    Master Chen Shiyu showed great interest in martial arts. In 1993, he left his hometown and came to Mt Wudang. He learned martial arts from different teachers for some time and then he was honored to have Grand Master Zhong Yunlong as his teacher. The Daoist Master Zhong is the 14th successor of Wudang Wushu of Sanfeng branch. He saw that Shiyu was very hardworking and had a honest and simple mind, so he chose him as one of the closest disciples in 1996. Since then, with the strenuous cultivation from Master Zhong, Chen Shiyu has attained Wudang internal kungfu which was in the past not easily spread out.

    Location

    We are proud to be the only school that is located in the heart of the Wudang mountains, at Huilongguan (Returning Dragon) Temple. Huilongguan is the first temple after passing the entrance to the National Park of Wudangshan. Our school is easily accessible by a frequent bus service that starts from the entrance of Wudang Mountain. This makes sight seeing of the many famous temples easy and shopping in the city centre convenient.

    Traditional Gongfu and Daoist culture

    Being a small school, the school is able to offer traditional Wudang Gongfu instead of commerical Wushu. Master Chen Shiyu personally teaches every foreign student. Learning directly from a highly-knowledged master, you would gain a deep understanding of Wudang Gongfu and Daoist culture behind. Apart from the regular teaching the on our Huilongguan campus, we can also arrange teaching either deeper or higher on the mountain or downtown.
