For development of Wudang Kungfu ,the Wudang Taoism Association (WTA) made a decision after series of research in the year of 1989 to appoint master Zhong Yunlong and his master Guo Gao-yi (deceased) to found the Wudang Taoist Kungfu Academy (WTKFA). It was the first step for Wudang Kungfu to open to the outside. In the beginning the students lived and practiced kungfu inside of the Zixiao temple (WTA). When more and more students came to study, they moved to a bigger place near the Zixiao temple. WTKFA has taken part in wushu communication and contests in China and abroad many times, and has received a lot of national leaders and international friends such as Chairman Jiang Zeming, Commissioner Qiao shi, Li Lanqing, LiRuihuan, Li Tieyin among others.
