Welcome to WTIA.

WTIA was founded with the goal of passing on both martial and spiritual aspects the "water method" of Taoism. Brought to America and the West by Master Bruce Kumar Frantzis, the "water method" focuses on dissolving blockages in the body to unlock the inner potential of the human body and mind. WTIA uses this method as the core for teaching Taoist Nei Gong, Taiji Quan, Xing Yi Chuan and Ba Gua Zhang. Our approach is to use the energetic and spiritual practices of Taoism to compliment and enhance the martial practices. Headed by Isaac Kamins and Jess O'Brien WTIA offers group classes, private lessons and workshops in the San Francisco Bay Area.
