Shaolin Kung Fu Styles
Tantui
(Spring Leg Boxing / Leg Flicking Boxing) (01)
Tantui or
leg flicking boxing is also called pond legs. It has 10 routines
and was therefore called 10-routine pond legs. When Shaolin monks
added two more routines, it became the 12-routine pond legs. As
many Moslems in China practise the boxing, it is also called
religious leg flicking boxing. Tantui concentrates on feet plays
with fist plays as support. Its movements are not complicated but
complete and executed flawlessly. A symmetry is maintained by
placing the feet one by one taking wide steps while keeping the
body in a crouched position.
