First, be advised that all of these VCD's are IN CHINESE ONLY. In our opinion that doesn't matter much because the instruction is clear and the quality of photography very good. But we will not accept returns just because people didn't read... IN CHINESE ONLY. Given that, these are really tremendous deals for the money. Each of these special VCD's can be played on a computer for full enjoyment. Made for PC's they are also Mac compatible by downloading Quicktime (for free) and any similar VCD player program. Also playable on most DVD players. For less than $10.00? Wow!

Wu-Dang Nei-Jia Night Traveler Sect

A style like Wu Dang reverses the Shaolin progression. This is an important point. Shaolin has always gone from "hard to soft" and Wu Dang from "soft to hard". The point being that there are no "soft" or "hard" styles, just approaches to the overall elements needed for good Kung Fu. One of Wu Dang's attributes is a planned and graduated approach to Tzu Ran (ZiRan) or "naturalness." In this case the movements, some of which are hard, some soft show a blending of the powers of Yin and Yang. Of all the series we've seen this one emphasizes stance/breath training the most.

Demonstrator: various.

About 1 Hour, VCD pricing, Chinese Only

This entire disk is based on Chi Kung exercises which can be performed in the horse stance. Never static, always moving -if only slightly- this is an in-depth performance of martial Chi Kung with breath concentrated into the stance training. Intense but correct.

Want some good stance exercises? Really? Every style has stance training but in the Wu Dang sect we have stance training and Chi Kung completely mixed. Stances where the respiration and lifting/lowering of the body are emphasized instead of static posture. Your basic stances infused with breath and movement. This is a good disk for the serious.

VCD#647 Wu-Dang Night Sect Tai Chi Yin Yang Boxing
About 1 Hour, VCD pricing, Chinese Only
Quantity

One of the most powerful and softest sets of the style. Movements are very loose, steps are living. This is a set that looks like a combination of soft BaJi, BaGua and Tai Chi. It has a distinct dropping punch where the spine if suddenly relaxed. As in all Wu Dang the striving for spontaneity allows some very loose and somewhat imprecise arm motion.

Wu Dang Night Sect Kung Fu Night Traveler Fist
VCD#648 Wu-Dang Night Sect Night Traveler Fist
Double VCDs , VCD pricing, Chinese Only
Quantity

This set has the same name as the "sect" of Wu Dang and, being a double, one can see it is a major representative of the style. A long set with fluid hands and obvious self defense applications, Night Traveler Boxing takes the shape of Wu Dang as its standard. This is to say the arms are soft, the steps flexible and the overall effect organic.
This is a Double VCD.

One of the last of the series yet a form with "hard" actions. This form blends hard motions with the fluidity and fast stepping developed by all the earlier stance training mentioned above. A good representation.
Wu Dang Night Sect Kung Fu Tai Chi Pavilion
VCD#650 Wu-Dang Tai Chi Pavilion
About 1 Hour, VCD pricing, Chinese Only
Quantity

More than thirty minutes of seated Chi Kung training with a number of very slow, meditative exercises. Soft, slow movements of the Wu Dang type. At the end of the disk there is a general survey of the Wu Dang boxing arts. There is a definite vision between hard and soft with some sets looking like Shaolin and others like Tai Chi Chuan.
