WU YI HUI (Ng Yik Fai) 1887 - 1958 Wu Yi Hui was the first individual to open the door and teach Liuhebafa to the public. Renowned for his skill and expertise in the internal arts Wu attracted many skilled fighters and masters. He influenced some of the greatest internal martial artists of the era and his prestige led him to a teaching position at the historical "Nanjing Central Martial Arts Academy". Though having taught many students who were skilled fighters and went on to becoming teachers, it was only Chen Yi Ren who Wu is known to have imparted the entire Hua Yue Xi Yi Men (Liuhebafa) system to.

CHEN YI REN (Chan Yik Yan) 1909 - 1982 Chen Yi Ren was privileged to have trained in various styles with many of the best internal masters of his era. His background in the internal arts included Taiji, Bagua, Xingyi and Yichuan. Recognized by Wu of being capable, he alone received complete training and transmittion of the Hua Yue Xi Yi Men (Liuhebafa) system. Though never having taught in China, Chen did open up schools in Hong Kong and Singapore and is greatly responsible for the dissemination of Liuhebafa as it exists today. Though having taught many students himself Chen only formally accepted 6 disciples to be initiated into the Hua Yue Xi Yi Men lineage to receive deep training in the art, among which only 3 became teachers.

MO CHI HUI (Mok Kei Fai) Although Chen Yi Ren taught many students, Mo Chi Hui was one of only 6 disciples who were formally initiated into the Hua Yue Xi Yi Men (Liuhebafa) family under Chen. Having apprenticed under Chen for 12 consecutive years, Grandmaster Mo had the longest contact time of all of Chen's disciples, and not only received complete transmittion of the Liuhebafa style he was further privileged to receive the extent of Chen's Bagua and Xingyi systems. He is known for his technical expertise in the internal arts and strict attention to detail. Being very close to his teacher throughout his lifetime, Mo Chi Hui was chosen by Chen Yi Ren to become his godson, an act that holds significant meaning to traditional martial artists.

Through hard work and rapid progression he began to assist Grandmaster Mo in instruction of classes in Hong Kong, and has become one of Grandmaster Mo's most highly skilled and trusted followers. Due to his knowledge and ability he earned the full extent of Mo’s teachings and is the only disciple to complete Mo Chi Hui's full instruction in the Liuhebafa system as taught by Chen Yi Ren. Nelson Ma's humble focus and intense dedication to his training has led him to develop a deep insight into the depths of Liuhebafa that one may attain. His ability in the internal arts along with his selfless manner has not only made him a great master, but a great teacher as well.
