Butterfly Palm

Postby Phalanxpursos » Thu Jul 12, 2012 8:41 am

I was looking on the Internet for information about Butterfly Boxing, but wasn't able to find it. So my question is; what is the Chinese name for Butterfly Boxing? Would be interesting to read some articles about it, what I have read sofar is that Spiritual Butterfly Boxing evolved during the 17th century together with Tai Chi Chuan when Martial Arts was borbidden by the Manchu.

Still I think an earlier more complete Butterfly style but it was absorbed and incorporated into other styles much like Crab Fist. Still that is more a guess than known truth.
