Hello YMAA members. Question regarding an art call Wujuquan. I recently came across this art while browsing for martial arts instruction in the Dallas, TX area. A school I came across (www.wujidomartialarts.com) claims Wujiquan is one of the oldest martial arts and that they teach it. In their claim, they say :
"WujiQuan is to my knowledge the oldest extant Chinese Martial Art. It originates from the former Han Dynasty. It is a distant great grand father of Xingyi Quan. Its principles shape the very core of all extant Chinese Wushu. In Beijing it is pronounced Woo Yee.
It is an incredible technology. I like to compare it to other styles this way. Most martial arts are Newtonian in their use of mechanical physics. WujiQuan is QUANTUMN in how it utilizes both the internal and external forces, form and formless aspects of movement, form, intention, and will. It is extraordinarily impressive as a technology of combat. "
My questions are
1) Is the above mentioned school legit?
2) Is Wujuquan for real and is this school teaching the real thing?
3) If the school is not legit, where can I lean Wujiquan in Texas?
4) If Wujiquan is not real, then what art would be considered the closest in philosophy and theme?
I ask because I find the theme and philosophy in this art quite fascinating. I wish to learn an art with central themes such as primordial emptiness and “quantum mechanics”. Such themes seem inline with a number of my personal beliefs and reasoning. Any information on this subject would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
