Welcome!

I'm Michael König-Weichhardt, also known as Master Ziji in the Wudang martial arts world. I've spent years building the biggest video library for teaching Wudang Internal Arts, helping students learn these ancient practices from anywhere. Videos are great for learning, but training together in person is something special—the energy, the connections between people, and the personal growth you experience. That's why I teach regular classes in Styria and Vienna, and travel around the world for workshops and seminars. Whether you're learning from my videos or training with me in person, I'm here to help you go deeper into these internal arts.

The History of Wudang Academy

Master Ziji (Michael König-Weichhardt) started training in martial arts when he was 13 years old in 1999. He learned many different styles including Korean, Japanese, and Southeast Asian martial arts like Hap Ki Do, Karate, Jiu-Jitsu, and Muay Thai. He traveled to South Korea to train with Grandmaster Lee Chang Soo and went to Hanoi, Vietnam to study Pencak Silat with a former military instructor named Thang Phong. When he turned 17, he realized he wanted to learn something deeper than just fighting techniques. He saved his money and went to the Wudang Mountains in China. There, he spent three years training under Master Yuan Xiu Gang and Master Chen Xiangwen, learning the internal arts of the San Feng tradition. He became the only foreigner in over 12 years to complete the actual traditional training program. Many foreigners claim they completed the traditional class, but they trained in separate classes designed for Westerners. Master Ziji trained with the Chinese children in the real traditional class, where the training was strict and demanding—if he couldn't finish something, he was hit and beaten. Master Ziji is very critical of today's schools in Wudang, as most have become tourist attractions rather than places of genuine traditional training. As the 16th generation lineage holder of Wudang San Feng Pai, Master Ziji came back to Vienna in 2015 and started Wudang Academy. His goal is to share the real San Feng teachings with people in the West. Today, Master Ziji continues to teach and preserve the authentic traditions of Wudang internal martial arts.

My Local Classes in Styria and Vienna

I mostly teach in southern Styria and Graz, where I hold regular classes throughout the year. This is where you'll find most of my training sessions if you want to practice in person.

All you need are comfortable clothes and shoes with flat soles. Nothing fancy, just wear something you can move freely in. That's it.

From time to time, I also teach classes in Vienna—usually once or twice a month. Take the opportunity to train with me when I'm there.

Whether you have health problems or want to improve your internal training, we can work together one-on-one.
