Shuai Jiao
 

Shuai Jiao (throw horn) - Shuai Jiao traces its roots to a primordial combat style called Jiao Di (literally "horn hit") attributed to the mythic Yellow Emperor Huangdi. Ancient books and drawing document wrestlers wearing helmets with horns during contests, which is the origin of the horn in the name. Over the dynasties, this style underwent multiple name changes and variations, but the spirit remained the same, so it can justifiably stake a claim as one of the oldest styles of kungfu. Renowned for their expertise in this wrestling art, Mongolians will hold contests as part of their cultural festivals. In 1928, under the Republic of China, the Guoshu Institute of Nanjing standardized these contests under the name Shuai Jiao. Today, it has gained worldwide acceptance as a popular combat sport and an effective
method of self-defense.
