Shifu (Master) Lucas Geller
Lucas Geller began training in Martial Arts at age 5. 20 years later Shifu Lucas had spent almost 4 years in China training at such institutions and professional wushu teams as the Beijing Sports University, Beijing Wushu Team, Shandong Wushu Team, Sichuan Wushu Team and Nanjing Wushu Team. During this time he competed and earned medals at numerous national and international martial arts tournaments including Nationals, Worldgate, Collegiates (UC Davis) and Berkeley. Lucas Geller became a member of the USA Wushu team in 2007. In 2008 he won a silver medal at the Pan-American Wushu Games in Brazil.
Continuing to explore and grow outside of Chinese martial arts, in July 2025 Lucas earned his 1st Degree Black Belt in Kyokushin Karate from the International Federation of Kyokushin (IFK). He currently leads FSK-N under Shihan Sean Schenker of Fighting Spirit Karate. Additionally, Lucas was promoted to 1st Degree Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in 2025 under the Renzo Gracie lineage, allowing him to bring a wealth of knowledge and experience from multiple martial arts disciplines to his students.
Lucas also earned his Master’s degree in Advanced Chinese Language and Culture from The Ohio State University. He is fluent in Mandarin.
Intense passion, a rigorous training regimen and a unique understanding of language and culture has allowed Lucas to become a true expert of martial arts. Lucas is a martial artist in the most pure sense - dedicated to the practice and promotion of Wushu Kungfu and Kyokushin Karate.
“Not only did I find Lucas’ passion for Wushu to be inspiring, but also the kindness and respect he showed toward everyone were particularly admirable. He has a delicate patience with kids that fosters both fun and effective learning, and he is one of the most likable people I know.”
