Emei Martial Arts is a traditional form of martial arts commonly practiced in China. It combines the use of cudgel, broadsword and many other weapons, including the renowned Emei Sword, which was developed during the Spring and Autumn period (770-476 B.C.) and improved during the Warring States period (475-221 B.C.). A Taoist monk named Situ Xuankong invented the swordsmanship based on the flight pattern of birds and movements of other wild beasts.
