Maître Yuan Limin
Yuan Limin, a Taoist, is currently the director of the Wudang Sanfeng martial arts school and the head of the Wudang Wushu Group.
As a young man, he came to Wudang Shan to study Gong Fu; he became a disciple of the Xuan Wu Pai lineage, learning its secrets from Master You Xuande. He then received the name of the 15th generation: Limin.
Yuan Limin studied Wudang Gong Fu diligently and systematically, including Wudang’s secret Taiji Quan, Yin Yang Bagua Zhang, Wudang sword, Wudang’s Five Elements Qi Gong, as well as internal Gong Fu (Neidan Gongfu). To this day, he continues to practice and deepen these disciplines with passion.
In 1998, Yuan Limin began passing on his vast knowledge of traditional Chinese arts abroad. Alongside his master You Xuande, he traveled to many countries, including Malaysia, Singapore, and Europe, to teach Wudang Gong Fu. Today, he has many students around the world.
Yuan Limin is dedicated to spreading Wudang Gong Fu around the world. This art is his way of life: his past, present, and future. His goal is to pass on Wudang Gong Fu on a global scale in service of humanity. To this end, he created the Wudang Gong Dao network.
