How it's used
Practitioners often emphasize the concept of center line theory, which is central to the style. It is frequently associated with the wooden dummy, known as 木人樁, which is used for training precision and structure. Unlike some other martial arts that rely on wide, sweeping movements, this style focuses on efficiency and close range combat.
