Anyone know who that is? Seems a little weird to me what with no other information but a phone number and no names.

The problem with this school is that they don't give accurate information about their lineage. The instructor states that he studied with "Wu Tai-chein, 1905-1985" who is supposed to be a son of Wu Jianquan and younger brother to Wu Gongyi and Wu Gongzao. I've been researching the history of the art meticulously for many years now and I have never come across this third son. I suppose he means Jianquan's grandson Wu Daxin (吳大新) who lived 1933-2005. http://www.wustyle.com/en/db/person.php?cid=9998
Maybe lineage doesn't mean anything to you, but if he invents a person who never existed or he doesn't even know that his teacher died 20 years later, there's something seriously wrong. He should clarify this, before you even consider studying there.

Oops! Spoke too soon.
Oh well, I'm sure the method of training is going to be different anyway.
Just out of curiosity what is it you'd like to learn from the Wu?
