In 2008, Su first encountered the Wudang style while representing Australia at the 3rd World Traditional Wushu Championships. The Wudang style was showcased at this event, held in Shiyan in October of that year. For Su, there was an instant recognition. The flowing movements, the direct martial applications, the clear connection of internal, external and spirit all had an immediate and strong impact on her. She decided then that this was the style she had to pursue.

On her return home, Su searched Australia-wide for a teacher to help her learn the style, the movements and to feel the energy that, up to this point, she had only had glimpses of in her own practice. Of the many styles of Tai Chi that Su had learnt and practiced since the 80’s, none had demonstrated, let alone infused, the internal aspect that Tai Chi is known for. The Wudang style embodies Daoist philosophy. It is a physical representation and has a deep connection to the heart of humanity and the soul of all living things in the cosmos.

It wasn’t until 2009 that Su found the only avenue open to her to begin learning the Wudang style - the videos produced by Master Zhong Xue Chao.
