As a basic weapon, the Shaolin cudgel skill is one of the important Shaolin kungfu. Before the founding of Shaolin Monastery, the local hunters often took tree branches as the stick to play martial arts. Because cudgels and sticks can be found everywhere in the forest, so it is very easy for Shaolin monks to take them as their weapons for defending themselves. That's why the Shaolin fighting monks especially pay attention to the training of Shaolin cudgel skills. The routines of Shaolin cudgel skills handed down from ancient time to the present include Qimei (eyebrow) cudgel, Fenghuo (wind-and-fire) cudgel, Yuanhou (ape-and-monkey) cudgel, Yinshou (negative hand) cudgel, Yangshou (positive hand) cudgel, Meihua (plum blossom) cudgel, Yunyang (wind-and-sun) cudgel and etc.
