Meet a young martial artist in the making: Li Weimu, a 14-year-old boy who is on a quest to become a disciple in the Wudang Mountains, known as the center for Wudang kung fu and a renowned Taoist sanctuary. Many young kids gathered here to train and inherit the ancient Chinese martial arts. Growing up with a martial arts practitioner father, Li Weimu got a taste of the beauty of Wudang kung fu from an early age and made up his mind to seek and learn the art from a master. With his natural talent and unwavering dedication, he’s been practicing diligently for three years and has grasped the skill sets needed for Tai Chi and the horsetail whisk.
