You know whats strange...I learned tan tui from Wu tan NY, and not only do we have twelve forms of tan tui, it looks very different although i can see some similarities.

[mikemartello]

Jobex, tantui as taught in taiwan wutan is 10roads from HanChingTan; 12 roads came later as an influence from other longfist people. Of course they resemble each other: my guess is NY Wutan styles has been evolved by Ma Laoshi influences from other sources, teachers, even your mantis style is a bit different from taiwan mantis, even though SuChang taught almost everyone in old Wutan. Now thats funny, best of luck in your training.

I like your interpretation of tan tui. This is from a mantis school?

[mikemartello]

yingjow, yes I am a Mantis player not a TT player. I like to teach TT before I teach Mantis, it is great for basics it teaches that aid in Mantis foundations. So I teach all new students TT. That is why the flavor is a bit different... Its all good...

Mr. Martello,

I was interested if tan tui is part of your mantis lineage or did you get it from another source? Which mantis style are you?

We have tan tui because of the ching mo influence.

[mikemartello]

yin, I play several mantis styles, with Babu as my major style. No TT is not part of our mantis lineage, but a companion style to teach bascis, TT is from Han Ching Tan, through Adam Hsu and may others in Taipei.

@jwongk76 Oh, and another thing about bajiquan is though Wu Zhong was the first recorded practitioner, who was a Hui, records stated he learned it from traveling Taoist priests. Liu Yun Qiao, Li Shu Wen's last student, was surprised to view some alikeness when Chen Fake demonstrated his family's line of taiji prompting some to believe bajiquan to have Taoist roots.

@jwongk76 I believe was talking about Shaolin in general, not just tantui, son.

[jwongk76]

@6arcsn1sky do your research son, anyone that has any real chinese martial arts knowledge knows that Tan tui is originally from the chinese muslims along with Cha quan and Bajiquan

[katsura1982]

islamic long fist (教門長拳 / Jiao Men Chang Quan) is a division of long fist. it includes forms like this one and Cha Quan. it just happens to be that there are a lot of muslims in the area of China where it is widely practiced. there's no religious component to it, but even if there was, it's still an awesome style.

@JobeX

Hi. I study under John Chen in Philadelphia. I know the same Tantui or Spring Leg routine you guys do.

[6arcsn1sky]

@NassemAir That's ridiculous since Shaolin had been around before Islam came to existence.

[NassemAir]

thats wrong. Tan tui is muslim style , shaolin get that stuff from muslims

[KsyGuyVideoCo]

[kyomodo]
