Qingcheng kungfu from southwest Sichuan province has been shrouded in mystery for centuries.
Once known locally as the "greenwood-hero style," it was practiced in the mountains of Sichuan by outlaws during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).
Historical records show that Qingcheng kungfu has been ranked among the top five martial arts branches, along with the Shaolin, Emei, Wudang and Kunlun sects, since the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127).
