Dear Family,
Greetings to all! I just recently came back from taking part of the amazing UK Summer Camp, where I had some conversations with my brothers Tim, Barry and Sifu regarding the practice of Wudang Taijiquan and its teaching methodology. Sifu had experesed many times that Wudang Taijiquan is the pinacle of Shaolin Kungfu, or to be more precise, that Wudang Taijiquan evolved from Shaolin Kungfu and that at the time was developed by the immortal Zhang San Feng, was just called Kungfu. The name Taijiquan came about much later and a few great classics had been written by some Masters.
So, in order to best honor the real history behind the method and its source, the following question came about and Sifu asked me to posted here, for the consideration of the family:
Is it more appropriate to call our Wudang Taijiquan, Wudang Kungfu? Maybe, Wudang Shaolinquan? Or maybe Zhang San Feng Kungfu?
Looking forward to your answers.
