Wudang Principles Canada Offers Classes In Tai Chi, Qigong , Meditation And Mindfulness Movements. On the surface Wudang Principles evolved and stems from a comprehensive system of Kung Fu, from the Wudang Mountains of China. Kung fu (Gong Fu) is the attainment of a great skill through a consistent, mindful practice over time. Practices such as Taijiquan (Tai Chi), Qigong and Taoist Medicine are a
few jewels from the Wudang Arts, practiced over 1500 years ago. This is a practice in the dissolution of styles and systems; so you may touch upon the creativity and the freedom to integrate the core of the varying Martial Arts. When you begin to dissolve set patterns, styles, dead routines and lose yourself (mental conditioning); a moment arises, when YOU are not doing the forms, the forms happen spontaneously or becomes alive. It is not about teaching ten thousand techniques, but having the realization that all these techniques reside in us. Living Principles of the old masters comes to life. The old masters understood the human body as being deeply evolved and holds the potential for peak physical evolution. The miraculous potential of trillion of cells in harmony vibrating with subtle life force. A mechanism which allows us to delve into the depths of who we are, that can take us from a limited identity to unbounded states of self-expression. Wudang Principles explores the practices of movement in relation to the ourselves. Moving with awareness and alignment of the Internal body with the External structure. Harmonizing the Mental, Physical and Energetic body with our Natural surroundings (Nature). Observing stillness within our movements, as we flow with grace, lightness and ease. Moving in alignment and with Existence.
“Yesterday they call it WUDANG PAI, today I call it WUDANG PRINCIPLES” Ismet Himmet
Forms and techniques are like poems, which expresses and transmits something beyond words and movements. Once you can see the world through the heart and the eyes of the poet, freedom arises to live your inner truth. Once you can see the HEART of the movement, every repetition becomes meaningful. Wudang Principles is about becoming aware of the primary essential essence that sustains the external structure. Inner consciousness reflected in the external movements. This is a “taste of the TAO”
Although our training is simple in its approach and Principle based instead of Philosophy driven. Here are a few quotes to give you a better understanding of our mentality toward our daily practice. Meditation is to be aware of every thought and of every feeling, never to say it is right or wrong, but just to watch it and move with it. In that watching, you begin to understand the whole movement of thought and feeling. And out of this awareness comes silence. Jiddu Krishnamurti
All that is important is this one moment in movement. Make the moment important, vital, and worth living. Nothing is more revealing than movement. - Martha Graham
“There is more wisdom in your body than in your deepest philosophy.”― Friedrich Nietzsche
You are the universe in ecstatic motion.~ Rumi
