The Authors on the basis of long-term historical research, bring closer one of the kung-fu styles called ‘The boxing from Putna’.
The style of ‘The boxing from Putna’ is similar to the Noi Cun style, which was based on the canons of Taoism – China’s indigenous religion, which followers are guided by the basic principle: do not do anything against nature. The Noi Cun style was based on the liberation – through specific concentrating, breathing and physical exercises – internal energy was concentrated in one hand, in a few fingers or even in one finger. The main motive developing the fight  echnique was the fight with armed opponent. This style was developed mainly among Taipings in the region of Hwai mountains. The style of ‘The boxing from Putna’ is often compared to ‘the boxing of life points by hours of the day’. It takes advantage from the knowledge about how the particular time of the day and night differently affect the various organs of animals and humans. It was very important for the final effect of particular blow, to strike a blow in specific time interval and to precisely punch in the vital point. The Authors discuss the principles of training new disciples, the characteristic weapon of the style, and present particular striking points defining the time of their application and the effects they cause in the opponent’s body.
