Master Gao passed away January 17, 2005 in Beijing.  Though hospitalized for a respiratory problem she died due to heart failure in her sleep.  Like many great masters, her teaching and influence has had a deep effect on her students and those she came in contact with. Her legacy, spirit and qi will always be present and direct our practice for generations to come.  She is greatly missed.

Master Gao Fu was accomplished in both Yang and Chen methods of Taiji Quan in addition to studying Wu Taiji. She studied Yang Taiji Quan with Master Jiang Yu-k'un, an advanced student of Grandmaster Yang Cheng-fu, learning the complete Yang method of Taiji Quan (form, sword, saber, staff, spear, sanshou). She studied intensively Chen style Taiji under Masters: Tien Xiouchen and Feng Zhiqiang, both disciples of the great Chen Fake.

Upon Master Tien's death she was appointed to teach his classes by Master Feng. Master Gao has been sent to Sweden and Japan as a representative of the Beijing Chen Tai Chi Research Society. She established a club in Seattle, Washington and traveled throughout the U.S. and Canada on invitation to teach many seminars.  Her Chen form work was instilled by Tien Xiouchen.  After Grandmaster Chen Fake's death, his top students would gather, visit, and demonstrate for each other.  Tien was voted the one who's form was closest to Chen Fake.  Master Feng specialized in push hands and applications.  Madame Gao had the benefit of studying with these two men and was able to combine their teaching, and with her own generosity and dedication, share her knowledge with anyone interested in learning.
