Brenton Welford.
I’m Brenton Welford, a student of Kalis Ilustrisimo under Tony Diego, and a student of Chen Man Ching Tai Chi Chuan with Bai Shi to John Chow, through Lau Kim Hong, Lu Tong Bau, and Yap Siew Ting. I have been learning and teaching martial arts for 20 years.
I’m happy to recommend Master Weixiu Huang as an instructor. He teaches Northern Praying Mantis Kung Fu and Chen Tai Chi, and I’ve benefitted greatly from training and discussions with him He is highly skilled in both form and application, whether it’s solo practice, partner work, or push hands.
What stands out the most about Weixiu is his teaching style. He’s approachable, warm, and a great communicator, making difficult concepts easier to grasp. He’s also flexible in his approach, adapting his methods to help each student understand the material in their own way.
Weixiu is also open-minded when it comes to working with students from other martial arts backgrounds, and he’s confident enough in his own art to have respectful, challenging exchanges with senior practitioners from other styles. All in all, he’s a fantastic teacher who’s genuinely passionate about martial arts and about helping his students grow.
