The past few weeks have been very eventful for the academy. Master Yuan returned from his first trip to Thailand where he helped officiate the opening a Wudang San Feng Pai Taiji Society in Bangkok. This was a wonderful event. Master Yuan is very pleased that so many people are not only taking an interest in learning Wudang martial arts, but that they are also interested in helping to spread it to the rest of the world. Take a look at Master Yuan's pictures from Thailand below.

October 11^th also marked the beginning of the Fifth International Wudang Taiji Competition. About 21 students from the academy entered the competition; 10 foreigners and 11 Chinese. For the week prior to the competition all of the students focused solely on the forms they would be competing with. As a result of this dedication to their practice, the students walked away with a total of 37 medals, more than 20 of which being gold medals. 

The Autumn-morning chill has begun to set in and everyone has taken to wearing long sleeves and sweatshirts. The academy is still quite busy and everyone is training hard and looking forward to the upcoming break.
