Wudang Taiyi Five Element Boxing

Originally given the name of Wudang Taiyi Five Element Capture 23 Posture Form Set. It was until in 1980 when a Kung Fu demonstrator called Jin Da Tao showcased the arts that it became to be popular gredually. By Jin Da Tao's account, in 1929 he went ot Purple Heaven Palace and studied the art 7 months with then Taoist Priest Li He Lin. By Li He Lin's words, this form set was created by Zhan Shou Xing (1488 - 1504) in Ming Dynasty who incorporated breathing, DaoYin and boxing together based upon Tai Chi 13 Postures.

This Kung Fu form set well accords to the five element theory, especially the generating and controling relationship. It focuses upon both the health preservation and boxing application together, pay attention upon the mind-will deployment rather than the force using. It can unconsciously melt the upcoming force and find the weakness point exposed in the process and take hold of the opponent in an hidden way. Stillness and motion are well weaven into together to form an integrity. Breathing and mind are combined together as like the flowing water and flying cloud, presenting intangible circumstance into which opponents can not peer into. The main feature are as follow: hand postures are soft and thread, the stump stance steady, two arms holding in a circle, foot stance in circular form, movements mtianyiwuxingquanore like the snake walking through grass, all postures connected tight without apparent gap.
