Grandmaster Bow Sim Mark Grandmaster Mark is one of the foremost exponents of internal Chinese martial arts (neigong) in the world.

Her areas of expertise include tai chi (taijiquan), pakua (bagua), hsing yi (xing yi), and wudang sword. After extensive training in both traditional kung fu and competition wushu in China, Grandmaster Mark emigrated to the United States and settled with her family in Boston MA.

Many of her students are teachers and champions in their own right (see Instructor Directory).

She has also published numerous articles on effective tai chi practice and correct technique in publications such as Inside Kung Fu.

Her performance team, comprised of her students, has participated in events such as Boston’s Dragonboat Festival and First Night celebration.
