Wuzuquan in the context of Fujian White Crane

Five Ancestor Boxing (Wuzuquan or Ngo-cho Kun) is a Southern Chinese martial art that consists of principles and techniques from five styles:

• the breathing methods and iron body of Bodhidharma (達尊拳)
• the posture and dynamic power of Luohan (羅漢拳)
• the precision and efficient movement of Emperor Taizu (太祖拳)
• the hand techniques and the complementary softness and hardness of Fujian White Crane (白鶴拳)
• the agility and footwork of Monkey (猴拳)

These five styles and their characteristic techniques were combined during the creation of the Five Ancestor System. They were consolidated by a sixth influence, Xuan Nu, also known as Hian Loo (玄女拳) and "The Lady in the Green Dress", who introduced the most deadly of its techniques, Dim Mak—lethal strikes to the pressure points of the body.
