Wudang Mountain Martial Arts Training Course

by Zhou, Xuan-Yun, Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming

Enter the Mystical Sacred Mountain of Wudang

China’s Wudang Mountain is the stuff of legend. Enshrouded high atop its cloud crested peaks stands a martial legacy that has inspired scholar warriors for generations. Wudang swordsmen and swordswomen proliferate the lore of ancient China with their tales of heroism and martial skill. And today, Wudang has even inspired rap and hip-hop music. The chartbusting mega-group Wu-Tang Clan takes its name from an alternate spelling of Wudang.

And it’s real. Wudang Mountain is an actual place. It’s actually a range of mountains in Hubei Province, scattered with ancient Daoist temples, lofty sanctuaries, and remote hermitages. Hundreds of priests, shamans, and masters are nestled in these forbidding mountains, and their martial arts are still very much alive.

Wudang is the cradle of Tai Chi, along with other internal arts like Bagua and Xingyiquan. It is a mecca for Qigong and a treasured source of authentic martial arts.

If you can’t get to the mountain, now the mountain comes to you. Master Zhou, Xuan-Yun is a genuine Daoist monk who grew up training Tai Chi and Kung Fu on Wudang mountain. Master Zhou (pronounced ‘Zow’) has created an extraordinary video series that reveals the time-honored arts of Wudang in this unprecedented Wudang Mountain Martial Arts Training Course.

Follow the Dao and Increase Your Martial Power

You now realize why Wudang has been called “The First Divine Mountain Under Heaven” as for centuries this sacred mountain was the choice for those in search of the Way (the Dao).

With the Wudang arts, you can most effectively use the physical strength you have, while developing these subtle skills of listening and following jing (energy), and defeat an opponent without having to overpower them.

The movements of the internal arts are often compared to clouds and water. Clouds move seamlessly. Water absorbs any force that comes at it and flows around obstacles. Water is one of the most common metaphors in Daoist literature. Observing nature and learning from it is common ground for Daoism and the Martial Arts. Because every aspect of life is a manifestation of the Dao, even a cloud or the movements of an animal can teach us something.

DVD: Wudang Kung Fu by Zhou, Xuan-Yun

Wudang Kung Fu Fundamentals Revealed
For thousands of years, the Wudang arts were kept secret from the outside world. This program shows, for the first time, the fundamental training practices used on Wudang Mountain. This one-on-one lesson offers detailed instruction of a warm-up routine, and the basic stances, punches, and kicks of Wudang Kung Fu. The fundamental Wudang Kung Fu (1st Form 基本套路 Ji Ben Tao Lu) sequence is also taught with practical martial applications. This program offers deep insight into traditional martial arts training, no matter what style you practice.

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-style 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.

Features performances by senior YMAA Instructors Nicholas C. Yang and Adison Martin.

DVD: Wudang Taijiquan by Zhou, Xuan-Yun

Learn the Mysterious Art of Wudang Taiji

Beautiful Wudang Mountain is the world's largest Daoist center. Dating back 2,000 years, it spans 321 square kilometers with 72 peaks, dozens of architectural masterpieces, many lakes, rivers, and a forest which still sustains over 600 known medicinal herbs. Daoism is an ancient Chinese philosophy that teaches its practitioners to live a peaceful, refined life in harmony with nature. Centuries ago, Daoist philosophy, such as yin/yang theory, was adopted into the martial arts trained by the monks of the Wudang monasteries, and Taijiquan (Tai Chi Chuan) was created.

Taijiquan, or 'Grand Ultimate Fist', combines the internal skills of yang sheng (life nourishing) with ancient fighting techniques. Practiced slowly, Taijiquan is a set of gentle, flowing movements which promotes exceptional health and well-being. Taijiquan emphasizes the development of a strong root, proper body alignment, efficient movement, and a calm and relaxed mind and body. The application of Taijiquan reveals it is an effective martial art specializing in using softness to overcome hardness, uprooting the opponent, redirecting incoming force, and striking vital points.

This program discusses the history of Wudang Taijiquan, offers a Warm Up section, and teaches the essential skill of Zhan-Zhuang, or standing meditation, which develops the Qi (energy) throughout your body. The complete 108-posture Wudang Taijiquan sequence is demonstrated, and each posture is instructed separately with martial applications. Each technique is taught and demonstrated in detail, making it easy for the viewer to learn. The ancient art of Wudang Taijiquan has much wisdom to offer beginners and experienced Tai Chi practitioners of all styles.

He belongs to the Orthodox Unity sect of Daoism, and is trained in ritual arts, chanting, divination, and internal alchemy.

