Disciplines of Wudang
At Spring & Autumn Martial Arts, the goal is to share the Wudang & Daoist traditions both for health and martial skill. But everyone is looking to gain from their practice a variety of benefits that vary from student to student. With this in mind, classes are held as a group, but with the focus on individual skill training.
The disciplines are broken down into five class categories:
Wudang Taijiquan – The art of Tai Chi is considered the highest form of martial arts. This internal system of listening and sensitivity training offers the student longevity and softness. Taught with Qigong, rooting postures, and application, this unique style of Taijiquan (Yin & Yang Fist) is directly transmitted from the sacred Wudang Mountains. More Information...
Wudang Gongfu – The fluid and esoteric systems of Wu-Tang Kung Fu are a collection of skills unique from any other art, offering aggressive footwork with deep and twisting stances.
