Wudang Mountain in central China is a physical and spiritual sanctuary. Covering over 300 square kilometers, it has 72 peaks, breathtaking lakes and rivers, and a forest with over 600 known medicinal herbs. Home to dozens of temples, it is the world’s largest Daoist center. Daoism is an ancient Chinese philosophy that teaches people to live a refined life, in harmony with nature.??

The monks of Wudang Mountain centuries ago blended Daoist concepts with traditional Chinese fighting arts, integrating physical and spiritual practices, and internal-styale Wudang Kung Fu was born. Wudang Kung Fu emphasizes flowing and agile movements, designed for self defense. It develops a strong root, proper body alignment, efficient movement, and a relaxed body and mind.

Review

Xuan Yun is a great teacher. Of all Wudang Daoists who offer English DVD, he’s the one who has genuine interest in sharing knowledge. While others only teaches the forms, he teaches the forms together with small but important things such as how to position your eyes, tongue, tailbones and perineum. When I asked him questions about qi gong and nei dan – internal alchemy -, he took time to answer my questions in details, providing many valuable points that I would otherwise miss… I am really glad that I discovered Xuan Yun and YMAA. -Hoa, student from Illinois
