Why Study Tai Chi & Kung Fu at DragonGateD.C.?
|
In old times, the Taoist of the Wudang mountains of central China would practice their daily kung fu outdoors in the crisp, clean air of such elevations. Cloud covered mountain peaks and evergreen trees as far as the eye could see provided the setting (I know, I've spent time there!). These surroundings alone were a healthful compliment to their practice. At DragongateD.C., classes and training likewise take place outdoors in a beautiful wooden training hall. Its a bit of a sanctuary for tai chi and kung fu students, nestled within the Brookland neighborhood of the nation's capital.
Come see it and you'll feel why these arts are best practiced in the outdoors, where Qi flows and gathers without the impedance of four walls. And worry not, there are infrared heat lamps for the winter and fans and shade for the summer. Taking classes at DragonGateD.C. is a good choice for many reasons. The school is dedicated to the history and legacy of Wudang kung fu. The foundation of this system is built on the Taoist principles of health, refinement, patience, cultivation, longevity and self-preservation. You'll be taught these arts while developing an understanding that through commitment and dedication to the practice, you'll reap the rewards so generously offered by the Tao ('the Way'). You won't find the market-place, business driven model of most martial arts schools out there. You won't be required to purchase belts and sashes that confirm your "level of advancement." You won't be urged to pay for assessment exams every 6 months. You won't be pressured in any way. You'll simply be encouraged to do your best. |
