戳脚 Chuo Jiao

Chuo Jiao (Chinese: 戳腳; pinyin: Chuōjiǎo; literally: “poking foot“) is a Chinese martial art that comprises many jumps, kicks, and fast fist sequences. The fist and feet work in unison and strike continuously forward, like “falling meteorites“, never giving the opponent a moment to recover. The qinggong portion of this style’s training involves a practitioner jumping against a wall with heavy weights affixed to his/her calves. This style is practiced mainly in central Hebei, northern China, Beijing and Liaoning in North-eastern China. Chuo jiao originated in the Northern Song Dynasty (960–1127) and became popular during the Ming and Qing Dynasties (1368–1911). The source from Wu Binlou, a famous Chuojiao expert and founder of Beijing style, believed Chuōjiǎo comes from the Wen Family Boxing style of the Song dynasty (960–1279). Chuo Jiao has evolved into many branches.
