About the Wudang Sword Class

• Each class begins with group warm ups for joint wellness & development
• Followed by drills of primary skills and techniques
• Progression through the Daoist Sword Arts core programs is at your own pace
• Beginner classes use wooden swords that are both available for use and for purchase
• You will get to engage in controlled light contact fencing with your classmates & instructors
• You will learn traditional forms from the Wudang lineage, & how to apply them in a sword fight
• Students will learn body mechanics and alignments that are good for fencing & health
• After only a few classes, you will feel healthier, more energetic, and have a strong foundation.

After learning the foundational skills and the first forms, students will be welcome to test into the Level 2 course. With a basic display of competence, students can progress into the more advanced and intermediate material by extending their class time into the second hour.
