Tan Tui is simply and complexly the basis of Northern style boxing. Most every Northern system uses Tan Tui in some fashion though the movements may differ slightly. For instance, I learned both Mizong and Shaolin approach, but if you watch the competitive wushu way you'll see yet another difference. What's important is the conditioning and combat values. If you master only 12 Tan Tui you'll be able to defend any attacker. It covers chin na, takedowns, and strikes.
there are SO many variations of Tan Tui, i think you could just go ahead and say, "yeah there's a Tan Tui for every star in the sky."
but that's not a bad thing, i think. it shows that Kung Fu in general and Tan Tui in particular has many adherents. as long as they remain true to the roots and intent of Chinese Martial Arts, right?
This version is very close the version I learned. My sifu told me that this style is Mai Jung Pai (Lost Track Style). To me, this video validates what I've learned is authentic, although slightly different. I believe that no one version or style of this set is more correct then the other. And that's the beauty of martial arts for it generates questions for discussions and promotes commoraderie among martial artists.
@lifeinkansas Many Muslim practice Islam in a very slight way to keep diversity but within the boundaries of the government stipulations. Muslim that i knew while in china said it was very similar but like a Islam-lite version. They were treated very harshly during the cultural revolution and either left, renounced religion, or practiced secretly. Much of the earliest imports of Muslim CMA were from people who left. When doing my TanTui in china it was called "Muslim TanTui" and same with Xingyi
@barendts having lived in china and seen chinese muslim communities i agree it is hard to imagine as they are different. i did not even know my favorite restaurant was muslim until after i left and was told so by Grace Wu (grand dauter of Wang Zi Ping). i also learned TanTui from her and yes it was very different than the JingWu version. I think he was showing clearly the transitions rather than performing for an audience. My version is much more fluid and pauses differently but is very similar.

@JainFarstrider325 Well, someone below me said "Blue Kata Kung Fu", but I can't find that.

On an unrelated topic, what is the music played in this video, it is quite enjoyable.
