Hello!

I have a question about the e-magazine article about qi as a metaphor. (I just posted a related question about it up in the main forum, so I hope this doesn't count as double-posting.)

As well as kind of getting into the idea of metaphors in martial arts, I was also curious about traveling to Wudang Shan. I was kind of dimly aware that what the writer calls "kung fu tourists" existed, but I didn't know Westerners could actually study at Wudang. It fills me with questions.

How? How does that happen? Is it brutally expensive? How experienced should one be before trying to go? How much planning does it take?

Has anyone here done it before?
