Jake Pinnick's deep and long-standing fascination with Eastern culture led him on a fantastic journey from his native United States to Wudang Mountain in the Chinese mainland. Immersing himself completely in the study of Wudang martial arts, Jake drew spiritual nourishment from ancient Daoist wisdom.
Over the course of years, his transformation was complete: the novice martial arts enthusiast became the inheritor of an entire tradition. With the mantle now around his shoulders, Jake is considering how to pass on the Wudang tradition and share traditional Chinese Daoist philosophy with people from all around the world.
