B4. Wudang Qixing Sword
elementary: 4 months; intermediate: 2 months
This is an ancient swordsmanship which has a long history. Due to the argument on its origin and heritage, it has once disappeared. Like floating cloud and flowing water, this swordsmanship is the combination of softness and hardness. It poses like a running dragon in fast and slow paces. The unconventional movement possesses natural grace mixing the sword together with the practitioner. It is quiet like breeze staining with nothing and acting like dragon soaring into the space. It also signifies the union of man and sword. It fully performs the nimbleness and elegancy of Wudang swordsmanship and the martial arts’ characteristic of collecting force for striking from the inner strength. Practicing this swordsmanship engages the practitioner to become vigorous, agile, and healthy.
