Open Training is Wu Dao’s invitation to our students and students of other styles to come train together in an open forum. The idea is motivated by the desire to encourage the flow and sharing of ideas as well as individual practice as a means of self-improvement.
First, part of Wu Dao’s philosophy is that martial arts are fundamentally based on body mechanics and energy flow. Techniques in one style generally translate well to another. Furthermore, one’s practice can be enhanced by the examination of techniques of other martial arts styles.
Second, group classes are led by the instructor. To improve one’s own martial arts practice, one must devote time and energy in self-training and discovery. Open Training is designed to be a safe environment in which students train with self-initiation but under the supervision of a Wu Dao instructor.
In Open Training, self-control and discipline, and free exchange of ideas are emphasized. Everyone will learn something, including the instructors.
Training Fee:Students who are not currently Wu Dao members pay a fee of $15 each time to practice during Opening Training
