Wudangquan (Chinese: 武當拳; pinyin: Wǔdāngquán) is a class of Chinese martial arts. In contemporary China, Chinese martial arts styles are generally classified into two major groups: Wudang (Wutang), named after the Wudang Mountains ; and Shaolin , named after the Shaolin Monastery .
Styles considered to belong to the latter group—called Wudangquan—are those with a strong element of Taoist neidan exercises.
