Qinna 擒拿 Takedown with Hamer Strike. Peter van Hooij with one of his students in Arnhem, the Netherlands.

There are several Yuejiaquan 岳家拳 (Yueh Chia Chuan - Ngok Gar Kuen - Yue Family Kung Fu) styles. This is Yuemen Wuxingquan 岳门五行拳 (Yue Family Gate Five Elements Kung Fu), as taught by Mike Martello. Characteristic of this style is that it has no fixed forms of movement. It teaches practical principles and skills that you can freely combine and apply.

Yuemen Wuxingquan is a synthesis of Yuejiaquan and Xingyiquan 形意拳 (Hsing I Chuan). It combines Yueshi Sanshou 岳氏散手 (Master Yue's Scattered Hands) in the lineage of grandmaster Wang Jie 王傑 (Wang Chieh) with Yueshi Lianquan 岳氏连拳 (Master Yue's Continuous Boxing) and Wuxing Lianhuanquan 五行连环拳 (Five Elements Linked Boxing) in the lineage of grandmaster Sun Ruxian 孙汝贤 and Yiquan 意拳 (Intension Boxing) in the lineage of grandmaster Zhang Xinbin 張辛斌

Yuemen Wuxingquan covers all areas of self defense. It emphasizes the importance of both Quanji 拳擊 (Chinese Boxing) and Qinna 擒拿 (Seize Control) for all-round realistic self defense. Quanji consists of Da 打 (Strike) and Ti 踢 (Kick). Qinna includes Shuaijiao 摔跤 (Takedown).

The traditional Chinese martial arts should not be limited to the boundaries of fixed styles. Once you really mastered traditional Chinese martial arts, all styles are without boundaries. The traditional styles are still evolving, complement each other and can become one. So the traditional Chinese martial arts staying modern. Yuemen Wuxingquan is not a new style. It's the essence, energy and spirit of old school Yuejiaquan and Xingyiquan. It's not a fixed style. It's a style without boundaries. In a way it's a method rather than a style. It's a simple method to come to your own most effective style. It's simple, but not easy to learn. It takes discipline and dedication. With the right discipline and dedication you can master it quite quickly. Once you mastered it, it becomes easy.

Peter van Hooij had many teachers from Europe, US America, Indonesia, Thailand, Taiwan and China. His most influential teachers were grandmaster Phoa Yan Tiong 潘衍中 and Mike Martello.
