In order to get in touch with Shaolin Wushu, you need to practice hard and soft skills in addition to boxing and weapons. Boxing weapons are applied movements, and hard and soft kung fu are the basis of boxing weapons, so boxers are better at kung fu than fine boxing equipment. Kung fu can be divided into four types, including soft work, hard work, internal work and external work. Soft skills are mostly yin hands, hard skills are mostly killers, internal skills pay more attention to practicing qi, and external skills pay more attention to practicing strength. It is more difficult to practice soft skills. After the success of the practice, it is obvious that there is no difference at first. If a person who is good at this skill hits it with his fist, if he fails, he can't damage his hair. The way to be feminine is to be soft and firm, so it is called soft and strong yin technique. It is easier to practice hard. After practice, if you hit with a gun and a knife, you rarely come out without recoil, or hit a few hundred pounds of boulder, cross your arms, and lie on the nail board, so that people can hit it with a hammer. The stone was broken, but no one was hurt. This hard work is amazing. Hard work is the way of masculinity, so it is called hard work.
