Sifu Genie Parker began training Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan in Royal Oak, Michigan with Sifu Stephen Britt in August 1988. She began teaching as an assistant in the Royal Oak school and was among the first group of students from Michigan to become disciples of Eddie Wu Kwong Yu in August 1992. In 1994 and 1999 she toured Southeast Asia and China with a group of students from Michigan, visiting and training with Wu family members and students at several academies.
She ran the Detroit area school for many years until Sifu Britt took permanent residence in Michigan. Genie focuses on the proper development and training of students from the general public in all aspects of Tai Chi Chuan from the beginning forms to the level of international competition. She teaches in hospital, educational, and corporate environments and opened her own club in Ann Arbor in November 2003 (wustyle-annarbor.com) She has helped coach students for the Pan-American Wushu Tournament in Toronto, and is certified as a judge by the United Wushu Federation of Ontario.
Genie took on her own disciples during a ceremony at the Ann Arbor academy presided over by Sifu Eddie Wu Kwong Yu in March 2003. She is the first non-Chinese woman to take on disciples for the Wu family, and only the third person in North America to be so honored.
