Since I was a little girl I have been very interested in martial arts, but when I
arrive here everything changed. Even though I studied here only for a
month, started to see the kung fu in total different aspect, which opened my
eyes at some point. Really thank you all for the amazing experience of
living and studying here and looking forward to come here again.

I arrived at Mount Wudang mid-September and straight away was made to
feel comfortable by master Yuan as I was asked what I was interested in
learning over a cup of green tea. That afternoon I walked up to the temple
to watch the students train and to get a feel for the place and after
speaking to a few foreign students and seeing the temple for the first time
(which is impressive) I was even happier with my choice of school here in
China.
Over the next 6 weeks I studied Xing Yi and as a complete beginner, was
glad that I had a good master to guide me as it wasn't as simple as I first
thought it would be& the way that sifu teaches is very good as he takes
into account your personal abilities, Click to browse...

I came to the school by chance as I travelled to Wudangshan. Here I
learned the 5 Animals Qi-Gong in just five days. It proves me health and
gives my Chen-Style Tai Chi more quality. As an Artist I appreciate the
Taoist knowledge behind the movements.

I started studying Kungfu after I saw a Kungfu movie - ' The
Undaunted Wudang ' , 23 years ago. Since then I was dreaming to get on
Wudang mountain someday. The time spent in Wudang was the most
profound experience I felt in my 23 years of Kungfu practice. I came here
in 2006 and I studied for 2 months-september and october. I was deeply

On November 1st I arrived in Wudangshan, from the start Master Yuan
tries to pinpoint what each student wants to learn, but he will also guide
you to make a good choose (depended on current ability and the reason
you chosen to come to wudang such as increase health, etc...)

In 1997 it was the first time that I heard of Taijiquan. At that time I trained
the origins of Silat (a Crane Style for Grace and Purity). The system is
called  Bangau Putih (White Crane) . Mainly I learned also Qigong, the
basic of beginning Taijiquan. Together in 1999 I learn the 24-Step
Taijiquan (movements selected from Yang Style Taijiquan) and the
48-Step Taijiquan (Yang-,Chen-,Wu-and Sun-Style plus elements of Push
Hands) and do them before I start to train new Forms. I came in China,

I really enjoyed training in the temple, the atmosphere; the energy of the
place is unique. It is the best place in Wudang. The teaching of Sifu has
been very helpful to understand the internal way, and gave me all the
knowledge I needed to progress in Kung Fu. It has been a wonderful
experience and definitely changed my perception and broadens my scope
not only for martial arts, but also for life.

When I first arrived at Yuan Shifu's school I had no idea what to expect. I
soon learned to enjoy the regular training and found myself loosening up in
a painful way. All of my injuries started to come up and healed themselves
through the practice. It has been a seemingly short 11 months here and I
will miss it. I've learned a great deal about my body and mind simply by
following Shifu's teachings.

First of all I would like to thank master Yuan for a great training opportunity.
During my stay I improved my Sanda techniques by practicing with the
training assistants, and I also improved my Tuishou skills by practicing with
Master Yuan himself. I also got to practice 3 forms XuanWuQuan-
TaiHeQuan-and 5 animal Qigong, I really have to say it was a good
opportunity for me to improve my Kungfu skills and I wish to come back
later one day.

and I can see that your teachings improved both my Qi Gong and also my

energy and the atmosphere of Wudang. I can say without any doubt that I
spent in Wudang one of the most important period of my life. Thank you

I came to Master Yuan in search of traditional taoist training, to better my
understanding of the Wudang style and to broaden my knowledge in the
arts that I was currently studying . During a two month stay Master Yuan
not only exceeded all of my expectations, but fulfilled all of my martial arts
needs for a complete training. I left the school stronger, more focused and
with the knowledge and experience you will not find anywhere else. I look
forward to my return. Thank you Shifu

was much to short.
Many thanks, that i could spend wonderful days in your academy. When i
was a young boy and watched Kung Fu movies, it was my dream to
learn original at a chinese master. Many thanks to you, that you made
possible that this dream of a young boy got fullfilled now at the
age of almost 53 years. But better late, than never. I am sure, i will repeat
this.
best regards and many good luck for you, your family and your academy.
