For example, foreign boxing methods such as Chaquan, Bajiquan and Shaolin Changquan pay attention to strengthening the body and increasing strength. In the process of practice, people's muscles will still develop and thicken because of exercise. As for beauty, it depends on everyone's own aesthetic view.

Some methods and techniques of Neijia Boxing, such as Tai Ji Chuan, Yijinjing and Yoga, pay more attention to the flexibility, coordination and balance of the body. The practice of these techniques has little effect on the original muscle shape of the body, and can also play a role in shaping the body for flexibility training.
