Welcome to a unique opportunity to study Liu Tang Gen (六趟根), or "Six Hall Foundations," one of the most historically significant and comprehensive root systems of Chinese Kung Fu. Also known historically as Wen Family Boxing (温家七十二行拳) and the Mother-Son Fist (母子拳), its effectiveness was recorded and praised in Ming Dynasty military manuals like General Qi Jiguang's Jixiao Xinshu centuries ago. This is the art that gave birth to the famous "Ba Shan Fan" (Eight Flash Tumble) and represents the strategic essence of Chinese martial thought, embodying the principles of Sun Tzu's The Art of War.

Liu Tang Gen is not a flowery performance art; it is a pragmatic and powerful combat framework designed for battlefield survival. Its core philosophy is to use strategy and structure to defeat strength with softness, and larger opponents with smaller, precise movements. It is the "Mother" system, meaning all its techniques and strategies are generated from a few core, powerful principles.

The pedagogical approach to Liu Tang Gen is a meticulously structured progression that begins with forging the fundamental tools of combat. Initial training is dedicated to constructing a powerful and stable foundation and the meticulous practice of core strikes, ensuring every movement is rooted and power is generated from the ground up. Once this structural integrity is established, the student then systematically learns the core sequences, which are the vessels containing the art's strategic principles. Mastery of these sequences naturally leads to the study of their practical application, where the sophisticated concepts of the "Moving Gates" and "Entry Methods" are revealed. This culminates in the practice of two-person drills and controlled sparring, where the student learns to apply the entire system, its strategies, locks, strikes, and finishes. Fluidly and appropriately against resisting opponents, embodying the art's core philosophy of using structure and strategy to overcome brute force.
