The Wu Dang school is one of the most influential Daoism mountain schools of martial arts. Known for being a Daoism sect whose philosophy existed before Buddhism, it began the internal styles of Kung Fu. Wu Dang practitioners emphasize a strong foundation in the ability to move like a snake or dragon. This enables the practitioner to absorb immense blows with their body. They also have a deep emotional base in the teaching of the I-Ching.

Wu Dang students should believe there is not greatness within motion without emotion. Emotion and motion create and generate electric activity in the pathology of the blood vessels. They are circulated through the channels of the veins which in turn are synergized through the whole body. This uplifts the soul to the point where one can use his extraordinary power within.
