Daoist Fighting Arts

Daoist Fighting Arts is the brand name for instruction by Terry Neil in the Traditional Chinese Martial Arts of Taijiquan, Baguazhang and Xingyiquan. Terry has been training and teaching in this field since 1998. He has taught groups in the U.K. and the U.S. and for the mental health industry. He is currently located in Cambridge [U.K.].

His personal training experience has branched into other martial arts (including Muay Thai, Silat, I Liq Chuan, Capoeira) but always returned to the Internal martial arts of Taijiquan (“Tai Chee Chwan”), Xingyiquan (“Shing-yee Chwan”) & Baguazhang (“Ba-gwa Jung”).

He has fought in full contact competition under modified mixed martial arts rules and San Shou / Sanda rules and believes that a practical basis for a full and rich understanding in these arts should ultimately include a knowledge of application and a capacity to deal with a modest degree of uncooperative resistance (that lies within the student’s abilities).
