About Wu Shen Tao

Our Philosophy

Many people associate martial arts with violence or extraordinary athleticism. At Wu Shen Tao, we take a different approach. We do not stress violence, nor require you to engage in activities you're not ready for. Our mission is to introduce you to the spiritual, martial, and health-related aspects of training through diverse programs ranging from Qigong and Tai Chi meditation to self-defense and traditional weaponry.

Our Approach

We aim to cultivate body, mind, and spirit by taking a traditional perspective on martial arts training. We emphasize:

  • Substance over flash

  • Cooperation over cliquish separatism

  • Health over mindless aggression

Competition Excellence (Optional Path)

While competition is not required for study, we have trained dozens of national championship gold medal winners. We view competition as one more self-challenge that helps measure progress and develop the ability to focus amid chaos.
