An environment steeped in the energy of Wudang Shan
The school is located about twenty minutes from the protected Wudang Shan park, at the foot of the mountains. Although situated outside the tourist area, it fully benefits from the unique atmosphere found throughout the region.
The sacred mountains of Wudang have for centuries been a major center of Taoist culture. Their presence profoundly shapes the environment: the air is pure, the pace slower, peaceful and deep. It is a place suited to study, to the practice of internal arts, and to sincere inner work.
Here, life follows the rhythm of nature. The silence of the mountains, the simplicity of daily life, and the authenticity of the teachings create a favorable setting for centering oneself and progressing.
Comfortable rooms
The school has about twenty recently renovated rooms, single or double, open year-round, with comfortable beds, heating, and air conditioning.
With private or shared bathrooms depending on needs, they can accommodate individual stays as well as groups in a simple, welcoming setting.
Food at the school
Healthy, delicious cuisine prepared according to the theory of the 5 elements
The school’s meals follow the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, emphasizing simplicity, naturalness (avoiding processed foods as much as possible), balance, and adaptation to the seasons.
Meals include meat, but vegetarian options are available for those who need them.
Immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the Wudang Sanfeng martial arts school
Far from the bustle of cities, the school offers a peaceful setting where practitioners from around the world come together, forming a large family united by the Way, under the attentive guidance of Master Yuan Limin and Master Tianlifang. Surrounded by animals, children, and adults, everyone progresses at their own pace in a simple, lively atmosphere.
