Wudang boxing belongs to wudang boxing, a family-run boxing, which comes from Taoism.
Xiaohong Boxing is the basic boxing method of Shaolin Boxing, which is very representative, including relatively complete hands, feet, body, eyes and footwork. Small and exquisite shape, compact rhythm, rich and simple technique, always in the first line, highlighting all the characteristics of Shaolin boxing.
Wudang boxing, on the other hand, aims at self-cultivation, takes attack and defense as an excuse, takes "internal strength and external strength" as the noumenon feature, and takes the combination of static and dynamic, alternation of reality and reality, combination of rigidity and flexibility, and turning in circles as the form of expression.
Wudang boxing is characterized by paying equal attention to both martial arts and health preservation, and integrating health preservation into martial arts. This is different from Shaolin boxing, which is a Buddhist boxing school and emphasizes martial arts. Wudang boxing has few jumps and low steps. Multi-purpose palm, related to focusing on structure; Less jumping is related to concentrated practice; Low step type is related to emphasizing grasping; Walking in circles is related to paying attention to the falling method, which forms wudang boxing's unique style.
Shaolin boxing pays more attention to refining fine bones and skin outside, and refining one breath inside. Strong action, with strength and speed to defeat the enemy, take the initiative to attack, sharp-edged. Wudang boxing, on the other hand, emphasized internal strength training, stressing static braking, combining rigidity with softness, winning with short, taking slow as fast, being lucky, full of energy, combining femininity with softness, controlling breathing and using short hands. Wudang martial arts is not the main attack, but it cannot be easily violated. If you commit a crime, you will become a servant.
Shaolin Boxing is mostly straight boxing, while wudang boxing's technique is mainly drilling, with more palms and less punches. Therefore, it is more logical when making moves, and it is used for four or two kilograms. Because Taoist priests live a quiet life, the purpose of practicing wudang boxing is self-defense. You are not allowed to start work unless there is an emergency. Once you start, you will be both rigid and flexible, both rigid and flexible, and both soft and hard, which is very powerful.
There are more than 60 kinds of Wu Tangmen boxing that have been handed down so far. When you say wudang boxing, you may mean simplifying wudang boxing. This kind of boxing has passed the appraisal of Hubei Science and Technology Commission, which makes Wudang Wushu with many sects and rich contents have its own simplified routine for the first time, which is more suitable for people's health, fitness and self-defense, and expands the adaptability of people's practice.
