He is the eldest son of the late Wu Ta-k'uei and senior instructor of the Wu family and "Gatekeeper" of the Wu-style as taught in the Wu's tai chi Academies internationally since the death of his uncle, the late Wu Daxin, in January 2005.

Biography Eddie Wu is the great-grandson of the late Wu Jianquan, and grandson of the late Wu Gongyi. His two sons, Austin Wu Chung Him (吳仲謙, born 1972) and Edward Wu Chung Wai (吳仲偉, born 1974) are also instructors in their family's school.

Eddie Wu started learning tai chi at the age of 6 from his grandfather Wu Gongyi, with whom he lived till age 12. Thereafter, Eddie Wu moved back to live with his father Wu Ta-k'uei and continued learning until he left for university. He later graduated and worked as an engineer for several years.

In 1975, Wu Daqi started the first Western Hemisphere Wu family school in Toronto, Canada. Shortly afterwards, he invited his thirty-year-old nephew Eddie Wu to take over the Toronto school's instruction.

Eddie Wu has promoted Wu-style tai chi in Asia, North America and Europe, with schools that recognise his supervision in Toronto, Fredericton, Ann Arbor, Metropolitan Detroit, New Jersey, Hawaii, London (England), Hong Kong, Singapore, Greece and Malaysia. He is assisted by his sister Cynthia Wu Hsiao Fung (born 1949).
