Daoshu: Wudang Daoist Arts in Oxford, UK |
Oxford? Europe? ChIna? ThE Dao & Beyond…
Study weekly in Oxford, and enter the global wudang community!
In addition to our weekly classes and seasonal workshops in Oxford, we travel most years to Barcelona to train intensively for an Autumn weekend with Shifu Pablo Salas (Wudang Tao Barcelona/Wudang Tao Catalunya ). We train in the hills above the city, often accompanied by wild boar who visit us while we train! In these workshops, we benefit from Pablo’s joint lineage in San Feng Pai and Xuanwu Pai, and learn forms from our sister tradition. Pablo also visits us in Oxford most years to provide workshops here. Shifu Lucia Ring Watkins from Wudang Pai UK also has visited us in Oxford to lead workshops.
Shifu Jeff Reid from Wudang Wudao used to train us intensively when he was based in London. Now in Santa Cruz, California, he still visits us yearly to continue his tuition via workshops in Oxford.
Finally Master Bing, our Master in Wudang itself has been able to teach many of our students via online classes and workshops, with some of our students beginning his teacher training programme. We hope to travel to Wudang to train with him in person via an unforgettable 2 week trip, with those students who go having prepared their mind and body through dedicated training in the UK, to manage the rigorous training demands of taiji, gong fu and meditation training on the mountain itself. We hope to welcome Master Bing to Oxford at a future point, so all students can benefit from his experience and warm teaching.
