In 1968, China had a rich tradition of martial arts, many of which included techniques and principles that could be applied for self-defense purposes. Some of the prominent self-defense arts in China during that time included: Wushu: Wushu is a general term for Chinese martial arts. It encompasses a wide range of styles, including both traditional and modern forms. Traditional Wushu styles such as Tai Chi, Shaolin Kung Fu, and Wing Chun often include self-defense techniques as part of their curriculum. Tai Chi Chuan: Tai Chi Chuan, often simply referred to as Tai Chi, is a Chinese martial art known for its slow, flowing movements and emphasis on internal energy (qi) cultivation. Despite its gentle appearance, Tai Chi contains many effective self-defense techniques, including strikes, joint locks, and throws. Shaolin Kung Fu: Shaolin Kung Fu is one of the oldest and most famous styles of Chinese martial arts, originating from the Shaolin Temple in Henan Province. It includes a wide range of techniques, including punches, kicks, blocks, and grappling maneuvers, which can be used for both self-defense and physical fitness. Wing Chun: Wing Chun is a style of Kung Fu known for its efficiency and practicality in close-range combat. Developed by the legendary martial artist Ng Mui, Wing Chun emphasizes sensitivity, structure, and simultaneous attack and defense. Its techniques are well-suited for self-defense situations. Chin Na: Chin Na, which translates to "seize and control," is a Chinese martial art focused on joint locks, pressure points, and grappling techniques. It is often taught as a complementary skill alongside other martial arts styles and can be highly effective for self-defense in close-quarters combat. During the late 1960s, martial arts in China experienced a resurgence in popularity due to various cultural and political factors. The government's promotion of traditional Chinese culture, combined with the global fascination with martial arts spurred by films and media, contributed to the continued practice and development of self-defense arts in China.
