Wu Dao Academy

Building art skills & fighting skills don’t come overnight. It requires work, it requires discipline, it requires some daily thought process.

And our lives are focused on our jobs, family, friends, our lives are focused on making money and paying bills, so we can’t practice 24 hours a day.

That’s today’s lifestyle, so we need to adjust, and balance our lives, and that’s pretty hard sometimes.

But after you did all this you can practice at home, during the day instead of taking a long lunch break, just find a place where you can train.

It’s doable, but you have to be willing to put in the work.

Will you?

Your hands are as wheels & your fists like cannonballs, your body as flexible as a willow & your footwork as swift as a shuttle.

Words that were written to me by the greatest teacher I had ever met.

Ian Sinclair is coming back in just a few days. We had such an amazing experience in May…
🌿
Me and some other Kung Fu brothers enjoyed his presence and unique skills & way of teaching.
He gave us personal pointers to work on which I’m so grateful for.

This time my students will also have the opportunity to get to know Ian. Pretty excited about that!

Take me back to 2007! Het jaar waarin ik 1 van mijn meest memorabele trips naar Azië heb gedaan.
I went to China, Beijing, voor het International martial arts training camp 🇨🇳!!
We trained like 10 hours a day en ik kan je zeggen, wat een ongelofelijk leerrijke ervaring. Man, je had erbij moeten zijn 😅.
We trainden met verschillende grootmeesters uit Taiwan & dus uiteraard ook China. Like I said, 10u per dag practice in combinatie met zalig lekker eten, gezellige uitstapjes naar de muur de verboden stad, oude tempels en what not!
En ja, dit is echt iets dat op mijn to do lijstje staat, samen met mijn studenten een training journey beleven in Taiwan of China.
One day… Some day…

Today you would’ve turned 57, but we lost you way to early, June 2nd 2009. In loving memory of this gentle warrior.

De Wu Dao Academie is een plek waar de studenten samen komen, samen gefocust trainen en tijdens de pauze onder een tasje thee gezellig babbelen en elkaar beter leren kennen.

Super blij en toch ook wel trots dat ik de stap heb gezet om deze academie op poten te zetten. Een plek waar ik mijn kennis kan doorgeven en studenten zie groeien, zoals mijn leraar Mike Martello, may he RIP, ook heeft gedaan.

Join us!!

Onze kleine talentjes zijn super toegewijd en met een gedisciplineerde houding elke les weer opnieuw groeien ze uit tot fantastische kleine strijders!

Elke woensdag les van 14:00 -15:30 in de Blikfabriek @ Lageweg 356, Hoboken!

Tot gauw!

1 maand academie! De groepen beginnen stilletjes aan vorm te krijgen. But there is room for more! Dus kom uit uwe luie zetel en join us! 😅

Ook de kids class is een super toffe bende, true, ze moeten nog wat aan elkaar wennen maar dat komt helemaal goed. Hun energie level en trainingsmentaliteit zit spot on!

Heb je nog een dochtertje, zoontje, nichtje, neefje noem maar op tussen de 6 & 18 jaar dan zijn ze meer dan welkom!

And you grown-ups, get your buts moving 😉

See you in class?!

Coach E.

Why Kung Fu?
Wel… Kung Fu omvat een breed scala aan fysieke bewegingen en oefeningen, waardoor je kracht, flexibiliteit, uithoudingsvermogen en coördinatie verbetert.

Yes, het vereist toewijding, doorzettingsvermogen en concentratie, wat je mentale discipline en focus kan verbeterende sport, maar ook in het dagelijks leven!

Én het biedt de mogelijkheid om je eigen vaardigheden en grenzen te verkennen en te verleggen, wat leidt tot persoonlijke groei en zelfontplooiing.

So, indien je nog geen sport, discipline of whatever you want to call it hebt gevonden, dan ben je meer dan welkom voor een proefles!!!

Verleg je grenzen en vind balans in lichaam en geest bij onze Kung Fu & Tai Chi Academie te Antwerpen.
Spread the word people 🤍
