Brief introduction of Liuhe mantis boxing

Liuhe Mantis Boxing, as a famous pictographic boxing of Han nationality, is based on Liuhe Boxing, which combines the techniques of mantis boxing and absorbs the advantages of many kinds of boxing. After two centuries and generations of experience, it has become a wonderful work in China Wulin with its unique fighting style. It is mainly spread among the Han people in Zhaoyuan and Longkou, Shandong Province, and there are also practitioners in other countries and regions, such as Japan, the United States, Russia, Spain and Taiwan Province Province. Because its martial arts are mostly in the folk, its practitioners aim at strengthening self-defense, take not showing off people easily and showing off their martial arts as their virtues, and mostly focus on farming, with a low level of education. In the old days, when practicing martial arts, "the master sets an example and his disciples are all ears". It is difficult for people with virtue, wisdom, benevolence, filial piety and righteousness to learn this skill, and they will not easily "sell goods" unless they have to.

Liuhe Mantis Boxing is a unique boxing method, which has absorbed the strengths of many Han folk martial artists in its development and inheritance, taking Liuhe (three-in-one) as the essence, spinning silk as the soul, sitting on the pheasant step and the giant ape pose as the basis, taking the axe blade and exhibition racket as the main leg techniques, taking the hook-grasping (mantis hook grip) millstone (millstone hand) as the female hand, and taking three fists as the female fist.

In the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, Wang Lang created the mantis fist. Over the past 300 years, after the development and perfection of masters and boxers in past dynasties, many schools have been formed, such as seven-star mantis boxing, plum blossom mantis boxing, Liuhe mantis boxing and Taiji mantis boxing. The "Liuhe" of Liuhe Manta Boxing is the inner ternary of "mind and spirit, heart and qi, qi and strength" and the outer ternary of "shoulder and hip, elbow and knee, hand and foot".

Compared with other schools of mantis boxing, Liuhe mantis boxing has not been widely spread since its inception, mainly because its practitioners always aim at strengthening self-defense and take not showing people easily and martial arts as their virtues. Liuhe mantis boxing is mainly spread among the people in Zhaoyuan and Longkou. There are not a few practitioners in Japan, the United States and other countries, but only the boxing method and equipment of Zhaoyuan pulse are the most comprehensive (boxing method includes all ten sets of stunts in Gold Exchange, and the equipment covers knives, guns and sticks), and the techniques are more practical, and actual combat is the core and essence of Liuhe Mantis.
