boxing as most of his mates did. But his father reminded him of what the past masters said, “Learning kung fu without learning Chi Kung (inner power) when one becomes old will be lost (empty).” So for the first three years Anthony stuck to Chi Kung — inner power Chi meditation and ‘Sam Chang’ (iron shirt) exercises.

When his mates wore black belts, Anthony was still in a novice in the Wu Mei school. At times he found it heart breaking to see his friends fighting in tournaments when he was still a “beginner” developing his inner chi power. Sometimes he was doubtful that his way was right. But as years went by, while his friends lost interest in martial arts, Anthony developed into an all round exponent, learning both the way of the warrior as well as the healer. It took him ten years.

In 1970 Anthony won a silver medal at the International Pugilistic competition. In 1971 he was selected to become the Captain of the Singapore Pugilistic team. In 1972 Anthony had the privilege of demonstrating the ‘power of Chi’ to Muhammad Ali at the Goodwood Hotel in Singapore. Also in the same year he was asked to demonstrate the art of Chi Kung on Japan’s Channel 12 World Wide Sports.

In 1975 he founded the Shunlin Wushu Kwan Association, a non-profit organisation, training young people in the art of Shaolin Wu Mei Kung Fu. The Club produced many Kung Fu champions and was a training ground for young people. Grandmaster Wee was the chief instructor of the club and remained its chief instructor for 15 years.

A turning point in his career came when his father at the age of 65, suffered a stroke which left him paralysed on the left side of his body. He was later diagnosed with cancer of the bronchial system and given six to nine months to live. Anthony’s father turned to Chi meditation and a vegetarian and brown rice diet. Through intensive Chi meditation exercises and the vegetarian diet the cancer went into remission and his father fully recovered ten months later. Anthony’s father went on to live another fifteen robust years before dying at the age of 80.

This incident inspired Anthony to stop teaching martial arts and turn to healing. He decided to learn all he could about the effects of Chi breathing on a person’s health. With his knowledge in the breathing techniques in the art of Chi Kung, he founded the Shunlin Chi Dynamics Centre in Singapore in 1980.

In 1986 he moved to Perth, Western Australia and later founded the Shunlin Chi Dynamics Centre in 1988. The Perth chapter currently has six branches.

At the age of 45 when most martial arts exponents retired, Anthony reached the peak of his career. In an awesome display of mind power over matter, Anthony achieved the ‘world record’ for ‘inner Chi power’ when he successfully neutralised the weight of a 9.3 ton double-decker bus driven over his body. The demonstrated was captured by three Perth television stations (Channel 7, 9 and 10) at the Esplanade in South Perth and reported in several local newspapers in 1988.

In 1996 he founded the Water Crane Society in Perth, Western Australia, a self defence school for women based on the art of Wu Mei kung fu.

Anthony currently relocated from Perth, Western Australia. He resides in Gladesville ,NSW 2111. He conducts one-to-one healing sessions as well as group workshops. His work has been featured in numerous newspapers and magazines in these countries. His long life passion is to teach and spread the art of Chi Kung and Chi meditation techniques. Over the years he and his Instructors have helped many people improve their health by using these techniques to enable a more efficient use of their own body’s natural ability to heal itself.
