The ancient martial arts sects referred to those martial arts groups whose main business was to teach martial arts and practice martial arts. They were often formed by the founder of a sect or a few masters. The skills and ideas of the sect were passed down, and many disciples formed a huge martial arts community. There are many kinds of sects, and different sects have different characteristics and inheritances. Some sects focus on internal cultivation, some on external cultivation, some on swordsmanship, some on boxing, and so on. At the same time, there were also disputes and competition between martial arts sects for market share and status in the martial arts world. In novels and movies, ancient martial arts sects often played an important role. They not only represented martial arts culture, but also played an important role in the grudges and storylines of the martial arts world.
