Wudang Taoist Gongfu School

On the Home page, we ask you to enlarge the map of Wudang to see the ideal location of the Wudang Taoist Gongfu School. How ideal is it then?

Wudang Taoist Gongfu School is located in Huilong Guan scenery spot. Huilong Guan, Returning Dragon Temple, is the first temple after passing the entrance to the National Park of Wudangshan. The school is situated up in the mountain, which means the atmosphere of peace and quiet, benefitial for Taoist gongfu and Qi gong learning. At the same time, it's not far at all from the Wudangshan Township, which means convenience of life and transportation. Another reason why we say it boasts to have an ideal location is that it can avoid being disturbed by crowds of tourists usually seen in the core of the scenery area.

Wudang Taoist Gongfu School persistently focus on teaching authentic Wudang Taoist Gongfu.. We have one Taoist master teaching on Huilongguan campus and we have several associated teachers to aid when necessary. Apart from the teaching that arranged on our Huilongguan campus proper,we can also conduct teaching either deeper and higher into the mountain or downtown.

To maintain a special Taoist atmosphere, we control the number of the students, i.e. at most around 10 Chinese students and 10 foreign students. Yes, this is not a huge school. If you've expected to register into such a huge school, better not contact us!

Location
Victor'sschool is located in the heart of the Wudang mountains away from the city centre and tourist sites. However, the school is still easily accessible by a frequent bus service that starts from the entrance of Wudang Mountain. This makes sight seeing of the many famous temples easy and shopping in the city centre convenient in your free time

Class size and Training
Compared to the other schools, Victor's school is small and the class sizes are kept purposely low to ensure personal teaching of Wudang Gong Fu and direct contact with the Master. You will receive 7 hours of daily training plus one day off a week. However this is flexible for visiting students depending on how much rest you need.

Training ground and Equipment
The Feng Shui of the school and training ground has been carefully planned. The training ground is surrounded by the mountains and a beautiful bamboo forest. The school also makes use of traditional training equipment such as wooden post training, traditional weight training and conditioning equipment.

Traditional gong fu and Taoist culture
Being a small school, Victor's school is able to offer traditional Wudang Gong Fu instead of commerical Wushu. You will have direct contact with the Master and also gain an understanding of the Taoist culture behind Wudang Gong Fu under the help of Victor Gu (School Headmaster) who is an expert on the subject.

Accommodation and Meals
Accommodation is comfortable with hot water facilities, a small shop and three meals a day prepared by the school cook. In keeping with Taoist philosophies, the food is primarily vegetarian (with some meat to balance your diet for the training ).

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ Georg and Victor Gu

Me and Victor Gu,a WudangTaoist Culture expert

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 Victor Gu, for giving me the chance to learn at his school; thanks to Master Chen Shi-Yu, for teaching me everything, and thanks to my parents, for helping me financially and supporting my decision.

Angelica,Portugal (2007-9-9)


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.'
 
Sandra,Portugal (2007-9-6)

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.

Many many thanks to SIFU Chen Xiangwen and Victor GU
