Martial Art Practices

There are two parts to the Martial Arts training in the Chanquanshu schools.

Part 1. Quanshu covers the area that would roughly correspond to the training of gongfu (kungfu). Training is ‘external’ in the early stages but then gradually transforms into ‘internal’.

Part 2. Taijiquan was originally only included in the Quanshu area, but due to its popularity as a health exercise it has now become an entity in its own right and has two branches, one for its health benefits, and the other for its martial purposes.
