THE HERMETIC TRADITION OF Natural Beating
Wudang Natural Beating (Ziran Shenda) is a legendary internal combat system that remained hidden within the folk traditions of the Wudang Mountains for centuries. It was preserved by reclusive hermits and Taoist practitioners who lived far from the public eye. In the 1990s, this secretive art was transmitted to Master Yue Wu by a Wudang hermit, a master of extraordinary skill. Historically, this system was only taught to those of 'good morality,' ensuring that its potent combat techniques were used responsibly. Although it is less known to the general public, it is highly famous within the 'Jianghu' (martial arts world) for its efficiency and unique approach to internal power. This DVD represents one of the first times this complete system has been documented for the public, preserving a vital piece of Wudang's combat heritage.
THE THREE CORE COMPONENTS
The Natural Beating system is divided into three distinct but integrated components: 1. One Line Fist (Yi Zi Quan), which focuses on linear, penetrating power and direct striking; 2. Heart and Mind Elbow (Xin Yi Zhou), which utilizes the body's 'short power' and devastating elbow strikes for close-quarters combat; and 3. Natural Beating (Ziran Shenda), the fluid integration of all techniques into a spontaneous and adaptive fighting style. Together, these components form a complete Technical Routine that covers all ranges of combat. The 'Natural' aspect refers to the goal of making these movements as instinctive as breathing, allowing the practitioner to respond to any attack without hesitation or premeditated thought.
COMBAT BIOMECHANICS AND UNPREDICTABILITY
The hallmark of Natural Beating is its 'strange' and 'unpredictable' movements. Unlike many standardized martial arts, Shenda utilizes angles and trajectories that are counter-intuitive to most opponents. Biomechanically, it relies on 'Explosive Power' (Fa-Jin) generated through the sudden contraction and expansion of the internal structure. The strikes are 'weird' because they often originate from relaxed, non-telegraphic positions, making them extremely difficult to block or evade. The system teaches the practitioner how to use the entire body as a weapon, emphasizing the 'Heart and Mind' connection to ensure that every strike is backed by the practitioner's full intent and physical mass. This results in a combat style that is both highly efficient and biologically optimized for maximum impact.
TRAINING AND MASTERY
The training for Natural Beating is structured as a 'complete cycle,' designed to transform the practitioner's physical and mental state. It begins with the cultivation of internal strength and progresses to the application of specific招法 (techniques). Practicing this art provides a lifetime of benefits, particularly in the realm of internal combat application and self-defense. Master Yue Wu provides a rigorous breakdown of the training methods, ensuring that the 'Natural' essence of the art is not lost in translation. This DVD is an essential resource for serious martial artists who wish to explore the deeper, more practical side of Wudang internal boxing. By following this curriculum, students can gain a profound understanding of how Taoist principles of spontaneity and naturalness are applied to the high-stakes environment of real-world combat.

Vice President of the Wudang Martial Arts Federation
Yue Wu is a prominent martial arts practitioner and organizer who serves as the Vice President of the Wudang Martial Arts Federation. Based in the Wudang Mountains, he has spent years acting as a bridge between the traditional monastic community and the global martial arts public. He is recognized for his efforts in managing international exchanges and for his role in the administrative development of Wudang’s cultural presence.
Martial Arts Background: Integration of Wudang Internal Arts
Yue Wu’s background is rooted in the internal systems of Wudang Mountain, focusing on the integration of physical health and self-defense. His training includes the foundational Tai Chi, Baguazhang, and Xingyiquan lineages, alongside the specific internal cultivation methods native to the Wudang Sanfeng tradition. His practice emphasizes the coordination of internal intent with external movement, a hallmark of the Taoist Martial Arts systems he has studied under various local masters.
Legacy and Contribution: International Exchange and Coordination
In his capacity as Vice President of the Federation, Yue Wu has been instrumental in organizing large-scale martial arts festivals and international seminars. He has focused on making Wudang’s often-secluded traditions more accessible to practitioners from outside the region. By coordinating exchange programs and welcoming international delegations, he has helped establish a structured platform for the global study of Wudang internal arts, ensuring the lineage's techniques are shared and preserved across borders.
Artistic Style: Fluid Continuity and Natural Mechanics
His style is characterized by the fluid and circular mechanics central to the Wudang tradition. Eschewing rigid or jerky movements, his practice focuses on the continuous flow of energy and the natural alignment of the body. In his demonstrations, one can observe a focus on "silk-reeling" power and the use of soft, redirecting force. His approach reflects a commitment to the practical health benefits of the art, prioritizing relaxed efficiency and structural poise over athletic display.
