Introduction:
The hammerfist punching is one of the basic punches of the Association, also known as Wu Lao Quan. The punching in the punching means to get together. This fist was co-created by Yantai Wulao The advantages can be described as the essence of the North. It has not only Qixing Mantis Boxing and Plum Flower Mantis Boxing, but also other boxing techniques such as long-legged boxing, Tantric Boxing and Luohan Boxing. The style of boxing is strong, strong, simple and unpretentious, with a clear rise and fall and a flexible body. The key practice moves are hand flapping legs, cross legs, hanging legs. It is hoped that learners will cherish this boxing, and will not bear the painstaking efforts of their predecessors. It is said that the routine is a new one.
------------- translation by edmund zou ------------
Cha Chui Origins Around the time of the end of Guang Xu’s reign in the Qing Dynasty a lot of people came to Yantai, became my brothers and shared a lot of informations with me: Jiang Hua Long from the Plum Blossom Praying Mantis Style (Mei Hua Tang Lang Quan), Li Rong De who was praciticing the Bombing Leg Long Fist (Dan Tui Chang Quan), Su Ming Yuan who was practicing the Lost Track Fist (Mi Zong Quan) and Li Dan Bo who was practicing the Arhat Fist (Luo Han Quan). We five discussed what we should leave for future generations and have decided on creating a form together with everybody adding some techniques from their own respected style. Therefore I have started by adding these techniques: standing up stance, calling hand; double brushing circular strike; collapsing leg, circular strike; straight penetration whilst standing up. Rong De added the cross kick, hugging strike; the three retreats, striking palm; tricky hand, splitting strike, stomping. Hua Long has chosen carrying the arm on the shoulder; the navel splitting strike; the folding elbow. Ming Yuan added the double drag and the double hits against the mountain. I have also added: using the cross to attack the duck; the circular strike. Dan Bo added the piercing strike; walking horse, upsetting car; the rolling over strike. Hua Long added the toe step, needle and string. Rong De added the cross kick, escaping and hunting for food. I have then added turning around, straight penetration; double brushing strike. Hua Long added turning the body, looking up and helping. I have added opening the windows to look at the moon; the tornado strike. Rong De added sweeping up, stomping. Ming Yuan added falling step, horse riding, supporting strike. Rong De added stomping and drawing the bow. Ming Yuan Chu added the tornado kick; hunting for food. Rong De added hugging attack, cross kick; the two rising piercing strikes; the two rising conclusions. Afterwards Master Zhang Wen Qing proposed the idea of adding new techniques, the original form was to be refered to as old piercing strike. Master Zhang took the piercing fist again to change it, however, the changes were minor and have been removed once again later. (written in the twentyfifth year of Guang Xu’s reign)
