Who is the most famous martial artist in China nowadays

1. Hua Tuo. According to historical records, Hua Tuo's "Five Animal Play" is the earliest martial arts routine in China so far, thus some people also call him the founder of Chinese martial arts.

2. Yue Fei. A famous general of the Southern Song Dynasty who fought against the Jin Dynasty. Although in recent years some historians have raised doubts about Yue Fei is the founder of Xingyiquan, but Yue Fei since childhood to worship fellow townsmen Zhou Dong as a teacher, and from a soldier quickly grew into an anti-Golden general, his martial arts can be imagined, and the troops trained by him was the most powerful of the four anti-Golden teams in the Southern Song Dynasty.

3. Zhang Sanfeng. The founder of Wudang martial arts, once fought off nearly 100 bandits by himself. Zhu Yuanzhang, the great-grandfather of Ming Dynasty, once invited him to join the court as an official, but he refused, he would rather go to Wudang Mountain to be a Taoist priest. In recent years, some movie and television productions have called him the founder of taijiquan is completely wrong.

4. Chen Wangting. A general of the Ming Dynasty, a native of Chenjiagou, Wen County, Henan Province, and the founder of Chen-style Taijiquan, as well as the founder of Taijiquan.

5. Qi Jiguang. Qi Jiguang was a famous anti-Japanese general, author of many books on martial arts, and Yu Dayou and other famous generals under his command were also famous martial artists at that time, and the troops he trained made the Japanese invaders fearful of them.

6. Zhang Songxi. Shaolin and Wudang are the two major schools of martial arts in China, and it is commonly believed that Wudang is superior to Shaolin, which is due to Zhang Songxi. Wudang and Shaolin only one time in the history of the fight, Zhang Songxi against a number of Shaolin monks, won by absolute advantage.

7. Wing Chun. Although there is not a lot of historical records about Wing Chun, being a woman who created a style that would be known to the world hundreds of years later is the reason I included her.

8. Gan Fengchi. A famous martial artist from the early Qing Dynasty. I listed him not only because of his superior martial arts skills and the martial arts writings that have been passed down to the world, but also because of his chivalrous behavior and celebrated martial arts virtues.

9. Yang Luchan. Founder of Yang's Taijiquan.

10. Dong Haichuan. Founder of Bagua Palm.

As for Fang Shiyu, although there are history books, but in addition to the death of Lei Tiger in no record. Whether Fang Shiyu was among the five who escaped from the Southern Shaolin and whether he died at the hands of the five masters is an unsolved mystery. There is also the legend of his senior brother Hong Xiguan, although some people say that he is the founder of the Hung Gar Fist, but there is no such person in the history books. And both of them were only somewhat famous in the two regions at that time, so they were not listed among them.

This time, unlike the post three years ago, I took out Wang Lang, the founder of Mantis Fist, and added Wing Chun, partly out of respect for women, and partly because in recent years Wing Chun has become popular in the southern region, with nearly 10,000 people learning Wing Chun all over the world.

Chinese contemporary martial artists more, at least look at those who are members of the Chinese Wushu Association can be, or martial arts paragraph high people are good

Since the nineteenth century, the Chinese traditional martial arts has experienced a peak, trough and differentiation. This period emerged a large number of martial artist groups and outstanding representatives. And three major systems of Xingyi, Bagua and Taiji were formed, as well as the Taoist martial arts system based on these three systems. At the same time, it also formed the system of Tongbei Wushu, which is based on Ba Ji and Pi Hang, and combines the traditional Wushu with modern boxing and sword-splitting, as well as the modern art of Sanshou. They produced such epoch-making giants as Dong Haichuan, Li Nengran, Yang Luchan, Wu Yuxiang, and Sun Lutang, as well as such outstanding martial artists as Ma Fengtu, Zhu Guofu, Sun Cunzhou, Zheng Huaixian, and Li Xiaolong, who had the courage to practise, be creative, and make remarkable achievements in the time of intense cultural conflicts and social upheavals. This article attempts to reflect the general appearance and direction of martial arts culture since the nineteenth century by introducing the achievements of these ten martial artists.
