Head Coach - Master Wang Xiaoli

Master Wang is a 6th Duan holder in Chinese Martial Arts, a China National First-Class Martial Arts Referee, an inheritor of Wudang martial arts intangible cultural heritage, and a 15th-generation disciple of the Wudang Sanfeng lineage.

Born in Jianchang County, Liaoning Province, China, he began practising martial arts in 1996 and pursued advanced training in Wudang internal martial arts at Wudang Mountain in 2000. In 2003, he was selected to join the Wudang Mountain Taoist Association Kung Fu Troupe, participating in international martial arts and cultural exchange performances across multiple countries and regions.

In 2008, he won championships in the Men's Wudang Traditional Fist and Nine-Section Whip categories at the 3rd World Traditional Wushu Festival.

He was appointed to Singapore in 2009 as a Taiji and martial arts instructor at the Wudang Shenghong Health Preservation Centre, where he has since trained over 5,000 students in Wudang Sanfeng Tai Chi and Wudang martial arts programmes.

Over the years, he has remained committed to promoting traditional Chinese wellness culture and the spirit of Wudang martial arts through teaching, community outreach, and cultural exchange activities.

 
People always contend for the first, not being aware of how much they lose in the process, and became disillusioned. In the end, all hopes and efforts come to nothing. Master Wang Xiaoli understands that the best virtue is like that of water, as water benefits everything in the world but never contends its own contribution. Wang likes Chinese calligraphy and roaming. In his practice of Chinese calligraphy, he came to understand the idea of knowing how the white attracts, yet keeping himself within the black's shade; in swordsmanship; in his roaming, he lived with the nature to find out the way of life.

Bringing Wudang to the World

▪ Selected as a member of the Wudang Mountain Taoist Kung Fu Troupe in 2003, participating in martial arts cultural exchange performances across China and overseas

▪ Performed at major events including the opening ceremony of the 2nd World Cup Sanda Competition, the 900th Anniversary Celebration of the Tianshi Mansion at Longhu Mountain, the Lianzhou International Photography Festival, the 9th China International Friendship Culture Spring Gala, and the 6th Taoist Music Festival

▪ Invited by the Taoist Federation Singapore in 2006 to perform at the celebration of Taoist founder Taishang Laojun's birthday, attended by then-President S. R. Nathan and Mrs Nathan

▪ Participated in overseas cultural exchange performances in Austin, United States, and other locations

▪ Returned to Singapore in 2007 with the Wudang Taoist Kung Fu Academy Troupe to perform at the 90th anniversary celebration of Lorong Koo Chye Sheng Hong Temple, where the Guest of Honour was Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong

Champion of the World Traditional Wushu Festival

▪ At the 3rd World Traditional Wushu Festival in 2008, he was awarded First Prize in the Men's Wudang Fist, Wudang Xuanwu Fist, Other Flexible Weapons, and Nine-Section Whip categories

▪ In recognition of his outstanding performance and achievements, he was subsequently selected as a coach of the Wudang Mountain Taoist Kung Fu Troupe

Setting a Singapore Record

▪ On 23 May 2009, he led 350 students from the Wudang Shenghong Health Preservation Centre in the "Community Engagement Games Day 2009", jointly organised by Taoist Federation Singapore and ITE College East. Their mass Taiji performance set the Singapore record for the largest simultaneous Taiji demonstration and was officially recognised in the Singapore Book of Records. The event was attended by then-Minister for Community Development, Youth and Sports Dr Vivian Balakrishnan, together with various religious leaders.

From the Istana to the National Stage

▪ In 2009, he represented the Wudang Shenghong Health Preservation Centre at the 8th National Wushu Appreciation Meet, performing alongside the Wudang Mountain Taoist Kung Fu Troupe before Guest of Honour Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong. He was subsequently invited by then-President S. R. Nathan to perform at the Istana.

▪ In 2010, he led 150 Taiji students in the Eunos Citizens' Consultative Committee National Day celebrations and participated in the welcoming ceremony for the Youth Olympic Games torch relay.

Community & Charity Outreach

▪ Between 2011 and 2024, he was regularly invited to participate in major cultural, charity, and community events across Singapore, including the Chingay Parade, World Water Day celebrations, National Wushu Appreciation Meets, NKF charity fundraising events, Racial Harmony cultural programmes, and the Esplanade's "Moonfest" celebrations. During this period, he led over 700 students at the Marina Barrage World Water Day celebrations, as well as nearly 500 students in a mass performance of the Wudang Taiji 18 Forms. Distinguished guests included Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong and President Tony Tan.

▪ He also led students in collective Taiji performances at the Asian Civilisations Museum, participated in the "Wudang Taiji Night" performance during the 100th anniversary celebrations of Lorong Koo Chye Sheng Hong Temple, and was invited to the National University of Singapore to share wellness knowledge and demonstrate the Wudang 12 Duan Jin. Through these efforts, he continues to actively promote Wudang Taiji and traditional Chinese wellness culture in Singapore.

Taiji & Racial and Religious Harmony

▪ He has long been actively involved in racial and religious harmony initiatives, as well as cross-cultural exchange activities. Collaborating with Malay martial arts (Silat) groups, the Singapore Buddhist Federation, and various religious organisations, he has presented performances that blend Wudang Taiji with Malay martial arts (Silat), promoting unity, friendship, and mutual cultural understanding.

▪ These engagements include the "Interracial Interreligious Harmony Nite 2015" jointly organised by the Taoist Federation Singpaore, the Chingay Parade performance "We Are One", the "Kampung Eunos Health "Wellness Carnival", "Harmony Sports Fiesta 2023", and the Taoist Federation Singapor's 33rd Anniversary Celebration, attended by Guest of Honour Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
