Baji Association was founded in 2001 after master L\u00fc visited Finland for the first time to give a lecture at Helsinki University on martial arts. L\u00fc’s martial art prowess and knowledge inspired many of the listeners present, chief among them a group of young men who would later become the founding members of our association. The same young men suggested to master L\u00fc founding an association and requested him as our teacher. The enthusiasm of these young men convinced master L\u00fc, who had also fallen in love with Finnish nature. As a result, he ended up moving permanently to Finland six months later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2026 our association turns 25 years old. This same year master L\u00fc himself turns 70 – so he has spent one third of his life living and teaching in Finland. During the last 25 years, L\u00fc’s reputation as an exceptionally talented martial arts master has spread far and wide. We’ve organised hundreds of seminars around Europe and even in China. One whole generation has been raised learning from master L\u00fc, and will continue to pass on his knowledge to the next. Master L\u00fc speaks fluent English and his mother tongue Mandarin Chinese. He teaches his lessons in English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our association’s actions and principles are strongly based on the ideas of master L\u00fc. To sum them up; everyone is welcome to learn regardless of their background or prior knowledge. If you train with us, you will be a member of our Gongfu-family and we will help each other forward on our martial paths. And all of our paths are supposed to be different – some of us want to fight. Some just want to relax. For some, it’s about learning to know your mind and body. All paths are equally valid in master L\u00fc’s eyes – and you’re more than welcome to travel on yours with us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
