About Wu-Tan Denmark

Wu-Tan Denmark was founded by Paolo Castaneda, a disciple of Grandmaster Kurt Wong of Wu Tan Alaska, and serves as the Head Coach of the school.

​

Wu-Tan Denmark is an official Danish branch of the Wu Tan Guoshu Federation in Taiwan — an organization established in the 1970s by the late Grandmaster Liu Yun-Qiao (劉雲樵), founder of Wu Tan Taiwan, to preserve and promote traditional Chinese martial arts.

​

The name Wu-Tan (武壇) can be divided into two parts: Wu (æ­¦) meaning “martial arts,” and Tan (壇) meaning “altar” or “hall.” Together, the term refers to a “hall of martial arts” — a place dedicated to the study and cultivation of martial traditions.

 

The mission of Wu-Tan is to research, preserve, promote, and document Chinese martial arts.

Our Styles

Wu-Tan Denmark continues the teachings and spirit of Grandmaster Liu Yun-Qiao through authentic instruction in several traditional systems.

Jiao Men Changquan

Changquan is an excellent exercise to promote good health. The system encourages strong stances, straight backs and relaxed supple waists and shoulders. Its practitioners derive much of their strength from their courage.

Tanglangquan - Northern Mantis

Tanglangquan, or Praying Mantis Boxing, is characterized by the ferocious hands of the praying mantis combined with the light nimble step of the monkey. The style was developed in Shandong Province, China.

Wu-Tan Styles

Wu-Tan schools curriculum may slightly differ depending on whom they studied from initially. Though this may be the case, Wu-Tan is united under GM Liu’s three core styles: Bajiquan, Piguazhang, and Baguazhang.
