THE ART OF CLOSE-RANGE ADHERENCE
Wudang Cling Hands and Turn Over (Zhan Shou Fan) is a specialized combat system within the Wudang internal martial arts that focuses on the intricacies of close-quarters engagement. In the Wudang tradition, 'Clinging' is not just a physical act but a sophisticated tactical principle. This system embodies the core philosophy of Neijiaquan (Internal Boxing): 'Subduing the opponent with stillness,' 'Moving last but arriving first,' and 'Borrowing force to strike with force.' As presented by Master Yue Wu, the 23rd generation successor of the Chunyang School, this DVD offers a deep dive into the unique grappling and redirection methods that define Wudang's approach to self-defense. It is a system designed for practitioners who wish to move beyond long-range striking into the subtle world of internal grappling.
TECHNICAL PRINCIPLES AND BIOMECHANICS
The system is built upon four primary technical pillars: 1. Clinging Hands (Zhan Shou), which maintains constant contact to sense the opponent's intent; 2. Scrolling Arms (Juan Bi), which uses circular motions to trap and redirect the opponent's limbs; 3. Bundling Shoulders (Kun Jian), which controls the opponent's upper body structure; and 4. Locking Legs (Suo Tui), which disrupts the opponent's base and balance. Biomechanically, the routine emphasizes 'Softening Hard Power' (Rou Hua Gang Fa). Instead of meeting force with force, the practitioner uses 'Spiraling Power' and 'Adhere and Follow' (Zhan Nian Lian Sui) to stick to the opponent, neutralizing their momentum before delivering a decisive counter-strike. This requires a high degree of sensitivity and the ability to maintain a relaxed yet powerful internal structure.
TACTICAL UTILITY AND DISMANTLING ATTACKS
This DVD focuses on the practical application of single-form techniques (Dan Shi) and their 'dismantling' (Chai Zhao) in real combat scenarios. Master Yue Wu demonstrates how to take a complex attack and neutralize it through simple, efficient movements. The 'Turn Over' aspect of the system refers to the sudden transition from defense to offense, often involving a throw or a joint lock that utilizes the opponent's own energy. This is a 'short cut' for martial arts enthusiasts to improve their close-range defense capabilities, providing a clear methodology for mastering the 'Adhere and Follow' principles that are often discussed but rarely understood in depth. The training emphasizes the 'Internal Alchemy' of combat—using the mind to lead the Qi and the Qi to lead the body.
CULTURAL HERITAGE AND MASTERY
The Wudang Cling Hands and Turn Over system is a testament to the rich and diverse heritage of the Wudang Mountains. It represents the 'substantial and special' nature of the Chunyang Lineage, where every movement has a clear martial purpose. Master Yue Wu's instruction is grounded in decades of experience and historical research, ensuring that the techniques are presented with both technical rigor and cultural authenticity. This DVD is an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand the 'internal' side of Chinese grappling and the sophisticated biomechanics of Wudang Kung Fu. By mastering these techniques, students gain a profound understanding of how to remain calm and effective in the high-pressure environment of close-range combat, achieving a true integration of body, mind, and spirit.
