Description: Tantui or leg flicking boxing, is also known as pond legs. Its origin is connected to Cha Quan. However, its popularity warrants its acknowledgment as an independent style.

It consists of 10 routines, and was therefore also known as 10-routine pond leg. When the Shaolin monks added two more routines, it also became known as the 12-routine pond legs.

Interestingly enough, since many Moslems in China practice this style, it has yet another name, which is religious leg flicking boxing.

Tantui concentrates mainly on foot play, with fist play as support. Symmetry is maintained by placing the feet one by one, taking wide steps, while keeping the body in a crouched position.
