Review of the 2025 Wudang Pai International Gathering

 

📍 Albi – Puygouzon | 🗓 October 31 – November 2, 2025

 

The 2025 Wudang Pai International Gathering was held successfully in Puygouzon (Albi, France), bringing together 120 participants from France and Spain, including 22 members from Wudang Pai Auvergne.

 

Organized by the Wudang Pai Institute of Albi, in collaboration with Wudang Pai Auvergne, Wudang Pai Spain, and several partner schools (Tian Di, Au Cœur de l’Art du Qi Gong, L’Oiseau Vermillon, Tian He Yuan, Li Fenghuang Academy), this event was a true highlight in the transmission of Taoist internal arts.

 

Under the direction of
🌿 Grandmaster YOU Xuande (14th Generation Wudang Pai)
🌿 Master YOU Lizong (15th Generation Wudang Pai),
assisted by Masters YOU Weiri (Charles-Henri Belmonte), YOU Weiyue (Isabelle Reuss-Belmonte), and Fabrice Pradier (16th Generation), participants received exceptional instruction in Wudang Shi Ba Shi Tai Ji Quan — a rare and profound form from the Taoist martial tradition.

The gathering alternated Taiji Quan and Qi Gong training sessions with an inspiring conference led by the masters, offering valuable insights into the philosophy and spiritual essence of the Wudang arts.

This event was marked by a deep sense of unity, transmission, and friendship among all schools and practitioners.


A heartfelt thank you to all masters, organizers, and participants for making this edition a memorable milestone in the development of the Wudang Pai community in Europe.
