Archaic Battlefield Mian Quan - 古战绵拳

In ancient China, Archaic Battlefield Mian Quan (Kung Fu) was used in war. It was the way that the commander trained the soldiers at that period. Soldiers practiced it with weapons. However, in order to prevent the peasants from revolting, the common civilians were not allowed to keep weapons at home. The civilians trained without weapons and this fighting style was also called Archaic Battlefield Kung Fu (Kung Fu).Unlike other countries, China has always had a large population. Hence, most of the wars included several hundred thousands of people. Soldiers without a good Kung Fu would die in battle. And then, soldiers who were able to survive war would improve their Kung Fu and teach their students. The students would go to the war or fight with others. This is a lose- win game. The losers were killed and the winners would live. The survivors then improved their Kung Fu again and teach their student. After thousands years of improving, that kind of skill became the Chinese Kung Fu we know today. That is how the Gu Mian Quan come about.

So, what are the characteristics of the Archaic Battlefield Kung Fu? First of all, Kung Fu should make the soldiers extremely strong and good at killing in the shortest amount of time. Also, the soldiers can fight in any environment habitable by humans after training. Real Chinese Kung Fu proves to be extremely efficient and practical after thousands of years.
