Video: Striking poses of true Emei kungfu master

(People's Daily Online)    16:35, September 14, 2016

 

Li Wanfeng, chief coach at Emei Martial Arts Development Center, leads about 30 of his disciples in practicing Tai Chi at the foot of Mount Emei, one of the Four Sacred Buddhist Mountains of China in Southwest China’s Sichuan province, on Sept. 12. 

Mount Emei is home to many expert martial arts practitioners, with a wide range of kung fu styles even said to have originated from the mountain. Sources from the 16th and 17th centuries allude to the practice of martial arts in the monasteries of Mount Emei, including the earliest extant reference of the Shaolin Monastery as the place of origin of Chinese boxing.
