Tan Tui Martial Arts: Fundamentals And Methods Of Self-Defense: From Basics To Advanced Techniques

By: ZǏmò, Qiáng

Traditional Chinese martial arts known as Tan Tui, or "Spring Legs," emphasize leg techniques, specifically kicks. Originating in Northern China, this art form is distinguished by its rhythmic movements, footwork, and striking patterns.
The name "Tan Tui" is derived from the Chinese phrase "Spring Legs" or "Springing Legs," denoting the style's emphasis on limb movements that are both explosive and spring-like. Each defined pattern or form that Tan Tui practitioners typically execute consists of an arrangement of kicks, strikes, blocks, and stances.
In addition to its practicality and combat efficacy, Tan Tui is renowned for its emphasis on developing flexibility, balance, limb strength, and coordination. Frequently employed as a foundational martial art, it furnishes a robust framework upon which additional instruction in Shaolin Kung Fu and other Chinese martial arts styles can be built.
Similar to numerous conventional martial arts, Tan Tui incorporates philosophical and spiritual elements, placing equal emphasis on physical training and the values of discipline, respect, and self-improvement.
