Product Description | 产品描述

The "Southern Family Taizu Fist" is a traditional martial arts style attributed to Emperor Zhao Kuangyin, the founder of the Song Dynasty. Due to its widespread practice, the style has evolved into various branches with distinct characteristics. It was later introduced to the Southern Shaolin Temple, where it adopted the unique traits of Southern Fist, earning the name "Southern Family Taizu Fist."

This martial art emphasizes a combination of long-range punches and short-range strikes, with movements that are powerful, coordinated, and fluid. The style is known for its explosive power, firm stances, and the balance of hard and soft techniques.

The VCD is divided into three main sections:

1. Training Methods: Includes exercises such as punching into river mud and full-body resistance training, which develop the integration of long and short techniques. The movements emphasize coordination of the shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, and knees.
2. Routine Practice: Features a series of movements that are fierce, dynamic, and full of masculine energy, showcasing the beauty of strength and precision.
3. Combat Applications: Focuses on practical techniques with stable and agile footwork, rooted stances, and explosive power. The techniques combine hardness with flexibility, utilizing spring-like energy and vocalizations to enhance force and intimidate opponents.

The martial arts manual poetically describes its essence:
“The body crouches like a cat, shakes like a tiger, moves like a swimming dragon, and strikes like lightning.”
“囚身似猫，抖身如虎，行似游龙，动如闪电.”
