Using unusual combination attacks and direction shifts, a mizongquan practitioner can attack from all angles and stymie even the most stalwart defense. Speed is the key, with agile movements and tricky footwork adding to the unpredictability of the art. Mízōngquán is especially deadly when it takes to the air. This style focuses on internal energy, and strength and coordination of the legs, torso, and eyes are essential. This style has also been adapted to various forms of weapon-based combat.
