so
anyone have any vids on tan tui? i think im pretty interested in it, reading some of the info on it. any vids or any other info on tan tui such as how and when its used in real combat (if it is used) and or Training Drills?
There was an interesting article last year I believe in Qigong Kung fu magazine on tan tui. Its primarily a kicking art so lots of leg strengthening drills and training. Part of what sets it apart from other northern arts is that it is/was practiced primarily by Muslim Chinese, so it is a cultural art. As far as I know it was never adopted for any military use, so combat effectiveness was proven on an individual basis.
