"Research on Shaolin Martial Arts and Taijiquan in Relation to Internal Martial Arts" offers an in-depth examination of the origins, development, and connections between Shaolin martial arts, Taijiquan, and internal martial arts practices. This comprehensive study delves into the historical roots of martial arts, with a focus on the techniques and philosophies that bridge the Shaolin external styles and the internal traditions of Taijiquan, Xingyiquan, and Baguazhang. Drawing from classical texts, historical accounts, and martial arts legends, this book explores key figures, lineages, and regional influences that shaped these martial arts over centuries.

Through the lens of internal and external dichotomies, the book highlights the unique methodologies of internal martial arts, such as cultivating internal energy (qi) and using softness to overcome hardness, in contrast with the more physically robust Shaolin forms. This research not only covers technical aspects but also touches on the philosophical and cultural dimensions of martial arts training. Whether you are a martial artist, historian, or enthusiast, this book provides valuable insights into the enduring influence of Shaolin and Taijiquan within the broader landscape of Chinese martial traditions.
