According to legend, this style was rooted in the Spring and Autumn period (770-476 BCE). This is probably because it comes from the Fan people, a Chinese minority tribe who have one of the oldest cultures of China. Unique to this style is a heavy emphasis on elbow attacks. The hand and arm are used primarily for defense. Accordingly, this is close distance combat, with little emphasis upon leg techniques or jumping. It has a 3-5 step fighting range.
