The White Crane Fist is a style that was developed by combining the animated imitation of the "Crane" and the "martial arts" concepts.

 

本文依據中國武術功、法（形）的技擊本質，歸結出外顯可見與內斂不可見之形氣神的身體現象，研究架構如圖三所示：

This text was based on the skilled sparring on the Chinese martial arts Kung(cultivation) and Fa(form) essential basics. Finalized something that one may see the body phenomena of the Form, Chi, and Shen externally but not internally. The research configuration is shown in Diagram 3.
