Wudang Kung Fu is an important style of Chinese martial arts with a very long history. Wudang Kung Fu comprises many training methods designed for health and longevity while at the same time developing many effective fighting skills. It is not just a school of martial arts, but a complete system for both self defense and health preservation.
Wudang Kung Fu cannot be separated from Daoist culture. Wudang Kung Fu has its roots in the fertile soil of the thousands of years’ of ancient Chinese civilization. It encompass ancient Chinese philosophical theories, combining traditional concepts of Taiji, Yin and Yang, Wu Xing (Five Elements), and Ba Gua (Eight Trigrams) with boxing theory and skills, training principles and attack strategies. Wudang Kung Fu is a way of studying the laws of life and nature. One may say that Wudang Kung Fu crystallizes the Daoist exploration of life. It is said that Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of Wudang Kung Fu, was cultivating his spiritual energy in the mountains when he witnessed a fight between a magpie and a snake. The magpie was flying up and down to attack and the snake was shaking its body and raising its head in defense. The scene inspired Zhang Sanfeng and provided him with a general understanding of Taiji theory. He then proceeded to create Wudang Internal Kung Fu. He found in the battle between the two creatures the following principles: 1. One must overcome the strong in a gentle way and 2. One wins by striking only when the enemy has made its move.

Having developed and been supplemented by many masters through the years, Wudang Kung Fu now has several different schools and styles which include Taiji, Xingyi (Form and Will Boxing), Ba Gua Zhang (Eight Trigram Palm), Light Body Kung Fu, Hard Qigong and many other styles of qigong. Wudang Kung Fu has come from deep in the mountains and become an important school of Chinese martial arts.
