Description: Emei is the name of one of the four major Buddhist mountains (the others being Wutai, Putuo, and Jiuhua).

Emei is also one of the major martial mountains, being located just behind Song Mountain (Shaolin) and Wudang Mountain. Just like these other mountains, a wide range of kung fu styles have descended from this venerated sacred place.

Since the Emei mountain range is renowned for its abundant wildlife, it comes as no surprise that Emei Quan is famous for its animal styles, most particularly monkey style and its unique southern styles.

Low stable stances with little hopping are characteristic of this style. Jumps are executed very lightly and quickly and its movements are very diverse. Many of its most lethal techniques are derived from the use of the wrist.
