Description
Tan Tui (Springing Legs) is a foundational training system within northern
Chinese Long Fist (Changquan) martial arts, deeply rooted in China's Hui
Muslim community. The routines emphasize blocking, stances, footwork, and
especially kicks, with the characteristic springing leg technique that gives the
style its name. Originally consisting of 28 roads based on the Arabic alphabet,
it was later condensed to the common 10-road and 12-road versions. Tan Tui is
widely practiced as essential basic training in Chaquan and other northern
styles, and is one of the most recognized foundational routines in Chinese
martial arts. It serves as both a standalone training method and a prerequisite
for more advanced Long Fist forms.
