SPARK: From Jin Yong's pages to reality — The real art of Emei Sect

For many, the Emei Sect evokes the legendary swordswomen of Jin Yong's wuxia epics. Yet its true origins trace back even further - founded by Grandmaster Situ Xuankong.

But what does authentic Emei Kung Fu really look like? We invited trained practitioners to demonstrate its essence: from the piercing precision of the Phoenix Eye Fist to the fluid mastery of Emei piercers. These are not just techniques - they're a living testament to China's martial heritage.

Want to recreate the dazzling poses from classic wuxia films? Eager to master the fluid "Spinning Thrust" technique?

In the final segment of the video, we break down these moves in detailed slow motion - easy to learn, authentic in form - so you can grasp the essence of traditional martial arts with ease.
