Eight centuries of internal martial arts —
translated, not diluted.
We teach Taiji, Bagua, and Xingyi the way they were taught on Mount Wudang: slowly, precisely, and as one continuous inquiry into how the body moves when it stops fighting itself. No mysticism. No shortcuts. Just a lineage still breathing.
太 極 拳
The supreme ultimate. Slow, circular movement that teaches the body to yield and redirect. Attributed to the Daoist sage Zhang Sanfeng.
八 卦 掌
The eight-trigram palm. Practitioners walk continuous circles, generating power through spiral momentum. Body like a dragon, step like the wind.
形 意 拳
Form-intention boxing. Straight lines, explosive power, five elemental fists. Simple on the surface, profound underneath. The art of decisive action.
武 當 劍
The straight sword — extension of the body, made of breath. The 54-form Taiji sword sequence is the pinnacle of internal weapon practice.
氣 功 養 生
Breath cultivation and internal alchemy. From standing meditation to moving forms, Qigong is the foundation beneath every internal art.
推 手 對 練
Push hands — partner training that translates form into function. You learn to listen to another body's intention before it becomes movement.

For those beginning the mountain path.
Taiji, Bagua, Xingyi — taught as one continuous art.
A week of practice in the place it began.
Every lesson we film, at your own pace.
The softest things in the world overcome
the hardest. That which is without form enters
the smallest space. This is how I know the value of wu wei.
