Liu He Ba Fa (六合八法拳) (''Six Harmonies Eight Methods''), originally called "Water Boxing" 水拳, is a form of Internal Chinese Martial Arts . Its principles are associated with a 'water' exercise method said to pre-date the Song Dynasty (960-1279). The legendary Taoist sage Chen Tuan (Chen Bo, Chen Xi Yi, Chen Hsi I) is credited with its origin and development. He was associated with the Hua Shan Taoist Monastery on Mount Hua in Shaanxi Province; its counterpart rival is the Buddhist Temple in the Wudang Mountains . The LHBF form "Zhu Ji 築基" was taught in the late nineteen thirties in , and Chan Helu from Beijing . Many of Wu Yi Hui's students had martial arts backgrounds and modified the form to merge it with their own knowledge. This is one of several explanations for its similarities with other martial arts such as Xingyiquan , Baguazhang , Taijiquan and Yiquan . The derived variants usually have standards in common: # Practitioners consider the art an ''internal'' martial art. # The core form usually has the 66 movement form called "Zhu Ji 築基" and is divided as two parts. # The sequence of moves is the same in the variant styles. # The starting movement is also repeated as the last, final movement. FORMS The system of LiuHe BaFa as taught by Wu Yi Hui contains several forms (taolu), including bare hand and weapons forms as well as partner exercises.
