Duncan Wong
Growing up with backyard martial arts and the realness of street fighting in the rural delta region of Northern California, juxtaposed with the influence of his grandfather's Gung-Fu practice and incense burning rituals, and formal dojang [Korean martial arts school] training; with his Buddhist master, in San Francisco's Chinatown and Japan Town, he was never a stranger to the intuitive reflexes and highs associated with physicality.
His travels expanded with his interests, which took him across the Asian landscapes of China and India. He sought out great beings of knowledge, honing his skills and awareness, which eventually exposed him to the art of Thai massage [active yoga massage] and other healing methods. Integrating this form of sacred touch was the necessary element that supported the development of the Yogic Arts system into its current form, which is the ongoing expression of his life's work.
Duncan Wong is the creator of the Yogic Arts system.
His practice spans over 20 years and his teachings extend across the globe.
