More about Drunken Fist Boxing: the hardest among Chinese Martial Arts styles
Probably the most bizarre but choreographic of all Martial Arts styles, Drunken Fist Boxing is mysterious like its origin. It is also called the Boxing of the Eight Drunkards, taking this name from the legends surrounding the Taoistic period where Drunken Boxing was born. Following their Taoistic heritage, these eight immortals’ aim was NOT to showcase the pleasure of drinking, but rather the ability to blend sobriety with skills, and as a consequence of this, attaining enlightenment as fluidity and complete freedom of movement.

Origins.
There are many legends linked to the origin of this style. The most credited one goes as follows: one day in ancient China, after winning a martial arts tournament, a Kungfu school started celebrating its victory drinking heaps of the typical Asian liquor (Bajiu). According to the legend, members of the defeated school, who came to their campus to take their revenge, got beaten again, as their opponent were all drunk after celebrating late that night.
