Xuan Wu Boxing
It is also called Two Modes Boxing, which comes from the saying, “the coordination of yin and yang gives birth to Tai Chi, and the separation of the two leads to Two Modes.” In this boxing, the advantages of “yin” and “yang” can both be felt. Some of the movements are rather swift, while some are relatively slow; some are hard while some are quite soft. This is why we call it “ Two Modes”. It is a kind of Kung fu which can be used to practice hands, eyes, body, basic work as well as mixed strength (explosive force and bouncing ability). When practice it, the practitioner moves as quickly as lightning and as loudly as thunder. It has the function of striking later but controlling the upper side first, thus it is considered as a must for learners to study Kung fu of Tai Chi School.
