WUDANG TAI CHI, KUNG FU AND QI GONG IN HACKNEY, LONDON

The Wudang Pai style is an ancient Chinese system of martial and life-prolonging arts based on the Taoist principles of Yin and Yang. The most famous of these arts is Tai Chi, an ‘internal’ martial art, which means it uses qi or life force to power movements rather than muscular strength. The Wudang Pai style comes from the Wudang Mountains in China, where martial knowledge is traditionally passed down from Master to Disciple.

Shifu Lucia has gone through this process within the Wudang Xuan Wu Clan, becoming a disciple of Master Yuan Li Min in 2010 and a Master herself in 2023. At Master Yuan Li Min’s school in Wudang the emphasis is on practising basic skills, as one has to be well-acquainted with the bottom in order to reach the top levels of practice. Lucia follows this approach in her Tai Chi, Kung Fu and Qi Gong classes in Hackney, London, as well as in online training and international workshops.

You can find out more about her, the clan, the approach, and the arts of Tai Chi (Taiji), Kung Fu (Gong Fu), Qi Gong, Wudang Sword, Meditation and the I Ching, on the About page.
