Ditangquan, or "ground tumbling boxing", is a type of martial art that originated in the Shandong Province of China during the Song Dynasty (960-1279). 

Style: The major characteristic of this style is the ability to perform tumbles, falls, turns, somersaults and aerial acrobatics using those techniques for both offense and defense.

  • Ground Element Boxing (地行拳);
