Liuhebafa Quan (Chinese: 六合八法拳; pinyin: liùhébāfǎ quán; lit. 'Six-Harmonies Eight-Methods Boxing') is a Neijia (internal) Chinese martial art.

History

The Song dynasty Taoist sage Chen Tuan is often credited with its origin and development.[1] He was associated with the Taoist Monastery on Mount Hua in Shaanxi Province.[2]

It is said he had learned the art from three teachers: Yan Guoxing, Chen Guangdi (who learned the art from a monk, Da Yuan and a Taoist, Li Chan), and Chen Helu.[3]
