Chinese Kung Fu has a very long history and rich contents with a wealth of different schools. In them, Wudang Kung Fu features a uniqueness in adhering to the principles of overcoming the hard with the soft. The ancient Taoist book Tao Te Ching carries the following messages:
|
|
Beneath heaven nothing is more soft and yielding than water. Yet for attacking the solid and strong, nothing can take its place. Therefore the soft can overcome the hard, The weak can overwhelm the strong, under heaven everyone knows this, Yet no one puts it into practice.

Wudang Kung Fu is well known for its unfathomed fighting theory, special internal strength training approaches and handling skills when facing very unfavorable circumstances. The routine form sets and the weapon manipulation system often convey to people the intangible force which in many cases scare the enemy a lots before the start of fight. Thus Wudang Kung Fu enjoys an unparalleled position in Kung Fu circle in China's long history.
