SIFU VINCENT MEI 梅耀中
Sifu Vincent Mei 梅耀中
Li Shu-Wen, Liu Yun-Qiao Wu Tan Lineage Bajiquan
Sifu Vincent Mei began his martial arts journey in high school studying Muay Thai. His path into Traditional Chinese Martial Arts (TCMA) started during college, introduced by his classmate, Paul Yang. This eventually led him to Wu Tan New Jersey, where he met Master Chen Chang-Lin and became his third indoor disciple, training in the powerful lineage of Li Shu-Wen → Liu Yun-Qiao → Chen Chang-Lin.
After Master Chen’s untimely passing in 2005, Shifu Vincent took on the responsibility of preserving his teacher’s legacy. He continued teaching Bajiquan, Pigua Zhang, and Baguazhang under the Wu Tan New Jersey banner in Lower Manhattan, staying true to the integrity of the system.
During the 2020 pandemic lockdown, Shifu Vincent founded BajiShu, a remote training platform that allowed global students to study Bajiquan online through a structured and effective system. In just two years, BajiShu expanded to 14 cohorts with over 200 dedicated students worldwide, all learning through a modern yet faithful approach to traditional training.
Seeing the potential of technology to preserve entire systems of knowledge, Shifu Vincent founded Tsáng Wǔ Gé, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting and safeguarding Chinese Martial Culture. Under Tsáng Wǔ Gé, the “Shús” represent martial arts academies, while the “Tángs” offer non-combative traditional studies such as Chinese medicine, philosophies, strategies, culinary arts, and internal cultivation methods.
In 2025, Tsáng Wǔ Gé launched Vault25 New York, a landmark martial arts summit that brought together six masters across five styles in a single, immersive seminar — a true celebration of TCMA excellence.
Sifu Vincent now leads a brilliant team of students and professionals, united by a mission to share these ancient knowledge with the modern world — offering meaningful paths to growth, health, and personal transformation.
