1, indeed, Shaolin and Wudang collaborate a lot, some of the proteges learnt swordsmanship which is the most essential KungFu of Wudang and then go to Shaolin studying Qigong(breathing exercise and technique) which internally could support the attack to be more powerful and skillful.
Rather than turbo-attack, Ba Guazhang and Tai Chi Chuan are some kind of healthy and leisurely exercise which are popular to the aged people.
2, it’s free to choose or change religion here, no matter you’re communist or not. However, the youngster(new generation born after 1970s) lost their religion duo to it was frequently utilized by governments in the history as means of mind control.

The Buddhist Arts have as their Foundation Training a Hard form of Qigong.
These arts begin external training, which emphasizes muscle development.
Taoist Arts practice Soft Qigong.
They are MARTIAL ARTS and not flowery movements geared towards health. The great development of health they achieve is a by-product of the type of training they do.

Kung Fu is just a generic term used to describe all Chinese MAs. Senei Scandal basically broke it down for u. Those are the 2 main branches of Chinese MAs. There are also MA with other roots such as Muslim roots depending on the outside influences and locations.
No people in Communist China dont have the right to freely practice religion unless its a government sanctioned religion. The Chinese government tightly controls many aspects of the lives of its citizens. The Chinese government does loosen its grip and does grant their citizens freedoms over time and as they see fit.
