A brief introduction

Daoism and Its Arts

A philosophy borned around 2,000 years back, derived from the patient observation and documentation of Nature and its cycles. Daoism took a hand from astrology, astronomy, matehmatics and early philosophy to help determine a highly accurate map of the flow of nature.

As a part of this knowledge compounding, a Cosmogony was established, a few classics were written and with it also a series of teachings in different areas of the daily human life that have the purpose of drafting the path for us to become one with nature and achieve immortality (fullness, longevity).

Some of these by-products are known as Traditional Chinese Medicine, Tai Ji, Feng Shui, Yi Jing, Mian Xiang, Qi Gong, Internal Alchemy, etc.

Daoism is based on simplicity and syncretism, making it an evolving fine art that keeps knowledge, proves its effectiveness and refines it. Therefore, Daoism is a practical way of living that requires discipline and effortless effort to understand it. As we already know, "The Master teaches the trade, but the kung fu of the apprentice depends on himself".

Our Lineage

In terms of Martial Arts and Traditional knowledge it's important to understand the roots of the knowledge. A big part of my Daoist background comes from the San Feng Pai Family in Wudang.

Wudang Mountains in China have been known for hundreds of years as a sacred place for spiritual cultivation and profund development of Internal Arts or "Neijiaquan" (内家 拳), it's said than some of the most relevant Masters of Daoism were established there and their culture and heritage is well preserved in this region.
