The Vacant Fist and Left/Right Technique were taught to Guo Jing by his sworn brother Old Mischief Zhou Botong at Peach Blossom Island. Guo Jing would later use the Jiu Yin theories to further improve on the 18 Dragon Subduing Palms, including creating more variations, thirteen different power levels, and adding softness to the palms styles. It is believed that a single blow from this fist can shatter bone to dust and the strength of the fist only increases higher during combat. 18 Dragon Subduing Palms is also the martial art of Xiao Feng of Khitan in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils series. The 18 Dragon Subduing Palms became Guo Jing's most powerful skill and his default fighting technique. The palms were taught to Guo Jing by one of the Five Greats Northern Beggar Hong Qigong. The 18 Dragon Subduing Palms are one of the most famous, most powerful, and hardest Palm Arts in Wulin and along with the Dog-Beating Stick, the top level martial arts of the Beggars' Sect. Listed below are the 18 palms of the 18 Dragon Subduing Palms: Guo Jing's ability to achieve this act however, was due to his knowledge of the Jiu Yin Zhen Jing, which shared many of the same ideas as Quanzhen martial arts. Guo Jing would later learn one of Quanzhen's top arts, The Big Dipper Formation by only looking at the stars. External arts weren't actually taught, but the external arts Guo Jing already possessed were greatly enhanced by his Quanzhen internal power base. However, they mainly taught the Quanzhen Internal Cultivation techniques, a superior form of internal cultivation due to its limitless growth. Quanzhen Sect elders Ma Yu, Qiu Chuji, and Wang Chuyi each taught Guo Jing various aspects of the Quanzhen Sect's martial arts. The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan weren't elite martial artists and their teachings confused Guo Jing due to the seven of them contradicting each others' teachings, but their early training provided Guo Jing good crash course on basic martial arts. These seven martial artists located Guo Jing at the age of six and trained him in their various martial arts because of a bet they had with Quanzhen Taoist Qiu Chuji where once Guo Jing turned eighteen years old, he would compete against Yang Kang, who would be trained by Quanzhen Taoist Qiu Chuji, to see who were the superior teachers. Guo Jing's first taste of Chinese martial arts came from the The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan. The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan Martial Arts Guo Jing was an accomplished wrestler in the Mongolian style of wrestling, a style of combat that would later help him in battle. Guo Jing famously shot down two condors with a single arrow during his youth in Mongolia. Guo Jing was among the finest archers in the Mongol Empire, trained by the greatest Mongolian archer of his era and military leader Jebe for over a decade. His martial arts and combat repertoire included: His wide range of great martial arts skills was unmatched among the martial artists of the Central Plains. He is widely considered to be the platonic ideal of the Confucian Xia, a somewhat ironic fact given that he is only barely literate, of lowly birth and is raised amongst the Mongols, and in no way the learned Confucian scholar.īy the time Guo Jing entered his 30's, he was among the most accomplished and powerful martial artists of his era.

His character, of course, is not without fault, for the flipside of his moral rectitude is his intolerance for things that run against traditions, and his sometimes rigid interpretation of what is right, such as wanting to cut off his daughter Guo Fu's arm after she cut off Yang Guo's right arm, but eventually his compassion won out.

The matured Guo Jing is characterised by a supreme dignity, a complete unconcern for personal interests, magnanimity, generosity and an overriding desire to protect the people.

Indeed, his definition of the duty of a Xia, 'To serve the nation and the people, that is true chivalry' remained the most accepted definition of the term, even outside Jin Yong novels. In The Return of the Condor Heroes, we see a matured Guo Jing, the very pinnacle of Confucian virtue and the Xia ideal. In the Legend of the Condor Heroes, he was a simple boy raised in Mongolia, who considered personal loyalty to be the highest virtues, that gradually learned the importance of the sworn word and eventually compassion and the nature of violence. His most distinguishing characteristic, apart from mental slowness, is his constant fight for moral rectitude. Frequently described as dumb, slow, and inarticulate, Guo Jing is the complete opposite of his clever and witty wife, Huang Rong. Guo Jing is described as having thick eyebrows and large eyes, with a sturdy build, and a complexion that is somewhere between dark and fair. 2.3 The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan Martial Arts.
