    Wudang Taoist Kung Fu Academy

    Is anyone familiar with the Kung Fu academy on Wudang Mountain? Have any of you gone to study there? I read the article in KungFu magazine about the chief priest. But is this place good to learn? do they do crazy things? Does anyone have any info??

    Which article do you mean?

    Do you mean our SEP OCT 2004 cover story or my personal e-zine account of going to Wudang ?
    I didn't get the chance to train there unfortunately, but I visited two of the more prominent schools. I'm not sure how many there are up there - not too many actually, although I hear there are more in the foothills. I'm not sure what you mean by "crazy things" but there's definitely some good stuff going on up there.

    Thanks for your kind words on my work

    There's more.

    Beyond the cover story for the SEP OCT 2003 issue , we did a 'Wudang' special for our Sep Oct 2002 issue - that's where I unloaded a goodly chunk of my Wudang research. You should pick up that back issue too, if you're researching Wudang. In fact, that's the key one, IMO.

    Just out of interest, have you asked how big the class sizes are?

    There's a big difference between this:

    and this:

    It's not Wudang, it's Hong Kong. And it's not being put on by Kung Fu Tai Chi, it's being put on by National Geographic. NG is a magazine with a serious budget - they get car advertisers and such, stuff that is light years beyond anything we can solicit in the martial arts field. Nevertheless, this trip to Hong Kong is with my friend and fellow Shaolin researcher, Justin Guariglia. I spotlighted Justin's work in a short news piece, Shaolin & Amnesty International, in our Jan Feb 2006 issue.
