Lan Shou Men (Blockade or Barring\u00a0 Hand style)<\/strong> is a Long Fist method. Some people say that the style was created in the Shaolin Temple, some that it originates in GuangDong and still others that it comes from the Si Chuan Er Mei Mountains. \"\"Whatever its origins, it is self-contained and complete. During the Ming-Qing transition Zheng Tian Xing, a rebel from Henan, fled from Manchu authorities and moved to Tian Jin. In Tian Jian he set himself up teaching Lan Shou Men. His teaching split into two styles: He Dong Pai and He Xi Pai (east and west river sects). Lan Shou once had only two forms and now has a number of hand and weapons sets. TianJin, now the main center for Lan Shou Men, can claim over 300 years of its history though the history itself probably extends much further back.<\/p>\n

\"\"Lan Shou,<\/strong> as the name suggests, specializes in “Lan” or intercepting motions which counter “on the beat” as they say in fencing. Lan Shou is powerful, like Baji, with low kicks and forceful but sophisticated actions. It is strong in the area of Chin Na, partially because it must be prepared for immediate change upon collision. As far as weapons, Lan Shou puts much emphasis on spear technique since it dovetails perfectly with the requirements of the style. Lan Shou also likes the saber which is represented in both single and double sets including, as might be expected, a Six Harmony Saber.<\/p>\n
