Hi Top Crusader,

The complete name of Tan Tui is Jiaomen Tan Tui, which means Religious Islamic Springing Legs.

It is important to note that the Muslims in China , known as the Hui, have contributed greatly to the development of the martial arts, over the years.
Some of the forms that they have developed is Zha-Quan (Shadow Fist), Tong Bei (Bronze Shield), and of course, Tan Tui to name a few.

A few of the famous Hui practitioners are:
Wang Zi Ping
Ma Xianda
Zhang Shao Fu


Tan Tui is a system that emphasises high kicks above the waist. You will also see the use of the vertical fist quite frequently. Every movement of the body represents a letter of the Arabic alphabet.


At present our school here in Cape Town, South Africa is the only school that practises Tan Tui the way it is practised by the Hui.I have only managed to learn 1 taolu of this so far.

To my knowledge, which is not much, the Jing Woo association is the only organisation that saw it fit to include this as part of their curriculum. It is also forms part of their event list at their competitions.


Tam Tui is slighly different but is based on Tan Tui. The story goes, as my teacher tells it, when Tan Tui began to take prominence amongst the Hui, the monks at a nearby temple came to here of this. They then proceeded to the village and watched the Hui practise this. As the monks were quite impressed with what they saw, they then went back to their temple and incoporated it into the foundation of their training. One change they did make was to restrict the kicking to waist level instead of above the waist.

For a small introduction on the Hui and the Tan Tui, check out: http://www.mjliwushu.com/hui_contribution.html

Hope this helps.

Can anyone tell me which version of Tan Tui did Grandmaster Chian Ho Yin teach. I can't find any videos that resemble his version online at all.

[IronWeasel]

. Every movement of the body represents a letter of the Arabic alphabet.

I've never heard that before.

Do you have any references that might illustrate the various alphabet positions?

Thanks.

[bawang]

whats her name, i cant read it.... never seen her in my life... she kinda cute tho...

the first vid is from Liu Lan Xi.

She became a nun and works for Da Lai La Ma.

the 2nd and 3 rd vid are examples for another singer from about the same time.

she continued to have a singing career.

once you became a nun or monk, you just disappear from any form of public life.

seclusion from the rest of the world.

hmmm...

I honestly don't like Sub E Lo Tan Tui (my Cantonese phonetic spelling is terrible). I think it's over rated as a line drill. Luckily I come from a LGY / WHF / CHY / H C mantis line and I got to learn LGY's created form Sub Sa Lo. It's a waaayyyy better basic line drill and you can actually fight with it. Tan Tui requires too much imagination for use and that makes me question it's useability. Then again - maybe it just means I should practice it more. As it stands - it's a good way to initiate a TCMA beginner with something martial arts like to practice and learn...

[YouKnowWho]

There are something very unique in Tan Tui and that is:

- 1 step 3 punches,
- 1 step 1 punch, and
- 3 steps 1 punch.

The running punch (3 steps 1 punch) shows the true nature of the northern CMA characteristic which I don't see that in other CMA styles forms.

This is my friend Sully. We both trained at the Kung Fu Center in Milwaukee back in 2005. Here he is doing Grandmaster Yin's Tan Tui #1. I have not seen this version of Tan Tui anywhere and I have forgot lines 4, 8, 10, 11, and 12. If anybody knows of where I could see these lines please let me know. I'm planning on going back to the school soon to brush up on some things. http://www.youtube.com/user/s7934777#p/u/8/7O-OKN90cT8
