Want to buy "the kung fu dragons of wudang" video or dvd issued by national geography. cannot get it anywhere
sorry bout that
Reply:Yeah that was really amazing programme, but i don't think that it was a film, its actually a documentary on kung fu. There is a real place called Wudang where Kung fu is taught(even today). Not sure where it is geographically situated, but it is in Asia(somewhere near Malaysia or Thailand) .Search through Google probably you can find more information on that place. or else try to contact the National Geographic channel people they may help you(visit the official site of the channel). .








(Here im providing some useful information on 'Wudang'





The Wudang Mountains (Simplified Chinese: 武当山; Traditional Chinese: 武當山; pinyin: Wǔdāng Shān), also known as Wu Tang Shan or simply Wudang, are a small mountain range in the Hubei province of China, just to the south of the manufacturing city of Shiyan.





The Wudang monasteries figure prominently in Chinese martial arts films, especially the genre known as wuxia film and popular literature. For example, an ending scene of the famous movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon by Taiwanese director Ang Lee was set at the Wudang monastery, although not actually filmed there. In some wuxia films about the Shaolin Temple, characters employing Wudang martial arts are featured as villains. It is in reference to this type of film that the American hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan named themselves. In many martial arts movies, however, actors portraying Wudang practitioners are also found in heroic or neutral supporting roles. For more information visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wudang.


All the best.
