Wudang Sect

The sect was founded in the 13th century during the Yuan dynasty by Zhang Sanfeng, who was an apprentice of Jueyuan, a Shaolin monk. Zhang Sanfeng took seven young men as his apprentices, and they later became known as the "Seven Heroes of Wudang". The seven are responsible for spreading Wudang's name through their prowess in martial arts, exemplary conduct, and deeds of gallantry. In the novel, Wudang is led by Chongxu. == Martial arts ==

The Wudang Sect's martial arts have their origins in the Shaolin Sect even though they are more associated with Taoism than with Buddhism. They revolve around the concept of taiji, as evident from the skills named after the concept, such as taijiquan and taijijian. They also focus on the use of "soft and gentle" techniques to overcome opponents who rely on brute strength and force. == See also ==
