From ancient times to the present, secret teachings have been passed down within the Taoist temple.

Wudang Chunyang Fist is an internal martial art of Taoism that focuses on health preservation, physical fitness, and defense against enemies. Its first priority is self-cultivation and character building, and its second priority is the “Three Victories and Five Harmony”.
The Three Victories, namely Hand Victory, Body Victory, and Step Victory; Five in one, heart and intention in one, intention and qi in one, qi and force in one, force and potential in one, and potential in one. Having three victories and five combinations, one can gain the power to respond to their hand.
Wudang Chunyang Fist emphasizes the principle of “three circles, six parts, and nine characters returning to one”.
Three circles: wearing connected hand circles, bending leg steps circles, and rotating waist circles.
Six major joints: shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, ankle.
Nine characters: The walking of the fist in the frame reflects “heart, intention, qi, strength, movement, liveliness, heaviness, softness, and spirit”.
