Wudang or just more Wushu

[Great Equalizer]

Well I am very excited about the fact that I found a Wudang school in my area taught by Master Bing. A man who has lived in Wudang for 15 years, and has kust left it to come here 1 1/2 years ago. So to learn from this man is to learn from an authentic Wudag master. My only fear is has this art turned into another Shaolin. Now let me explain Shaolin guys and gals, it's not that I don't have respect for the art, on the contrary, but I believe that since the cultural revolution, Shaolin has been redefined as a bit of a tourist attraction. But that's off topic, does anyone here train in the Wudang arts, and can someone tell me it's not just mere Wushu ??!!

Shaolin has been criticized as a tourist attraction for centuries. It's part of the tradition. If you have some romantic vision that Shaolin is like Kwai Chang Caine, you haven't even entered our first chamber yet. :p

Hey Gene, I have a question regarding the TV show Kung-Fu. You know when Grasshopper graduated he lifted the hot urn that branded his forearms. In that chamber you can only leave one way. You can't go back the way you came in,so how is it the the urn is always burning? Who maintains it?and how does he get out?

He jumps into the burning cauldron and burns himself alive.