“Xuan Yun is a great teacher. Of all the Wudang Daoists who offer English DVDs, he's the one who has genuine interest in sharing knowledge. While others only teach 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

“Learning martial arts from a book or dvd is always a challenging process. This program is an excellent introduction and capable teaching tool for Wu Dang Kung fu, as an internal Chinese discipline. The program is well done and the english narration is clear and easy to follow. This program presents the forms and applications in a crisp and succint manner. Overall a great introduction and with advanced techniques of the internal art of Wu Dang Kung Fu.”

~ Tindaro Niosi, Student

The Story of How Master Zhou Trained at Wudang Purple Cloud Temple...

“When I was in fourth grade my grandfather fell ill, and because we needed money for hospital bills, I had to leave school. I worked on our farmland, helping my family plant corn and cotton. Eventually, my parents decided to send me to Wudang Mountain to study martial arts.

The only martial arts school actually located on Wudang Mountain was the Wudang Daoist Association School. We lived and trained at Purple Cloud Temple under Zhong Yun Long. He trained with renowned Grandmasters Guo Gaoyi and Zhu Chende and had spent three years traveling around China, searching out the Wudang practitioners who had gone into hiding during the Cultural Revolution.

When I first arrived at the school, there were over 40 students. Twelve of us shared a bedroom. Being 13, I was among the youngest. Most of the students were around 18-19 years old. Many students complained about the food. Where I’m from, the staple food is noodles. But, in Hubei Province they eat rice. I found rice hard to digest, and felt nauseous for weeks. I also wasn’t used to eating meat.

Many people found the lifestyle difficult to adjust to. Out of the 40 original students that were there when I entered the school, only 20 returned the next year.

By my second year at the school, I had proven myself as a serious student, and my tuition was waived.

During the third year, there were less than 10 of us remaining. I think it is safe to say that at Wudang Mountain, for every 200 students who train there, maybe one or two end up sticking it out.

Slow Beginnings... Stronger Ends...

I remember the day, my legs were badly swollen from over-exertion.

But, of course, I had to keep on practicing. That night, I was so tired that I couldn’t raise my legs to get into bed. I had to lift them with my hands.

I was still young at the time, and would sometimes cry at night. The winter was the worst. In addition to training, we had to go collect firewood on the mountain.

Every student had to collect 30 kg. of wood each day.

I will never forget the day when I was so tired while collecting firewood that I fell asleep in the snow.

But when I woke up, there was a pile of firewood next to me. An older student had collected it for me.

As time progressed, we became more mischievous.

Every morning all of the students would jog up the mountain together as a group.

Sometimes, my friends and I would wait until the people in front of us weren’t paying attention, and then leap off the path and into the woods.

We’d sleep in the woods until we heard the group pass by on their way back down. Right after they passed, we’d crawl out, and run after them.

When I was caught, I had to stand in horse stance all morning, holding a really big rock. But to a 15-year-old boy, it was worth it for the extra sleep.

Sometimes we had to jog wearing heavy sandbags.

I remember that on the way out, all the students would find flat rocks to pour the sand onto, only to later fill the sandbags up again on the way back.

We were like robots in those days. Eat, practice, sleep, eat, practice, sleep...

The Teacher is Revealed on Wudang, Master Zhou...

It wasn’t until my third year at Wudang that I started to find the training interesting and started to train harder because I was genuinely interested in it.

I liked the changes that were happening to me, not just physically, but mentally as well.

I started to help teach the younger students.

With a handful of advanced students, I trained in all of the traditional Wudang martial forms: first Xuan Gong Quan, Xuan Wu Quan, Xuan Zhen Quan, Taiji, Xingyi and You Long Bagua.

Master Zhou on Wudang Styles...

The Wudang styles are ‘internal’ martial arts, meaning that they focus on flexibility, whole body movement, and increased Qi flow in the body.

In the internal arts, the practitioner does not rely on the use of brute strength to defeat the opponent, but instead uses muscular strength supported by Qi.

The Wudang martial arts practice exerting force only when already in contact with the opponent, by transforming and redirecting the attack.

By learning exactly when to apply force, and in which direction, we learn to redirect an opponent’s own weight and momentum, using it against them, attacking when the opponent is off balance.

For example, when I am fighting someone stronger than I am, if I push them, my pressure may not knock them over. However, were I to pull the person forward slightly, they then would naturally react by throwing their weight backwards, at which time we stick, follow, and attack. You may also just wait until the other person is moving backwards. Were I then to apply the same pressure, with the two forces combined, it is more likely that the person will fall over.
