36 Hand Sets


The 36 Basic Hand Sets as they are translated directly from the 
original Chinese characters on the original text from  Shizong 
Huang Han Xun  (Wong Hon Fan-The Mantis King of Hong Kong)  by 
Master Dou Wan Chun.  Various schools have adopted a variety of 
commonplace approximate translations which better describe the 
actual techniques, e.g.: Spear Hand/Piercing Hammer instead of 
Piercing Strike, Eight Elbows instead of Eight Talons, etc....  
The following are the direct translations.
