YMAA Retreat Center in Humbolt County, CA is a facility established in 2005 by the founder of YMAA (Yang’s Martial Arts Association), world renowned author and teacher, Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming, Ph.D.
The main purpose of this organization is to restore and preserve the traditional Chinese arts and culture to their original high standard. Preserving the arts has been the focus of Dr. Yang’s work throughout the past 35 years, and the Retreat Center will ensure this authentic lineage of the traditional arts will continue for generations. Expertise and mastery in the field of the Chinese arts requires the guidance of an experienced teacher.
The Retreat Center will offer a unique facility to reestablish and continue the time-honored tradition in which a student lives and trains with the teacher for a decade. This level of dedication ensures deep and accurate transmission of the teachers complete knowledge, making the arts a way of life, and academic career option for each student.
Semi-isolated from the distractions of modern society in a remote mountain area in Northern CA, 5-10 students will live and train with Dr. Yang in an unprecedented 10-year training program. The extensive curriculum includes Chinese martial arts and weapons, English and Chinese literature, writing and publishing, Chinese cooking and culture, horseback riding, archery, meditation, and the healing arts.
Graduating students will be conferred the title of Master of Traditional Chinese Martial Arts.
