  • This sword form is performed at Nan Yan Temple (South Cliff Temple) in the Wudang Mountains in China. I had just learned the form on this trip and it was one of my first times practicing it all the way through outside of Master Yuan's School in Wudang.

    The Tai Yi Xuan Men Jian (Extreme Mysterious Gate Sword) is an interesting and dynamic form that can be practiced at different paces. It's meant to embody the separation of Yin and Yang into their opposing components through the movements and include parries, thrusts, slices, cuts, all the stances and kicks. It's a very complete form. It has over 60 movements and I've listed them below.
    The Nanyan Temple (Chinese: 南岩宫) is a temple in Wudang Mountains, Danjiangkou, Hubei, China. It is known as the place where Emperor Zhen Wu found Taoism and flew to heaven. The whole structure - hall-pillars, beams, arches, gates and windows - is created out of rock.
    The temple is enshrined with gilded bronze statues of several dozen Taoist deities, including the God of Prime Origin and the North God. There are also 500 gilded iron statues of the heavenly officials on the cliffs, each about 30 cm tall. With their well-balanced proportions, they are amazingly lifelike.
    Nanyan Temple is considered the most spectacular of Wudangshan's three famous temples, the other two being the Purple Cloud Temple (Zixiao gong) and the Golden Hall (Jindian). The temple was officially appointed an Important Relic Preserving Unit in 1996.

      Thank you! I love practicing at that Temple. The sword in Wudang Kung Fu has some interesting symbolism outside of the fighting aspects. In ancient China, when a disciple became a priest, their master would give them a sword. In fact at the school that I train, Master Yan still gives a sword to each student who becomes a disciple. The sword symbolized cutting off their ties to their former life in the material world. In Daoism, negative influences in your life (distractions, harmful emotions, etc.) are referred to as “demons”. These negative influences are symbolically killed with the sword. In addition to killing inner demons, Daoists also swords during ceremonies to slay evil spirits.

      @@DaWeiGongfu That's fantastic!!! ...I really need to get a sword then... maybe a shield as well... seems to be many non-favorable forces and grim guided energies against me on this current path in my life. These things and those beings that can't be trusted. ...Your story of the Wudang Sword principles and legendary history is truly WONDERFUL!!! I need to practice this ancient demon banishing sword technique you shared with me.

    • @DaWeiGongfu
      @DaWeiGongfu  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      None of them are really better than the other. My teacher, Yuan Xiu Gang says "There is no best Kung Fu". It's more about how well the individual person trains, the dedication and effort they put in, the skill of their teacher and how much they practice sparring and fighting other people.
      I have a video where I talk about what my master, Pan Qing Fu taught me on this subject. You might be interested in that. You can see it here:
