Tantui (彈腿/潭腿), or "springy legs," is a style in martial arts based on kicks, created in Northern China by Chinese Muslims. It is composed of a series of forms, which emphasize blocking, stances, footwork, and most of all, kicks. Tantui exists as a style on its own, but it is more often found used as basic forms for styles like Chaquan.
Tantui as a form is a famous northern wushu form and has several variations due to its incorporation into various styles and characteristics of the form also vary. These styles include praying mantis(mainly northern),general longfist(changchuan), Northern Shaolin chuan as well as many other minor styles and systems.
The tan tui routines consist of roads or parts that divide the form and vary from variation to variation of the form. Orgiginally tan tui consisted of 28 roads that were based on the 28 characters of the muslim alphabet and was later summarised. Today the most common variations of tan tui are the 10 and 12 road tan tui.
