Shaolin Kungfu

Shaolin Kungfu, also known as Shaolin Wushu, is one of the famous schools of martial arts in China. With its long history and wide influence, it is an important part of traditional Chinese martial arts. The most prominent feature of Shaolin Kung Fu is "Zen and martial arts unity", that is, Zen into martial arts, martial arts practice Zen, so also known as "martial arts Zen".

Shaolin Kung Fu was entered into the National Intangible Cultural Heritage List in 2006.

Shaolin Kung Fu main content

Shaolin Kung Fu is rich in content and many routines. According to the records of Shaolin Temple, there are 708 sets of Shaolin Wushu routines, including 552 sets of boxing and equipment routines, and 156 sets of 72 stunts, grappling, fighting, bone removal, pointing, qigong and other kinds of attacking routines.

The Shaolin Kung Fu mainly includes Shaolin Kongfu, Shaolin Wuhequan, Shaolin Kanjiaquan, Xingyi Zhu, Dahongquan, Xiaohongquan and so on; and it includes Songshan Shaolin Boxing, Southern Shaolin Boxing and Northern Shaolin Boxing and so on by the region.

Shaolin instruments mainly include Shaolin knives, guns, swords, sticks, nine-section whips, concealed weapons, rare weapons (tiger hooks, convenient shovels, Dharma staffs, ox-horn crutches, etc.) and so on.

Shaolin stunts, on the other hand, mainly include Sparring and Fighting, Shaolin Qigong, Shaolin Fighting Secrets, Shaolin Pointing Methods, Shaolin Takedown Methods, Shaolin Seventy-two Arts, Shaolin Longevity Methods, and Shaolin Injury Medicine.

The above is only the statistics on the scale of Songshan Shaolin Temple Wushu, if the South Shaolin Wushu and North Shaolin Wushu as well as the folk circulated routines are counted, I am afraid that the technical system of Shaolin Wushu is much richer.

The Shaolin kungfu system is best known for its stick skills. In the Ming Dynasty, Shaolin stick skills were already famous, and Qi Jiguang, Zheng Ruozeng, Cheng Zongyou, Mao Yuanyi, Wu Shu and others all gave them very high evaluations. For example, Qi Jiguang said in the discussion of martial arts schools: "Shaolin Temple stick and Qingtian stick method both, Yang's gun and Bazi boxing stick, are today's famous"; Zheng Ruozeng in the "Jiangnan Jingliu" recorded that the Ming Dynasty "thirty have a" Cheng Ruozeng, in his "Jiangnan Strategy", recorded that in the Ming Dynasty, there were "thirty-one" "stick-playing families", and mentioned "Shaolin stick-playing method"; Cheng Zongyou regarded Shaolin stick-playing method as "supreme Bodhi"; and Mao Yuanyi, in his military work "Wushu Zhizhi", believed that: Mao Yuanyi in his military work "martial arts" that: "all the arts in the stick, the stick in the Shaolin"; Ming and Qing Dynasty Wu Shu is the Shaolin stick as "stick family business".
