Like many styles in Zhangzhou Kaiyuan Boxing has inherited some of the extensive repertoire of the Gong Bu military camp system of weapon arts. However there are also a few weapons known to be passed down directly from the Kaiyuan temple as well.
The Kaiyuan temple lineage weapon sets are the Naobo "Cymbals" (cymbals were widely used in southern China for festivals, rituals, and martial demonstrations. As they were often carried in these charged crowded environments where fighting was common various martial lineages learned to use the cymbals, often sharpened on the edges, as weapons) Fangbian Chan "Convenient Shovel" AKA "Monk's Spade", and Damo Hu Shen Gun "Bodhidharma Self Defense Staff".
According to oral tradition this lineage of boxing was founded by famed 33rd generation Kaiyuan temple ascetic monk Qiao Yun in the late Ming dynasty.
(he built a small hut at the top of a mountain pass and spent the day giving tea to tired travelers and night studying the sutras, and presumably practicing boxing. As far as I'm concerned he sounds like a cool guy.)
The modern lineage can be traced back to the martial monks Bi Lang（1878~1949）and Fu Ming （1880~1940）who inherited the tradition from the senior teachers of the Tongyuan Shrine. From there the tradition was passed down to various students with lay monastic student Hong Changbo（1925~1992）being appointed the gate keeper of the next generation of Kaiyuan boxing.
Located in Longxi county in the Xiangcheng district of Zhangzhou prefecture, the Kaiyuan temple at it's peak was one of the largest temples in Fujian and was famed for it's collection of Tang and Song dynasty art. As the largest and one of the oldest temples in the region, the monks of Kaiyuan were known to preserve a wide variety of ancient traditional arts. However the temple was looted and burned by the Taiping army in 1864.
After the destruction of the temple many of the monks spread out into the many local subsidiary temples and shrines that were under the jurisdiction of Kaiyuan temple.
As a result of this there are a number of martial skills, medical skills and recipes, and performance arts such as cymbal and clay pot juggling, meteor hammer performance, staff juggling, and acrobatics that spread from the Kaiyuan temple after it's destruction to the smaller local temple, shrines, and hermitages in the area and in many cases from there to the local folk culture.
Today the main martial lineages of Kaiyuan temple trace to the Tongyuan Shrine where a number of Kaiyuan monks and lay monastics who were skilled in the traditional boxing and weapon arts of the temple had settled after the destruction of the main temple.
Most Kaiyuan Quan lineages trace to this shrine as does one of the main Da Zun Quan lineages of Zhangzhou.
Please read the complete video description for information on the style on this and all videos in my channel.
If you take your shoes off there is more rooting and allows you to connect the joints throughout the body more efficiently
@@TheGrmany69 I don't think a street fighter or mugger is gonna wait for you to take off your shoes...
Fantastic style
I have studied Chinese Martial Arts in the past. I appreciate your channel. Have you seen the persons featured in your videos apply the skills? Definitely provides insight to the many styles in China. Thank you. Will there be more videos in the future?
Looks interesting!
Very cool to finally read some info about the Kaiyuan Temple Wushu and to see some stuff from their seemingly extensive curriculuum. Many thanks and keep it coming !!!
I put up a few videos years ago. I think like a video of the tiger taming Luohan set and a video of a fork set and also the first of the three sections of the Gongbu system Qinglong Yueyan Dao set, the second section of which is the other Kaiyuan video I just put up.
Honestly though I've been meaning to do all of these for years now and I should have done the Kaiyuan video many years ago. While there is a lot more information available now than just a few years ago on most styles of martial arts the opposite seems to be true for Kaiyuan Quan.
There was some really detailed info on the origins and lineage of Kaiyuan Quan specifically on the relation of different monks and lay monastic students within the Tongyuan Miao and their different lines of Kaiyuan Quan and Da Zun Quan martial descendants.
Unfortunately where that was the page is now gone.

Not your average garden style of Kung Fu?

San Zhan Chuan rong Li Tang Tang shi
Cher men wo Jiang Chin keng xiong xa Zen xa Chin jing te Hai she wang
Ping kan se Chie huo San fen zi man man ghan
Ping wa Lao xue kan huan huan zhi su du huan ya Hai Yen Lao zai
Despite his abs, muscle, flexibility, he didn't get to put them to good use in this corrupted pattern. Not his fault but the master who corrupted kungfu pattern is to blame. 3rd & 4th patterns luohan tiger are more dynamic but again he's striking at wrong part, the blocks aren't complete coz he never tried this kungfu in sparring. The rest of the patterns were all downgraded to useless McDojo, unless the students defied the law and study it use it for fighting like me, forever they won't know what they're doing while corrupted masters would keep feeding them mythical moves.
You made alot of commitments in your words based on a few assumptions. I hope your kung fu isn't as bad as that lol
@@JingyJingJing I'm bringing back the old style original training and fighting by joining the army and fighting more full contact with violent people including MMA fighters to figure out how to apply those moves including grappling/counter grappling. Too bad there's Covid19 plandemic, else I could have joined competition that uses open gloves to display my skill last year end.
@@jayjay53313 yup they did it all just to suppress you Goku.
@@spectralmelodies5979 i'm going to fight MMA fighter in cage again, this time it's not audition but actual fight match as martyr. If there's good news on the result, I'll post on YT to encourage more kungfu practitioners to do the same. If I lost, I will try again until there's winning video against able MMA fighters.
Problem with kungfu guys here, many are either too poor in terms of income, stuck with 12 hours work everyday, living too far from city or just uncooperative stubborn hiding from reality world. I have taken 3 days off just to train with 1 kungfu guy (that wanted the original fighting technique back) the necessary grappling & counter grappling to break MMA fighters grip before I could apply striking, locking, grappling. My upcoming MMA opponent is 4inch taller, they know I'm coming.
MMA fighters here are mostly middle class earning higher monthly income and they get to train with sparring partners 2-3 days or almost daily every week. For me, no training partner focus on shadow partner except the 3 leaves that I'll take next month. Wushu sanda guys that train much physical conditioning and sparring are just too overproud despite don't dare to fight MMA fighters. Even wushu sanda guys hated kungfu calling it useless when I demonstrated how it works on them. They shunned me away instead. Problem with Chinese nowadays
