This is Tseng, Yun Xiang who learned Tai-chi and Kung-fu forms since childhood in China. He moved to the U.S. around 1990 and taught a few forms at our school.
Wudang Snake Style is an "internal" form related to Tai-chi-Chuan and other internal martial arts. Shaolin is considered an "external" system and has its own versions of snake and other animal styles.
The teacher learned this form in a temple in the Wudang Mountains of China when he was young. It dates back to the early development of the internal martial arts when Tai-chi-Chuan, Hsing-I and Pakua (Bagua) first divided. It is considered one of the Tai-chi-Chuan animal styles but can be practiced by itself.
@Michael Taylor The Wu style arts were descended from pure qigong and incorporated Xing Yi, Tai Ji and Ba Gua at roughly the same time during their development. Xing Yi and Ba Gua were both created by imperial bodyguards, but Tai Ji was used by armies. In the Wu family, they're traditionally taught as a ranked set - start at Tai Ji, move up to Ba Gua, advance to Xing Yi, then masters work on Xinyi Liuhe. Tai Ji doesn't really have animal styles, but qigong does, which was passed on only to Xing Yi out of them all. Pure Xing Yi practitioners believe that Ba Gua came from the monkey style of Xing Yi and that Tai Ji was made from Ba Gua. The history is incredibly sketchy when it comes to these sects of kung fu because everyone, including the Chinese government, has always wanted to give them a clear line of succession and make them seem older than they are, so it gets jumbled up with all the different claims. The reality is probably somewhere between the most mundane and the most mystical of claims.
I copied these movements as I'm stuck in the hospital atm. I got to say, snake form works really well for me and has improved my health ten-fold. I do this in my room and out in open spaces. Done slowly it improves my health. Done quickly and I can handle myself enough to get away. Now if only there was a cat kung fu...
Ambassador here this has been my training this man wherever he is has been my training I've done Tai chi quote Kung Fu whatever you want to call it and this is one of the reasons why I have over 56 weeks survived out here in this mess yes sign young song I don't know where he is I don't know where he's going I don't know if he is still out here but he is my dad one of them God bless this man
This is Wudang tradition of Kung Fu. It is different from Shaolin, as Zookenesis said. I would add that Wudang is Taoist, whereas Shaolin is Buddhist. They are totally different. Wudang is very internal. It is definitely not "useless crap". It is very powerful, but one would have to experience it oneself, if you are not familiar with it. It has been largely unknown in the West for a long time.
He probably won't do that dancing motion very frequently if he has to use this to defend himself. Probably once, it gather's Qi. You just don't know what you're looking at.
The Wu animal styles come from qigong and Xing Yi. The Wu family originated in qigong and teaches Tai Ji, Ba Gua and Xing Yi as an advancement school, with masters of all three starting to learn Xinyi Liuhe Quan. Shaolin Gongfu is a completely separate thing.

Peace, with respect this is largely a misconception. All styles, even the shaolin can be done as chi gong and slowed down for internal body development. They are primarily known as "external" because they are usually seen done with force and fast. The "neija" (internal) are traditionally practiced slow, but they have an external component as well. That's the "martial" application in martial arts.
External means directing your force into the opponent, internal means taking your opponent's force and redirecting it into the opponent. Most kung fu styles are internal because the original masters usually preferred to use the opponent's force against them. Shaolin is neither all force nor all meditation. The different techniques have been developed over the years for different purposes. Those that were developed during war use force and are designed to be used in combat. Those that were developed in peaceful times are focused on meditation.
Man Tai Chi is a type of Kung fu same as Shaolin is a type of kung fu. it exist about 70 different types of kung fu traditional styles of China. and those Snake, Leopard, Crane etc. what i have heard it is a part of the Tai Chi Kung fu.
dMost outstanding video. I was brought up traditional Tae Kwon, which is from where every martial art originated (even ninjas were a Korean ripoff). Tae Kwon rules, but this fellow's style is GREAT and his stamina excellent for 3:55. I want so bad to learn a traditional Chinese style, but who's teaching?
The term 'taekwondo' was invented in the 1950s. A ninja is someone who conducts espionage in feudal Japan, the concept of a ninja is a Japanese spy. Were used to the look of a Japanese influenced Korea today, but Korea used to be more Chinese influenced. Just look at Korea during the jjoseon era.
don't try to whitewash it by saying it's internal because ut isn't. Wudan or wutan will still illustrate a martial aspect. This is some dude trying to imitate a snake. No martial aspect.But hey if you think that is "martial" art then good luck to you.

I'm interested. I have my own free flowing snake form based on this video and the many Taijiquan books I own.

srunequester66 What are some of the names of the snake forms?

Was this what Sun Tzu was talking the snake found in the Chung mountains?Srike at it's head and you will be attacked by it's tail?
I think it does.The book will teach you how to address conflict on all levels even within yourself.
Excelente!!!

Well is wudang style having any relation with shaolin style ??
frnzitsme. prince Hey so Wudang Shan Quan was influenced by Shaolin, and today Shaolin is being influenced by Wudang.
Sun Tzu (Sun Zi) was not referring to Kung Fu.

The Wu animal styles come from qigong and Xing Yi. The Wu family originated in qigong and teaches Tai Ji, Ba Gua and Xing Yi as an advancement school, with masters of all three starting to learn Xinyi Liuhe Quan. Shaolin Gongfu is a completely separate thing.

Wow, I had this tape back in high school. Pretty, but seeing it again makes me glad I burned out on martial arts.

Every martial art originated from traditional Tae Kwon? Have you got a historical source for this please?
