Chinese boxing system that combines the techniques of attack and defence of Wushu such as kicing, striking, throwing, leaping and somersaulting, quick response, nimbleness and activeness, characteristic of the Monkey.
"He leaps and turns quick as the whirlwind,
He hides and dodges as if the thick woods.
He's alert and nimble with a relaxed body,
'Mid dangers and hardships he's all at home.
He plucks celestial peaches like doing more routines,
He sees in all directions and is quick to hide himself,
He shows litheness in grasping, striking, hooking and hanging,
The diving skills of Monkey Style are held in high esteem."
Constant practice, besides cultivating interest, increases the body's resistance to disease and prolongs life. It will have good effect on the body's metabolic process if the several dozen principal movements of the Monkey Style sequence are performed at one go, lasting no more than a few minutes, with no loss of breath or change of colour.
