Choy Li Fut Fist is a famous Guangdong Southern Boxing style, which combines the essence of the three types of boxing techniques of Cai, Li and Buddhism. On June 7, 2008, Choy Li FutFist was approved by the State Council to be included in the second batch of national intangible cultural heritage list.
This boxing technique is mainly based on fists, palms, and bridges. The palm techniques of Choy Li Fut Fist include insertion, brake, brake, bracing, splitting, pushing, supporting, erasing, throwing, and picking. In actual combat, the combination of palm techniques is varied, richer and more fierce than fists.
“Kung Fu Wushu Cool” has compiled a set of 5 sets of Choy Li FutFist practical palm techniques to share with you.
First, progress brake palm + continuous palm support
1. Our (left) stands with a left imaginary step and a left protective palm, and the enemy stands in a right fighting style; the two sides confront each other (Figure 1);
2. The enemy slides forward and closes, and at the same time attacks our head with a right swing fist; Our side immediately steps up to the left and closes, and at the same time brakes forward and left with the left palm, that is, using the outer edge of the left palm to split the enemy’s front and left while blocking the enemy’s right forearm with the left forearm to the left (Figure 2). The brake palm is a palm method that is both offensive and defensive, which blocks the enemy’s lateral attack while splitting the enemy horizontally, and defending against the middle and fighting.
3. When the upward movement is non-stop, when the enemy is disrupted by our “progressive brake”, the right leg immediately steps up and squats, and slams the enemy’s abdomen or ribs with the left riding dragon step and the right palm (the outer edge of the palm) (Figure 3);
4. Immediately after the upward movement, while the enemy is hit in the abdomen and bending down and bowing his head, our right foot quickly steps up, gets up and slams the bridge of the enemy’s nose with the left palm (outer edge of the palm) (Picture 4).

4. Immediately after the upward movement, while the enemy is hit and leans back, our side quickly clasps the enemy’s right foot with its left foot to prevent him from retreating; At the same time, quickly push the enemy’s abdomen or ribs with the horse’s left palm (using the outer edge of the palm and the base of the palm as the force point) to knock him down (Figure 12).
