About Wu-Tan Denmark
Wu-Tan Denmark is associated with the Wu-Tan Chinese Martial Arts Association. Wu-Tan was founded by the late Grandmaster Liu Yun-Qiao in the 1970s to help promote Chinese Guoshu to the general public. The phrase Wu-Tan can be broken into two parts, Wu meaning martial arts and Tan meaning alter. Combined, the term refers to a place of martial arts. The goal of Wu-Tan is to research, preserve, promote, and document Chinese martial arts.
​
Wu-Tan Denmark offers instruction in Northern Praying Mantis Boxing, Bajiquan/Piguazhang, Jiao Men Changquan, and Chen style Taijiquan (Du Yu Ze line). For more information please feel free to contact Paolo Castaneda for an appointment and introduction lesson.

Our Styles
Since Wu-Tan Chinese Martial Arts Denmark believes in students growing, developing and bonding outside of the classroom, there are a variety of activities available for all types of interests. Take a look below to learn more.
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.
Chen Taijiquan
Taijiquan (also spelled Tai Chi Chuan), or grand ultimate fist, is considered one of the three major internal styles of guoshu.
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.
