 Georg practising Taichi
I am in Wudangshan since September 2006. I really love the senery here. You often can feel the powerful but soft energy of the mountains; just like the amazing martial arts, that have developped here. Often, when I go somewhere on th mountain I am newly charmed by that great appeareance. So I am very happy to be able to study martial arts in such an environment and with such a good master, knowing excellent martial arts and being kind in his heart.
Thanks to headmaster Gu Shiyi, for giving me the chance to learn at his school; and thanks to my parents, for helping me financially and supporting my decision. |

I found a local for training and studying in which i feel at home.
A home in which the kindness of people i have never felt in other place.
The integration of my self was easy and the exchange of knowledge was very precious.
I received all that they have to give to me and i feel that they received all that i had to give to them.
It's good to feel that i belong to a world in which doesn't exist diferences between races, cultures and ideologies
We are all in one.'

It takes time before the COSMOS understands what people want or they need.
For me it was a course of changing with some exchange also, kindness, where
we created a strong effect.
I consider the schooll have the eternal exchange to understand the students.

Feedback
We've had testimonial on the right side of this page for long and guestbook below. But for page-making technical reason,we can't put any more at that place. That's why it's quite long since you saw the last testimonial.Thanks to the advice given by one of our students,we begin to put feedback in this new space rather than still there.
It's quite a destiny that we can meet on Mt. Wudang and share the same dream. We hope you can leave some references as a feedback. Thank you!

I had the great privilege to study Wudang style Tai? Chi Chuan with Lao Gu (this is how we call Master Gu ) at his mountain retreat in July 2011. I had studied another style of Tai Chi in the UK for three years, but this was my first opportunity to learn Wudang style. Lao Gu taught me the 33 form and his excellent English language skills and clear precise demonstrations made learning from him a pleasure. Most classes were conducted on the roof terrace overlooking spectacular views of Wudangshan and when the weather was less favourable I trained in the spacious training hall, with mirrors and air conditioning.?
Highlights of my stay at Lao Gu's school are morning health preservation exercises on the roof terrace, walking with Lao Gu along? hidden mountain footpaths when my teacher would share the treasures of Tai Chi and Taoist philosophy with me , practicing Tai Chi in the temple courtyards near the school and of course, Madame Zhang's excellent home cooking three times a day! I would greatly recommend the school to any student wishing to learn Wudang Tai Chi.
Gordian (Nationality: Germany. Stay June 29,2011 -July 5)
I stayed only for one week at the Wudang Taoist Wellness Academy on Mount Wudang. The Enviorment and Location of the school is wonderful and I learnd many basics and the complete Wudang Tai Chi 33 Form. The tuition of Lao Gu is full of details without being overloaded and he was really flexible and spontainous to make the stay at the school to an unforgetable week. Accomodation and food left no wish unfullfilled. I have decided already to come back this year for a longer stay.
