Wudang Wushu is the treasure of China Wushu, which is known as "Shaolin in the north and Wudang in the south".
Wudang Wushu has a deep relationship with Wudang Taoism. Wudang Taoist priests often practice martial arts when practicing Taoism. Before the Song Dynasty, the Wulin master among Wudang Taoists was extraordinary. At the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty, Wudang Taoist Zhang Sanfeng founded Wudang Neijia Boxing, which was regarded as the founder of Wudang Wushu and laid the foundation for the development of Wudang Wushu.
Due to the traditional influence of Taoism, Wudang Wushu has been hidden for a long time. From the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, due to social unrest and the decline of Taoism, many Taoists went out of the mountain to return to the common customs, and Wudang martial arts spread among the people.
On the basis of inheriting the ancient martial arts theory of attack and defense, Wudang Wushu has gradually formed its own theoretical system and unique routine style by using some principles in Yi and the experience of Taoist inner alchemy. Its theoretical core is the rise and fall of yin and yang, the evolution of gossip, and the emergence of the five elements. For the purpose of training, self-defense and health care, it has the characteristics of attaching importance to intention rather than gravity, affecting four or two thousand pounds, combining rigidity with softness, making the enemy attack late, distinguishing it by inches, and making the enemy catch close.
