Tongbeiquan (通背拳 tōngbèiquán; literally "Spreading Power from the Back Boxing", as tong means "through," bei means "back" and quan means "fist/boxing") is a school of martial arts popular in northern China, known for engaging opponents from maximum distance.[2] Tongbeiquan's basic precepts are Taoist in nature and many of the training methods in tongbeiquan are similar to those of the internal styles. In traditional tongbeiquan training, several parts are included: basic training (stance, arm techniques, leg techniques and conditioning), combinations, forms training, two-person free sparring, weapons training, and qigong training.
