Welcome to Seahorse Arts
Taoist Arts of the Lee style as taught by Professor Chee Soo.
Taoist philosophy has been a central influence on Eastern culture since before historical records began. It has always been a practical method based upon learning from Nature unlike western philosophical systems of debate of abstract philosophical ideas and concepts. Even though it has been popular since ancient times it is as relevant today as it was then as a way for ordinary people to improve their lives and deal with the stresses imposed by society, civilization and living in an urban environment.
The Lee style is one of the oldest forms of Taoist Cultural Arts which was brought to the west in the 1930's and so it still preserves the traditional Taoist methods from before the modern age. The Taoist Cultural Arts Association was established to preserve the essence of the Lee style Taoist Arts in it's purest form as a traditional style without any additions of Western philosophy, materialism, or extraneous material from other sources. It is the only Association in the world today still teaching the authentic and complete range of the Lee style Taoist Arts and following exactly the same syllabus and standards as handed down in person by Professor Chee Soo through the generations of Taoist masters before him
