About Wu Xing Dao

Wu Xing Dao is a traditional Chinese internal martial arts school based in Wyoming on the Central Coast of NSW. We teach the authentic methods of Baguazhang, Xing Yi Quan, Taijiquan, Meihuaquan, and Mian Quan, alongside a full curriculum of Qigong for health, mobility, and internal power development.

We’re not a franchise, and we’re not one of dozens of branches. Wu Xing Dao Wyoming is a single, independent school, built on a direct, living connection to the system’s source.

The System

Wu Xing Dao was founded by Master Marko Vesse, who has trained in internal martial arts for more than 35 years. At the heart of what we teach is Mian Quan, also known as “Continuous Fist”: the primary internal style our curriculum is built around, and the foundation for how we teach body structure, coordination, and internal power.

Marko’s training also took him deep into China, where he sought out master practitioners of internal martial arts. For more than a decade, he has trained directly under Master Wang, the current Grand Master of Meihuaquan in Shanghai, one of the foremost living authorities on the art.

Marko combined this training with Tai Chi, Baguazhang, Meihuaquan, and Xing Yi, built on the Mian Quan foundation, to create the curriculum Wu Xing Dao teaches today.

Master Vesse is currently several years into a personal training pilgrimage, travelling between Australia and China, returning regularly to train in the mountains of China with Master Wang. During this period, he shares his knowledge directly with a small number of private students, Grant Mundy amongst them.

Your Head Instructor

Grant Mundy is the owner and Head Instructor of Wu Xing Dao in Wyoming, Central Coast NSW. He has trained in internal martial arts for over 25 years, and has trained directly under Master Marko Vesse since 2008.

Grant teaches with Marko’s explicit endorsement: both to teach the methods of Wu Xing Dao and to run this school under the Wu Xing Dao name. That relationship isn’t just history. Grant continues to train directly under Marko in private sessions, every week. He isn’t teaching from memory of what he learned years ago. He’s still being taught, by the source, right now.

That makes Grant a genuine, direct line back to a living master, not a certificate on a wall.

What We Teach

Our curriculum is built around Mian Quan as its primary internal style, alongside Baguazhang, Xing Yi Quan, Taijiquan, and Meihuaquan: five internal martial arts styles in total, supported by eight Qigong systems including Ba Duan Jin (Eight Pieces of Brocade), Eight Extraordinary Vessels, Heaven and Earth Qigong, Cosmic Orbit Qigong, Falun Gong, Tai Chi Ball Qigong, Iron Shirt Neigong, and Pentagenics. We teach students from age four through adulthood, currently ranging from 4 to 52, with past students training well into their eighties. Students progress from foundational movement and body awareness through to advanced, gated programs like Steel Hand, Steel Body, and Iron Shirt conditioning.

Beyond what’s taught day-to-day, Wu Xing Dao sits within a lineage that goes deeper still: practices reserved for senior students training directly under Master Wang and Master Vesse. What’s taught at Wyoming is real, complete, and rigorously trained. It’s simply not the whole of what the lineage holds.

What is Qi?

At Wu Xing Dao, we talk about Qi in plain terms: body awareness, nervous system sensitivity, fascia and tissue conditioning, and the ability to generate and direct whole-body force in a coordinated way.

None of this is mystical. It’s trainable. Internal power, the kind Baguazhang, Xing Yi, and Tai Chi are built around, isn’t something you take on faith. It’s something you can see in how a strike lands, hear in the impact, and feel the moment someone puts a hand on you and moves you without obvious effort.

Every style we teach develops this the same way: through structure, repetition, and body conditioning, not belief. If a claim about internal power can’t be demonstrated, we don’t teach it. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to, and it’s the same standard we’d encourage you to hold any school to.
