Media reviews

“In this book, two modern masters of Wudang Sword provide a deep understanding and historical review of this ancient art through the eyes of Master Huang Yuan Xiou. I have been fortunate to have known Dr. Lu Mei-hui and Master Chang Wu Na for two decades and still stand in awe of their unbridled commitment and loyalty to one of the highest-regarded skills in all of martial arts. Wudang Sword practice teaches how to develop one’s inner strength or Jing, transform it into Qi, convert it into Shen, and finally achieve Xu—abilities that are not only essential for this art but also for many other internal and external martial arts. It is evident that Wudang practitioners, other martial artists, and those exploring their own personal cultivation will benefit greatly from this written achievement.”
—Sifu Julio R. Ferrer (Wu Liu), director, Integrative Wing Chun, Pacific Northwest region
