According to legend, Zhang San-Feng also known asZhang Jun-Bao, was born East of Liaoning Province at the end of Song Dynasty.
It is said that he lived on earth for over 300 years before his death. However, many people truly believe that Zhang San-Feng is living as an immortal on earth.
Zhang San-Feng fathered Wudang Internal Kungfu. It has been passed on from generation to generation, Master to disciple. In addition to Wudang internal Kungfu, Zhang San-Feng is known as the creator of Taiji.
Wudang Mountain is home to the most traditional internal forms of Taiji & Internal Kungfu. Other internal forms such as Xingyi, Baxian, Baji & Xuangong were brought to Wudang Mountain generations after the orignal form was developed & continue to be practiced to this day.
