Qwan Ki Do has a fundamental correspondence with the ancient Taoist philosophy and shows special qualities as a martial art.

To the untrained eye, Qwan Ki Do appears little different from Shaolin boxing or any other Chinese boxing style characterized as "external" or "hard", because the direct hand and foot positions and techniques resemble those of Shaolin. boxing. However, this is the similarity perspective.

Seen from another angle, one immediately understands how Qwan Ki Do has something unique.

The attack and defense techniques describe circular lines and rapid changes of position are used.

The student continuously performs gestures that are more reminiscent of animal movements than sequences of boxing combat: monkeys jump, tigers grab, praying mantises swing from side to side, cranes stand on one leg, snakes strike at the light speed.

Furthermore, Qwan Ki Do does not mainly use opposing force against force, but rather uses agility and fluency, changes of position, dodges and defenses that evade or divert the opponent's strength. This makes the student's body supple, his reflexes quick and harmonious, and his poised and calm demeanor.
