太祖长拳是宋代少林寺僧根据宋太祖赵匡胤所创的拳法，整套流传下来，真是拳如其人，招式突变，变化莫测，攻防兼备，以突变而应万变，是古往今来求胜的绝招。也是在实践中摸索出的套路。

 On the basis of the hand forms of Song Taizu (first emperor of the Song dynasty), the Shaolin warrior monks created this routine. Its main characteristics lie in its abrupt change of movements, which are absolutely unpredictable, extremely practical, and powerful in offense and defense. This hand form was created in actual combat and should be a last resort when you are in lethal danger.
