The History of International Shaolin Wu Chu Chuan Australia

Towards the end of 1991, Master James invested in a small business. Due to his involvement in the daily operation of the business, Master James was forced to stop teaching, and this resulted in a serious decline in student numbers. The business was eventually sold off after the birth of Master James' second son in early 1994, and Master James returned to resume teaching. At the time of his return, there were only three students left at the Thompson's Corner branch. The option was either to close down the kung fu class or to increase the class fees to cover the cost of hiring the hall. After discussing with the last three students, it was decided to continue the class. Within weeks of Master James' return, class numbers started to climb.

To this day more than 400 students have been taught the traditional art of Wu Chu Chuan. From training in the backyard/garage, Wu Chu Chuan has now expanded to four training centers, and seminars have been held by Master James in three different countries.
