This class is being held in an outdoor (covered) pavilion.

Wudangshan is taught one posture at a time, at the student's pace, with an intensive focus on fundamentals of movement.  Wudangshan is a starting point for anyone interested in the art of taijiquan. Beginning students will start learning principles and fundamentals essential for taiji, starting with lower body control.  They will continue through the form, posture by posture at their own pace.

This is a traditional long empty hand form which the same posture list as the commonly taught Yang style; however each posture generally contains a few more movement or applications.  The form has 108 postures and, when performed in its entirety, takes 45 minutes to complete.  Students usually learn the form in roughly 2 years but are able to start benefiting from the practice of the form after a month or so, as principles of movement are ingrained.

More advanced students who have a small foundation in the Wudangshan 108 empty hand form will take on a few postures each week and focus on corrections personalized for the students. Class will also build taiji principles details within the postures; details include matching, stance work, alignment and applications of postures.

One time visitors (perhaps you're visiting the area?) are welcome to join any class or seminar. They will be able to experience a small bit of our form and explore our focus on fundamentals, stance work and applications.  The single class rate of $20 would apply.
