Learn Authentic Wudang Kung Fu & Tai Chi in China
At the Wudang Daoist Traditional Kungfu Academy (WDTKA), we preserve and teach the ancient martial arts traditions of Wudang Mountain — the birthplace of Tai Chi and the spiritual heart of Daoist internal cultivation. Founded by Master Yuan Xiu Gang, a 15th generation disciple of the Wudang San Feng Sect and an ordained Daoist priest, our academy has welcomed students from over 50 countries since 2004. Whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced martial artist, Wudang Mountain offers a training experience unlike anywhere else in the world.
Tai Chi / TaiJi
Wudang Taiji is the original source of all Tai Chi practice. Learn the authentic internal forms passed down from Zhang San Feng, the legendary Daoist immortal who created Taiji on Wudang Mountain. Our curriculum includes Taiji 13, Taiji 28, and the complete Taiji 108 form, along with Wuji meditation and Liangyi practice.
Wushu / Kung Fu
Wudang internal martial arts are defined by their emphasis on softness overcoming hardness, circular movement, and the integration of Daoist philosophy into every technique. Practice Taiyi Wuxing Quan, Bagua Zhang, Xuanwu Quan, and traditional weapon forms including the iconic Wudang Sword.
Follow the Daoist path of Neidan — internal alchemy — through seated and standing meditation. Learn to cultivate Jing (Essence), Qi (Energy), and Shen (Spirit) under the guidance of an ordained Daoist priest. From basic meditation to the advanced stages of the Small and Large Heavenly Cycles.
Meditation & Internal Alchemy
Authentic Lineage — Learn from the 15th/16th generation disciple of the Wudang San Feng Sect. Master Yuan Xiu Gang received his training from Master Zhong Yun Long, one of the most revered Wudang masters of the modern era. This is not a commercial school — this is living tradition.
Sacred Mountain Location — Wudang Mountain is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the legendary home of Zhang San Feng. Training here, surrounded by ancient Daoist temples and pristine mountain scenery, creates a transformative experience that cannot be replicated in a city gym.
All Levels Welcome — Whether you have never practiced martial arts or you hold black belts in other styles, our training is adapted to your level. Beginners build strong foundations while advanced students deepen their internal understanding.
International Community — Since 2004, we have welcomed students from over 50 countries. Our community is diverse, supportive, and united by a shared commitment to authentic practice. Lifelong friendships are forged on Wudang Mountain.
Personalized Instruction — Unlike large commercial schools, WDTKA maintains a student-centered approach. Master Yuan and his instructors observe each student individually and adjust training according to your body condition, goals, and progress.
"I came to Wudang with zero martial arts experience and stayed for six months. Master Yuan's patience and the depth of the training changed my life. I arrived stiff and stressed; I left centered, flexible, and truly calm for the first time."
— Harald, Germany
"Training Tai Chi on Wudang Mountain is something you can't understand until you experience it. The morning mist, the soft Taoist chants, and Master Yuan's teaching — it's not just a class, it's a transformation."
— Sarah, USA
"I've trained martial arts in many countries, but nothing compares to the internal depth of Wudang. The qigong practice alone was worth the journey. I'm already planning my return."
— Jon, Australia
