Very happy to have you here!

[@mingqiangliang4255]

I'm very happy and grateful to you for showing the traditional Wudang culture to the world. Shiyan is my hometown and I study overseas now. I always want to show our culture to foreigners but I don't have any knowledge about this. Therefore, your channel is a good way to show Wudang culture and I will share it with my friends.

[@WudangWay]

Wow! Thank you!

[@KillMarnoc]

Over the last few months I have become entranced and obsessed with all the arts of Wudang and Daoist culture, this channel is a Godsend! Thank you Jake, your timing feels serendipitous and encouraging, hope to meet you at the temple one day x

[@WudangWay]

Hello Jake, I started practicing kung fu in February this year. Interesting fact is that my (our) Sifu if I can use this term is one of your kung fu brothers from 2009-2014 "Olda", or Oldrich, maybe you remember him :) It is really an honor to learn from him and I totally respect him. Regards from Czech Republic, Miroslav!

[@WudangWay]

Hello! Yes, of course I know Olda. You will have to send him my best the next time that you see him.

[@honeybee9446]

@@WudangWay Sure I will :)

Welcome! I hope these tutorials help you in your practice!

[@Doobie386]

Great! Thank you!

[@charlescc0574]

I didn't imaging one day I can learn our Chinese culture from an American guy. Your introduction is more convince than any traditional boring Chinese education before. Feel Very enlightening from your life choose and the way you learn Wudang. Everyone has to find his own way of life, and wudang way be one suitable way for most Chinese people. We lost this valuable tradition for long time. Thank you Jack.

[@WudangWay]

Welcome! I am very grateful for your words and I am happy to have something to offer.

[@TairyuShakuhachi]

Wonderful!

[@WudangWay]

Thank you!

[@danhoadley3535]

Hey Jake! This series is a great idea, I'm looking forward to seeing more, I like the high-quality scenery shots in the background of your presentation, and it will be interesting to have you share both the philosophy and the mechanics of some of your moves.

[@WudangWay]

Hey, Danny! Glad that you are here. Yea, these have been a lot of fun to make! Really happy with how it is going. A LOT more planned and set up to release!

[@quynhdango6]

IThis is such a great channel. I watched all your series and so thankful that you are passing the teaching to the public . With this channel, you will reach thousands of people and helping them either spiritually and physically. I hope to meet you in real life one day and be trained directly from you!

[@WudangWay]

Thank you so much! I am very happy to be able to add my voice to this and share my perspective!

[@erwinclement8167]

Bonjour j'ai été surpris par une ressemblance sur une autre vidéo Rassuré de voir votre singularité Bonne continuation

[@rgilbar]

This is great channel. However, there are a lot of videos and it’s difficult to figure out a good sequence for study since they aren’t numbered or grouped. Can you provide some guidance? Thank you do much for your excellent teaching style.

[@WudangWay]

Thank you! The basics series that follows this video should be followed in order of release. The series goes through the comprehensive stances in the order that should be practiced. You can view videos in order of release and follow that order.

[@dannynova3412]

I need a video on your clothing types. I watch Wuxia and see the Wu dress code and love it but I don't really understand everything.

[@WudangWay]

Hmm. Yes, I have explained this in posts and even in a podcast I believe, but it would be a good idea to make a quick video about it.

[@dannynova3412]

@@WudangWay I did find the clothing posts. Thank you. I am working my way thru all of your videos. Fascinating!

[@Wushu-bholg123]

I am from Nepal and I am a old kungfu player but I want to learn wudang 🎉😢❤

[@WudangWay]

Welcome to join the Way!

[@ChristopherHoadley]

At 3:43, you speak of the 3 treasures: Vitality, Energy, and Spirit. I assume there are subtleties that are lost in translation, but Vitality and Energy seem to be the same? I tried looking on Wikipedia, but it is all pretty complicated. Does the Body/Mind/Spirit approach you are taking correspond to Jing/Qi/Shen? Or are they the 3 facets that you are using to approach the ineffable? I understand that there is no way to compress such a gigantic topic into one video (let alone 3 words), but I am trying to see the outline. Great video!

[@WudangWay]

Yes, this is going to be a big topic in future releases. The translations are never perfect, but Jing roughly correlates with the energy that forms life, Qi to the energy that sustains, and Shen to the energy that gives purpose. I know that is probably equally as vague in some respects but that is the problem with condensing such an idea. The subtleties are where it all happens. ;) These are the three interpretations that I am using to frame the channels moving forward. It has a nice symmetry to it.

[@kasumifu1541]

@@WudangWay Use the word Essence instead of Vitality. Pretty please. ^^

[@WudangWay]

@@kasumifu1541 Next time! ;) It is never a perfect translation.
