WU DAO ACADEMY

Wu Dao Academy is committed to preserving and promoting the traditional Chinese martial arts of Kung Fu, Tai Chi, and Qi Gong. Our mission is to provide authentic training experiences that nurture physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. We offer in-person and online classes, private sessions, and immersive workshops to suit a variety of learning preferences.

​

Founded by Elisabeth Raudales, a seasoned practitioner with a lineage of esteemed masters, Wu Dao Academy emphasizes a holistic approach to martial arts education, focusing on strong fundamentals and deeply rooted techniques. Our teaching reflects the traditional way martial arts were transmitted: not limited to one fixed style, but guided by universal principles that exist across classical systems.

​

Whether students practice Tai Chi, partner work, or traditional forms from different Kung Fu systems, the focus remains consistent. We train structure, coordination, sensitivity, internal connection, and practical application. Movements are not taught as choreography alone; each exercise is explored through its martial function, body mechanics, and relationship to partner training. Principles from push-hands, internal body method, and classical combat training are integrated so that every practice supports genuine skill development.
