Is it true that in ancient times there were flying martial arts?

Every one of us has probably watched martial arts dramas, and we all know the kind of light power that comes and goes without a trace. The term "flying over the wall" comes from the classic novel "Water Margin".

It also refers to the practice of martial arts personal light and convenient, can walk on the eaves and walls as flying. Wuxia novels are to describe the martial arts of people, able to jump room on the tile over the wall, and one of the most used legend is one of the Shaolin Temple seventy-two stunts.

Lightweight is our traditional Chinese martial arts a real existence of the work, the practice of lightweight does not make the body lighter, but can greatly improve the ability to run and jump, can make the body stand and action. But can not bear the weight of the object above and luck to lift the breath borrowed light objects to fly in the air, is considered to belong to the martial arts category of art class.

The method of practicing light kung fu is very complicated, and home hard, but also not easy to practice. But for martial arts masters, for generations of martial arts masters, are very important to the practice of light work. Like our country is more representative of the characters, Swallow Li San, Wan Lai Sheng, Chen Shi Xing and so on. In martial arts, it is mainly presented in Wudang, Emei, Shaolin and folk traditions. Alias is also called water floating, step on the snow without trace, walking wall kung fu.

And the ancient lightweight power is indeed recorded, but not as exaggerated as in martial arts dramas, fantasy novels, and TV dramas. Listen to the old-timers and some masters said, Qing Gong is a kind of focus on jumping training and running training of a kind of kung fu (similar to our today's high jump, long jump, pole vault). Practicing light kung fu, it is no problem to go up a square, two-story small building vertically. If you want to go over a high wall, you need to use a long distance running aid. More capable people can pick brick cracks, climbing buildings, climbing walls.

Personally, I think that in ancient times there was this kind of flying over the walls of capable people. There are actually records, and there are swallows Li San this kind of chivalrous thief record. It shows that this kind of kung fu is not fictional, and in Henan Songshan Shaolin Temple inside also have this kind of work study.

It's just that unlike martial arts dramas, it's too fake to be realistic. We just have to think about the troops, those who do all kinds of training soldiers, they also have to climb all kinds of obstacles, all kinds of training subjects. Including, similar to our flying wall this kind of subject.

All in all, the world is so big that there is nothing strange, nothing can be done. There are capable people all over the world, and we'd rather believe what we know than what we don't.
