Ziranmen or Zi Ran Men (), also known as Natural Boxing, is a Northern internal style of kung fu that is taught in conjunction with Qigong breathing techniques. The style traces its lineage to Dwarf Xu, who based it on ancient Taoist philosophy.〔 Du Xinwu, the next bearer of the lineage, served as a bodyguard to Sun Yat-sen, then the provisional president of the Republic of China. Du imparted his knowledge of "Natural Boxing" to his eldest son Du Xiu Si and Wan Laisheng, a prominent twentieth century martial artist. == Philosophy == Zi Ran Men/nature boxing is based on ancient Taoist philosophy, Traditional Chinese Medicine and, most importantly, the philosophy of "One and Zero". It combines physical training, qigong, meditation and combat techniques. Through training, Zi Ran Men is said to enhance the spirit of the mind, regulate the circulation of qi and develops physical sensitivity. According to practitioners when the body is in harmony, you will live a long and healthy life.〔 The main principle of Zi Ran Men is to overwhelm the opponent by attacking continuously, using every part of the body to strike.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.kungfu-taichi.com/servlet/kungfoo/Action/Resource/ResourceKey/1489 )〕 Zi Ran Men make use of four fundamental techniques: ''Tun'' (contraction), ''Tu'' (expansion), ''Fu'' (floating) and ''Chen'' (sinking). These techniques are generally expressed through movement of the spine. Zi Ran Men is also noted for its footwork (''bu fa''), which involves moving lightly on the balls of the feet and enables sudden changes of direction.〔 Kicks are a key part of the art's arsenal.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Zi Ran Men」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
