It's very common in the Wuxia novels, which is a genre of Chinese fiction concerning the adventures of martial artists in ancient China.
It's never that serious.

Qinggong: A form of real Chinese martial arts.In wuxia fiction, however, its use is exaggerated to the point that characters can circumvent gravity to fly, cover tremendous distances in a single stride, run across surfaces of water, mount trees, and jump over or scale high walls.
