What are the Teachers-In-Training Classes?
DBA is again offering this series of classes by our teachers in training. This series is part of the practicum requirement for students who seek teacher certification and plan to teach Wudang Martial Arts to the public. This initiative is a further step in promoting Master Zhou’s mission to pass the Wudang Arts on to future generations by providing more people access to the physical, emotional, and spiritual benefits these healing arts provide. Courses taught by teachers-in-training offer an important pathway to inspire more students to learn, to practice, and to teach Wudang Martial Arts.
Why are these classes called "Classes by Donation"?
When you take a class led by our teachers-in-training, you not only assist them in fulfilling the capstone of their many years of training, you also support Shifu Zhou's Daoist Benevolent Association, his non-profit organization. Master Zhou hopes to encourage his students and supporters to take classes for their wellbeing while simultaneously donating to his foundation. Financial support is crucial to maintaining and sustaining this organization.

Daoist Meditation & Autumn Qigong for Health via Zoom
What is it?
Fall is a time of transition when the hot Yang energy of summer gives way to the cool Yin energy of winter. The days are shorter, the leaves fall from the trees, and we say goodbye to the long, beautiful days of summer. It is time to take the Yang energy of summer and store it away so that it is preserved on the inside. This Qiqong was designed to help the body smoothly move through the shift from Yang to Yin. Also good for Lung Energy and Boy's Wei Qi.
In this course, Daoist Master Zhou Xuan Yun will be teaching the Daoist Meditation and Autumn Qigong and discussing their health nourishing properties, such as emptying your mind and letting your Qi flow and breathing methodology. The 4-Movement Autumn Qigong Set is suited for practice this coming season. The workshop will include standing and sitting positions, discussions of theories and methods of the Qigong Set.
