A Lifetime of Practice

Master Wang Guolong is a registered therapist in Hawaiʻi with more than 30 years of clinical experience in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), therapeutic bodywork, and traditional Chinese martial arts.

Born in Harbin, China, he began training in traditional martial arts at the age of nine and later studied Chinese medicine under his grandfather. Over decades of dedicated practice, he has seamlessly integrated the principles of Tai Chi, martial arts, and Chinese medicine into a therapeutic philosophy that emphasizes natural movement, internal energy (Qi), and holistic recovery.

Today, he continues his clinical work in Hawaiʻi, helping students and clients improve mobility, reduce pain, relieve stress, and restore overall well-being.
