Eight Immortals Staff is a more poetic style. The Eight Immortals are legendary characters in Chinese/Daoist literature. Each one is a regular human who undergoes a journey of self cultivation that brings them to becoming immortal. Each one has their own unique story and personality. This staff form encompasses some of the feelings of them, from the scholar wielding his sword to the student burning incense, from going fishing to drinking alcohol, and from tending the farm to traveling across the ocean. Each movement is part of their story.

Staff is a special weapon in all martial arts as it is a fundamental weapon. One that opens the door for other weapons training. Although it is not merely a stepping stone to more advanced forms. Rather staff is a complete practice on its own. The Wudang staff form is especially unique in that the movements cover a broader range of techniques. There are long and short movements, sweeps, balancing moves, smashing, pushing, defending, and much more.
Special thanks to Doline Charmillot and John Abercrombie for all of the filming! Filmed at 回龙观 in Wudang.
