Is there any boxing in China that imitates apes?

Tongbei Boxing in our country is imitated by apes.

Tongbei Boxing, also known as Tongbei Boxing, is a traditional boxing method in China, which emphasizes the use of the ape's back or arm, so it is also called Tongbei Boxing. China Wushu has a long history, and many of its boxing methods are quite distinctive. One boxing method is particularly eye-catching, and that is the "Long-arm Boxing" created by imitating the long arm of an ape.

Long-arm boxing, as its name implies, is a boxing created by imitating the long-arm movements of apes. This kind of boxing focuses on training arm strength through various postures and practice methods. The muscles and bones of the arm are exercised and optimized, thus enhancing the strength and sensitivity of boxing.

Color development method

The origin of Long-arm Boxing can be traced back to Fujian Province in the south of China, and it is one of the schools of southern Shaolin Wushu in Fujian. It is said that a monk from Shaolin Temple traveled to Fujian, and after observing the actions of local apes, he was inspired to create this kind of boxing. In fact, the emergence of long-arm boxing is not accidental. It is the product of continuous exploration, innovation and accumulation by martial artists in the development of China Wushu.

Long arm boxing has gradually formed its own unique routines and moves in the development process. Its moves are changeable, sensitive, rigid and flexible, paying attention to leveraging strength, flexible posture and brisk movements. At the same time, Long-arm Boxing emphasizes both internal and external cultivation, which not only pays attention to physical training, but also pays attention to cultivating spiritual strength and meditation. Therefore, Long-arm Boxing not only requires high skills in martial arts, but also has strict standards in moral cultivation.
