Black Tiger Staff 黑虎棍

Join us for a one-day Wudang staff workshop at Penticton’s Marina Park! We’ll start with the fundamentals of Wudang staff (gun 棍)—basic stances, strikes, blocks, footwork, and ways of handling the staff—and then put them together into the Black Tiger Staff 黑虎棍.

Black Tiger Staff was created by Simon as a simplified training form that brings together many of the most fundamental movements of Wudang staff. Unlike the Eight Immortals Staff 八仙棍, which is an advanced form that can take months to learn, Black Tiger Staff is designed so that you can learn the whole form in one day and then take it home to practice.

One of the fun things about Black Tiger Staff is that it can be practiced both as a solo form and as a partner form. We’ll explore both ways of working with it, learning how the same movements change when you have another person moving with you.

The workshop is a great introduction to Wudang staff, whether you're completely new to staff training or already have some experience. You'll leave with a complete form to practice, along with a better understanding of the fundamental techniques and principles behind Wudang staff.

As always, we’ll provide plenty of context and you’ll hear the lore about the black tiger of Wudang!

The workshop will include a handout covering Wudang’s fundamental staff techniques 基本棍法 and the Black Tiger Staff 黑虎棍.
