He is no secret Daoist master. Instead, he travels around and what he does in seminars is that he teach different ways of using Tai Chi mechanics in different practical ways, how to use and practice them. There are a whole bunch maybe lesser known people who does the same.
I know people who practiced with wudang "masters". They speak pretty, moves pretty. But as soon you touch hands with them, they turn stiff as dry wood.
Do you think those are effective punches? I never met wudang "masters". Do you mean the Wudang Taiji people? I met Dan Docherty a couple of times but didn't train with him
Doesn't look like much? Hard to believe there is something to it because it doesn't look strong?
It's not about believing, it's about what I know. One of William Chen's students has the strongest punch I've ever felt. It hurts very good even through a sturdy kicking protection and just like this it looks like nothing. I use and teach the same methods and similar as well.
Wudang? Dan is not someone who calls himself secre Taoist master. At the Wudang there are a few, very commercial though.
