Welcome back, Shaolindynasty
Glad you have a good experience! Hope you can share more about it here in your upcoming posts
Have a great trip, sha0lin1!
It's been way too long since I've been back to China. :(
There's plenty of aggression and impatience at Wudang
Don't believe the hype. There's all sorts of stuff practiced at Wudang, not just taiji. When I went, I was very impressed by some bagua practitioners working trees like Muay Thai fighters.
I imagine some might say the same thing about aggression and patience at Shaolin, but we all know different.
I know what you mean, Shaolindynasty
Once they realize you are serious, all that patience is left for the tourists only. I had more than a few monks kick my ass, but only after they knew I was going to be there for a spell, and that was before I took discipleship.
Maybe I should have said 'spanked' instead of 'kicked'.
But back to Wudang, taiji is only one of the eight major styles practiced there. I'm sure if you went and trained, you'd get spanked Wudang style, especially if you said you were from Shaolin and you thought Wudang was inferior. That would draw out some serious Wudang aggression and impatience. :p
