Which martial arts in Jin Yong's novels really existed in history?

Jin Yong's martial arts novels are full of imagination, which creates a strange martial arts world for us. Although many martial arts are fictional, many characters do not exist in history. But some martial arts may still be true, not entirely created by the author.

In Jin Yong's novels, Emei sent by Wu Tang School appears in the story of leaning on heaven to slay dragons, all of which have appeared in the history of China. Zhang Sanfeng, the head of Wudang, is also a real person in history, and is indeed related to Tai Ji Chuan. In real life, Tai Ji Chuan may not be able to defeat the enemy, but Chinese martial arts treasures can strengthen the body and prolong life.

Secondly, Emei School also exists in reality. There is a weapon in China Wushu called Emei Sting, which is light in appearance and very beneficial for women to use. If used in close combat, it is also very lethal.

Shaolin Temple, a sect of Shaolin, also exists in reality. Shaolin boxing and Shaolin footwork are also real martial arts, and many people are still learning them. They are not completely fictional.

In addition, an indispensable martial art in martial arts novels is lightness skill. According to legend, you can fly over the eaves and walk over the wall, and you won't die if you jump off a cliff. In fact, this is of course impossible.

In fact, although lightness skill does not exist, it is a beautiful dream for human beings to fly and the sky, but practicing martial arts from an early age and exercising for a long time can really make the body lighter, bounce better and have stronger physical fitness. I once watched a TV program. Specially trained special forces and people who have studied martial arts since childhood can easily put down a three-meter-high fence. Maybe this is the lightness skill in reality.
