Madam Lee is admirable, she kept her faith all these year, outlive most of people her age. Went through a lot, and still stayed in the same place where she wanted to be. unlike some hypocrites who took a little beating and defected to the west.
You are only Partially right. There's a saying that've circulated in the Chinese martial art circle for centuries: the MAIN DIFFERENCE between Wudang and Shaolin is that Wudang focuses on INTERNAL martial arts and Shaolin is more on EXTERNAL martial arts, of course both schools contain the arts of the other to complement their martial art into a complete system.
@zigzigerblat Most qi gongs are evolutions of yoga but some are distinct sects that were not influenced by Buddhism but existed since the days of the founding of Taoism.
@zigzigerblat Correct about the first part but not about the founder of Tao. Bodhidarma taught Yoga and Mahayana Buddhism to the monks...forming the basis for Shaolin martial arts. This Buddhism later combined with Taoism to form Zen Buddhism... The founder of Taoism is Lao Tzu from the 6th century BCE, which is around the same time that Buddha lived. There were already some pre-existing martial arts that was derived from Taoism. WuDang's history occurs thousands of years later
May God bless master Yu. 😊 I remember the first time I met the master. I said Master what is your name? He said I am yu and I said no I am me who are you master? He said I told you I am Yu! And I said back to the master I said no you don't want to be me because I am the s**t!!!! 💩 The master said no don't say that about yourself that is bad. And I said no I'm not talking about bad not the s*** meaning bad but the s*** meaning good! 😂 May God bless all of Wu-Dang because I love the heart of Wu-Dang!!!!
taoist has really just one god that they really worship in their philosophy and their actions: the god of yin, GuShen(taken from Dao de Jin, or tao te chin)
This man seems to have missed the point of Taoism all together. "I want to be a God" "I want" "I want" - Taoism is not about "wanting" or forcing an outcome to happen...
Well in ancient chinese the term kungfu(gongfu in pinyin) means something achieved through hard effort and hard work.So therefore any chinese martial art can be referred to as kungfu,that includes taijiquan,baguazhang,wudangquan and all the rest.Although taijiquan is a softer form compared to shaolinquan for example,therefore it's classified as an internal martial art,but it could still be called kungfu.So don't get mad at people calling taiji kungfu,because it is achieved through hard work.
@oscie1 I actually removed my comment way before you answered. I did that because I realized it was not constructive. I still don't agree with you. But this is a difference in teaching. I perpetuate my father's teaching he received from Grandmaster Feng Zhiqiang and it is probably a little modified. We go the other way, Jing to Chi to Shen. And I do teach Tai Chi. Sorry, but I don't think you're as knowledgeable as you may think you are. But some tui shou should settle this.
Is this just Disney bullcrap or am I under the impression that Wudang doesn't show half of what they really know to Europeans? I've read one of Zhong Yun Long's (the current head priest) articles, and it mentioned forms I've never seen a European performing, such as the 8 Gates QiGong or Wudang Long Fist, which westerners should be able to learn, since master Zhong said that it's a basic style.
Tao te ching is a book of rigerous philosophy. It is written in ancient chinese so nobody has authority on interpritation. I myself wouldnt consider tao te ching a religious book. taoism is less a religion and more a way of life. The beauty of Tao te ching is that it doesnt tell you what to do, or what to not do. It tells you that "doing things" itself is wrong, thus, no action.
@igentertainment well yes and no. shaolin too has many internal styles apart from the external. there are over 120 styles in shoalin (not adding the rare styles). i train in traditional shaolin (not shaolin wushu) for over 8 years now. tai chi being an shaolin art is one of them amongst other styles
@zigzigerblat Aye, I don't mean official Tao martial arts, but 'fighting styles' associated with Taoism. There are various historical martial arts that aren't "based in Taoism" but draw influence from ideas such as yin yang, etc
hey man i have a right to speak. i have been reading and understanding the realities of Kung-fu and its principles. Any way i just found a dojo and a diamo for myself so if you want to have a talk you can always find me on oyu tube.
ONE DAY I HAVE TO GO UP MT WU DANG AND TRAIN INTERNAL MARTIAL ARTS UP THERE. FOR A YEAR SERIOUSLY. BUT I THINK I AM TOO OLD ALREADY TO MEET THEIR AGE REQUIREMENTS (THEY DON'T ACCEPT STUDENTS AFTER 28 YRS OLD) LOL
they let men film their training and their forms. Why? a lot of masters dont permitt films or photo because if u want to see true martial art take the airplane and run to find a master, if u can.
u dont have too it just that they just try real hard the know that perfection doesnt exist but doesnt keep ppl from trying. plus wester religons are stupid easter ones a more practical
i believe this video has many truths and many lies, kinda hard to say. I wish i knew kung-fu and tai-chi. i always read about it but never have a chance to learn about it.
gun towards people who perform martial arts only states that the person with teh gun is a coward...unless you didn't mean that, then why did you post that image

I have this back in the UK. Love it! Wudang Shan is a very special place.

A living piece of history, and so very beautiful.
damnit..i totally wish there was a kung fu school around where i live
Grazie 🙏
If you lock yourself in a room without contact for 10 years how do you get food, and where do you poop?
So much respect for this lady. You never see that coming from a pope, a bishop, cardinal or priest from the Vatican.
Hey it's Wang Ping, I'm surprised I can recognize him.
taoist has really just one god that they really worship in their philosophy and their actions: the god of yin, GuShen(taken from Dao de Jin, or tao te chin)
when i grow up, i wanna be Hokage... XD
thx for shared
damn dude... look at their energy and power.... at 1:30 i was like "holy shit"... rediculous... kinda sucks about the famine and military actions...
The real Wu-Tang Clan masters!
This man seems to have missed the point of Taoism all together. "I want to be a God" "I want" "I want" - Taoism is not about "wanting" or forcing an outcome to happen...
J.M. Studios i reckon this was a comedy sketch portraying false information and wrong translation overdubs

Sadly some of the words are wrongly translated. Master Lee wants to be an IMMORTAL not a god.

Wudang is more of an Internal school, whereas Shaolin is more External...I believe Wudand 2 be much more powerful than Shaolin

mt. wudang is the best place in china. this is just an excerpt. the part where jade dragon was the narrator is better. can you post it bro?
the whole video doesnt work...it stops at 1:30 ... where can i find the rest of this video? what is the title of the documentary?
@GOG777 Just kidding anybody know where I can find the whole documentary?
I really hate it when people refer to taichi as "kungfu"... Taichi was born in wudang... 2 different things...l2 disquish them
Not sure i taped it from the TV. Perhaps you can email them and ask.
"he has lost touch..." Don't they have medications now for that?
thing is.. not everyone can.. they need motivation
SO TRUE
the guy in black headgear wants to live forever and be a taoist god ?? lmao.
why all those masters are so hurryed of telling about their training? Best masters dont make utube videos i think... however respect to this video...
"I want...to become a Taoist God! He he he he..." Ooookay....
