Taichi Instruction
Our Taichi program develops balance, flexibility, and mental focus through traditional forms. Students learn slow, flowing movements that improve joint health and reduce stress. The practice combines martial applications with therapeutic benefits, making it suitable for all ages and fitness levels while promoting cardiovascular health and body awareness.
Baguazhang Training
This circular martial art enhances agility and footwork while building core strength. Our Baguazhang instruction emphasizes evasive foot patterns, palm techniques, and combat applications. Practitioners develop spatial awareness and improve coordination through continuous circular movements that also benefit cardiovascular conditioning and mental focus.
Yiquan Practice
Our Yiquan program focuses on internal strength development through stationary stances and mindful movement. Students cultivate body alignment, structural integrity, and energy flow without external motion. This practice improves posture, enhances proprioception, and develops martial power through mental intention rather than physical force.
Youth Programs
Designed for children aged 6-16, our youth programs build discipline and confidence through age-appropriate techniques. Students learn self-defense fundamentals while improving physical coordination and focus. The curriculum emphasizes character development, respect, and safe practice methods that promote lifelong fitness habits and personal responsibility.
Yijin Jing
This ancient qigong system strengthens tendons and muscles through 12 dynamic postures. Our Yijin Jing practice enhances flexibility, increases joint mobility, and improves energy circulation. The sequence promotes spinal health, corrects posture, and builds functional strength while balancing internal organ systems through coordinated breath and movement.

Wujitang is like Wudong () in Greater Vancouver for me : a place to train my mind, body and spirit. There is such a wide variety of internal martial arts to learn from a professional master in a supportive community setting.
