Ethan, there is no historical source that points to any autoctone martial arts from Wudang.
The area in and around the mountain had its own traditions, like any other place in China, but there is no such a thing as 'wudang martial arts' let alone connection to the styles that are now taught on the mountain.
Zhang Sanfeng lived on Wudang for a number of years, according to some historical sources, but never taught martial arts. These were passed down later, after he left the mountain according to other sources, but none of them was 'wudang'. This is a term invented during Republican era out of respect for the mountain BUT mainly for commercial purposes.
So what you see today as 'wudang art', either on the mountain itself or elsewhere, is mainly recently re-engineered crap based on existing arts or totally made up from scratch.

To "shake" ones hands whit power there need to be drawing power from the ground up throu the core out to the hands, i also feel the "fajin" in the vid look "made up for looks" . But with TJQ one have to feel to see, so unless touching hand with him one seen nothing
hi Franklin I actually trained Wudang on and off for a couple years. I heard that the government destroyed Wudang and then later attempted to reconstruct the original Style by searching for anyone who still obtain the skill. I would find it difficult to believe that it was all fabricated there is just too much thereFranklin wrote:i thought there was some authentic wudang stuff...
just not the wushu on the mountain
like taiyiwuxingquan
and the cloudy hands preserved in the mantis lineage (the taiji like boxing)
in shanghai -- there is a lineage of wudang qigong...
which one of my teachers learned..
