Yuejiaquan

Yuejiaquan

Yuejiaquan (岳家拳, literally "Yue Family Fist", alternately "Yue Ch'uan") is a style of Chinese martial arts attributed to Yue Fei, a noted General and patriot from the Song Dynasty. Legend claims Yue taught the style to his soldiers who passed it down for generations after his death. It contains mostly military-oriented attacks, and is based primarily upon the principles of combining internal and external techniques, theory and application. Its various tricks stem from its principal philosophy of the positive and negative and the five elements of the heart, liver, lung, spleen and kidney in the human body.

In popular culture

* The character Tanya from "Mortal Kombat" series uses Yuejiaquan as her primary fighting style.
