RARE OPPORTUNITY NOT TO BE MISSED

Visit to Edinburgh by Master Yuan Xiu Gang

Daoist Priest, Kung Fu and TaiJi Master Yuan Xiu Gang is visiting Edinburgh on his first trip to Europe.

Born in 1971, Master Yuan Xiu Gang, a Daoist priest (Daoist name Shi Mao), is the 15th generation disciple of Wudang SanFeng Sect. This lineage dates back to the 14th century when Zhang San Feng became enlightened by the Dao and created Taijiquan.

Master Yuan has loved martial arts since his early childhood. At the age of 7, he started basic physical training in wushu, and at 16 he studied Shaolin wushu for 3 years. As a result of his increasing skill in gongfu, understanding of internal martial arts, and enthusiasm for Daoism, in 1991 he went to Wudang Mountain, the reknown center of Daoism and internal martial arts. Master Yuan was fortunate to be accepted as a disciple by the great Master Zhong Yun Long. Since then, Master Yuan has been practicing internal gongfu like TaiJi, Qigong, XingYi, BaGua, and meditation.

Master Yuan has his own traditional internal kung fu school at Wudang Mountain in China (www.wudanggongfu.com). He will be visiting Scotland as part of a larger trip through Europe, including Romania, Czech Republic and Germany. Master Yuan will be giving a public lecture and class in Edinburgh, as well as visiting secondary schools to meet and work with local children. Master Yuan recently appeared in the new Karate Kid movie with Jackie Chan.
