Contemporary Teachers :
    
     The spread of recent to current 'contemporary' teachers can be classified and presented either as
.....schema originating from LHBF founder Wu YiHui
.....schema originating from long time proteges: Lu Gui-yao, etc.
.....schema originating from protege Chen Yik-yan in Hongkong, or
.....schema attached to various cities where either of the above taught.
 
   Each tree lineage schema is unsatisfying and not easily untangled; each schema tends to cycle, to terminate, or become doubtful as to source or doubtful as to claims of lineage. Bonefide history is somewhat corrupted and there exists a group activilly corrupting the lineage by restricting and protecting its distribution.
   That said, a known distribution would be as follows:
 
The known geographical distribution leading to contemporary and/ or current teachers would be as follows:
...Shanghai : [this is Wu Yi-hui's first 'public' teachings, elder students exist]
...Nanjing : [this is Wu Yi-hui's academic teachings]
...Hongkong : [this is Chen YY protected teachings and limited proteges]
...PRC : [this is usually from Wu Yi-hui's early students with some mixing later]
...USA, ['refugee' teachers of Hongkong or PRC in search of creative freedom]
...Canada : ['refugee' teachers of Hongkong or PRC]
...Europe : [first teachers from USA, later as PRC seminar teachers]
...Asean : [Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, ...Philippines, Australia]
 
In addition to geographical distribution, their exists practice variants caused by :
...Wu teaching selection and evolution: large/ small-'frame', fixed-position, stepping-series
...Student comprehension and favoritism: standardization to IMA-3, bakua- and xingyi- favortism; some students only learned or favored the LuHong 8-Links boxing.
...Student cross-teachings and evolution: alignment / absorption of yiquan and/ or hunyuan principles. This was opposed by Chen YY.  This only resulted in teachers creating another name [HuaYo-, HwaYue-, Taoist- Tai-chi-] to their creation anyway.

In addition to the above, there exists 'political' variants, students or teachers who attempt to counter factual history/ lineages claiming that they are 'true insiders', 'fully trained', or 'chosen ones'. This misguiding only results in corruption of principles.

Encylopedia Reference :  
   As notable as Wikipedia is, its' continual changes at the hands of the helpful public is slowly biasing the data.  These wiki's are also incomplete as they omit data and focus only on the Nanjing and Hong Kong schemes. Thus, I have a listing of what I consider to be a brief and useful.

Note: The lineage, from teacher-founder Wu Yi-hui is much in dispute:

1. it should fall to his son Wu, Ying-hua  吴英華
2. it should fall to his longest student Lu Gui Yao 盧桂耀 [died 2012]
3. it should fall to a student outside 'Communist' China, Chan Yik Yan 陳亦人 
4. it should fall to the most capable student Zhang Chang-xin 張長信
5. it should fall to most influential 'preserver' spreader of the exercise.]
6. it should fall to one with the most videos and promotions.

[ One may be tempted to chose either Li Dao-li or Liang Zhi-peng, but both
teachers are now deceased; other qualified teachers are now retired or will no longer teach publically. There also exists the self promoting of teachers proteges, each insisting that their 'teacher' was the best..and therefore they are 'teachers' teaching the best to their 'closed door' paying students.]

LHBF-Nanking :
Wu, Yi Hui, 吴翼翚, [ 1887 Nov 30 - 1958 Mar 29; age 71 ]
aka. Founder of Nanking LHBF, certified 25 teachers :
 
Bo1 Song1-lu4  祿, Gao1 Cheng1 -shan2 ,
Ju2 Po2 -fang2 菊潑肪 
Li3 Dao4 -li4, Li Dao Lap, 李道立 ,   Li1 -yu4 李 煜,  Li Jian -Yu 李見宇,
Li1 He4 -hai3 李鶴海 , Li1 Kong3 -zhui2, 李孔隹,
Liang1 Qi3 -zhong2 梁啓忠 , Liang1 Yin2 -pei2, 梁陰 培,
Liang2 Zi3 -peng2, 梁子鵬 (students: Fong Pak Shing, 方伯誠)
Liu2 Cheng1-peng2, 鵬, Liu1 Hai3 -zhou4 , 劉海晝,

Ma3 Guo2 -rui4 馬國瑞, Ou2 Wo4 -can4 區沃燦,
Tan1 Zhao4-sheng2 (), 
Wan4 Chun1-lu4 祿Wei1 -bo2  維鉢.
 
   Wu's choices of a successor seemed to have been directed towards a student that would be outside the influence of Red China's suppression of traditions and martial arts; the choice, at that time led to Hong Kong. The influence and locales of all of Msr. Wu's other students remains mostly unknown, although an occasional reference does appear within the Chinese language sites.


LHBF-Anhui, Huainan :  南京 Nanjing, 安徽 Anhui, 淮南 Huainan
     The two main branches of the Wu Yi-hui, Nanjing teachings are via his son and his student Lu Gui-yao; yet, for successorship Chen Yik-yan was chosen.

Wu, Ying-hua 吴英華, son of Wu Yi-hui; lineage  inheritor, has focused on style preservation, research, and seminar organization. A 3-Disk DVD exercise series is available as is a publication.   Website: http://lhbflm.com/index.asp

Recently  Wu Yi-Hui's son is setting up an International Alliance and inviting people to joint in. http://lhbflm.com/ARTICLEhaiwaizhichuang/ShowArticle.asp?ArticleID=105

I think in the future,there will be many difference of lineage of LHBF, like Chan Yik-yan lineage, Leung Zhi-pang lineage, Li Dao-li etc. because they are so much different. I heard some senior said, in the meeting host by Wu Ying-hua, all Masters insist to play their own style and cannot unify the LHBF 66 form, so everyone just publish their own style made LHBF confusing the martial art people.”   Thomas Choi, HK.
