| rdfs:comment | - Drunken Boxing, also known as Drunken Fist or Drunkard's Boxing, is a traditional Chinese martial art. It is a style of wushu that imitates a drunkard in its movements. The postures are created by momentum and weight of the body, and imitation is generally through staggering and a certain type of fluidity in the movements. Part of the idea here is to make one's movements unpredictable (because it doesn't look like any normal martial art). It is considered to be among the more difficult wushu styles to learn, due to the need for powerful joints and fingers. Examples of Drunken Boxing include:

It is considered to be among the more difficult wushu styles to learn, due to the need for powerful joints and fingers. 'Drunken Boxing' techniques are based on the legend of 'The Eight Drunken Immortals'. Each of the techniques in the Drunken Set demonstrates an attribute of one of the Immortals. These "elements" from all eight Immortals' styles are combined to form a beautiful and effective fighting art. It also provides an interesting-looking set of movements for a character, or makes him stand out amongst other more linear fighters. Variant of the Drunken Master in which the character performing this combat style doesn't need to actually be drunk. Related to the story trope Confusion Fu. Unfortunately this is often considered a good example of Awesome but Impractical, as the style itself performs poorly in competitions. Examples of Drunken Boxing include:
