Zhu Sha Zhang is a kind of kungfu benefiting the internal organs. As a saying goes: practicing kungfu without strengthening internal organs will get you nowhere. So it can be seen the importance of real kungfu. Since 6 years old, Yang Yong has been practicing the health-reserved exercise of Zhu Sha Zhang personally passed down by his great-grandfather who ever served in the imperial palace. Now that he is over 80 years old, he still walks with vigorous strides and think clear. Having practiced this exercise for over 70 years, Yang Yong has a lot to say about its effect of enlightening, building strong muscle, warding off diseases and helping recovery, and extending longevity.
