About the Artists:

Master Sen Gao

Master Sen Gao started his training in Wushu (Chinese martial arts) at the age of six in his native province of Shandong, China.

As a young boy, he was selected to perform all over Western Europe with the Shaolin Monks due to his talent and skill. To further develop his Wushu career, he later joined the Liaoning professional Wushu team where he received national recognition and won countless medals.

Master Sen Gao specializes in Wushu and taiji. He is a seventh degree black belt in wushu and a nine-time world champion in weapons and forms. Learn more about Master Gao’s performances.
