It’s said that, in the course of seeking enlightenment there, he developed a new style of boxing, It was called Neijia boxing, and was based on the Taoist principle of the yin and the yang, as well as the movements of the moon and the stars, and the appearance of the mountains and rivers. The reputation of Neijia Boxing has developed to such an extent, that in martial arts circles, it is counted on a par with Shaolin Kung Fu.
