Students of Wutan are first taught the systems which were brought into Wutan by the twelve disciples. The curriculum of Wutan International UK's Branch was divided into internal and external systems. The internal system embraces the teaching of :
Tai Chi, Pa Kua and Hsing-I, <span style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;">
whereas the external system includes both the Northern and Southern fighting styles such as:
Wing Chun, Choi Lei fut, Praying Mantis, kickboxing(competition Kung Fu)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> and 18 weapons systems. <span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black; font-family: Tahoma; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;">
Students who have a proven record of being well-disciplined and of good character will be taught the superior system that Grand Master Liu professed. These restrictions are important and necessary, as the systems passed down by Grand Master Liu are too dangerous to be in the hands of the irresponsible. The degree of their efficiency can be measured by the responsible positions that some of Great Grand Master Li's disciples held.
The closed-door disciple Grand Master Liu was appointed as a bodyguard in chief, responsible for protecting the premier of The Republic Of China, President Chiang Kai Shek, and his successors. The eldest disciple, Fou Tien Kok was appointed as a teacher of martial arts and as bodyguard to Pu Yi, the last Emperor of China.
<p style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; punctuation-wrap: simple;">Another disciple Li Chian Wu was appointed head martial arts trainer for Chairman Mao Tsi Tung, the first chairman of the People's Republic Of China.<span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black; font-family: Tahoma; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;"><p style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; punctuation-wrap: simple;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;">Out of the hundreds of competent fighters in China, these three mortal enemies chose to appoint three disciples of Great Grand Master Li Su Wen. Each considered that no other martial artists of the time had the skills necessary to protect their lives.
