Wudang Taiji Quan uses softness to overcome the hard and stillness to combat motion. This form is good for strengthening body and self-defense. By practicing it, people can convert strength into inner energy and then into spiritual energy. This practice combines Kungfu with inner alchemy which helps to achieve longevity, clarity & physical strength.

This practice can be broken down into 3 categories: jing(spirit), qi(breath) and shen (energy). The regulation of breathing is an important skill for this practice. The main movements are pushing, pressing, jostling, picking, elbowing and so forth. When practiced, it flows very smoothly & naturally. Wudang Taiji incorporates movement with stillness. If practices properly, besides the improvement of physical health, it can also integrate the internal & external movements together to create an overall feeling of well-being,
