Shaolin 12 Spring Legs
Tan Tui
Build the foundation beneath your Kung Fu.
Tan Tui means Spring Legs.
It is a traditional Northern Chinese training system used to develop strong stances, coordinated movement, flexibility, balance and martial timing.
The twelve routines teach the body how to connect:
Feet.
Legs.
Waist.
Hands.
Movement becomes organised from the ground upward.
Tan Tui is suitable for beginners, returning practitioners and experienced martial artists who want to strengthen their foundations.

The online training may include:
-
- Step-by-step instruction in the twelve routines
- Stance and balance development
- Leg conditioning and mobility
- Whole-body coordination
- Traditional martial applications
- Partner-work concepts

- Historical and philosophical context
The course is organised progressively.

Build one section at a time.
The Tan Tui Lineage
Tan Tui has a long history within Northern Chinese martial practice and was later adopted as an important Shaolin foundational system.
The 1MindBodyFitness teaching was passed to Dr Jeff Lan through his teacher, Shifu Siu Yu Fok, in the traditional teacher-disciple manner.
The deeper history, lineage account and names of the twelve routines are included on the dedicated course page and in Dr Jeff Lan’s written work.

Peng Nan Wing Chun
Structure before force.
Wing Chun is a close-range Chinese martial art built around efficient structure, coordinated movement and calm response.
At 1MindBodyFitness, we teach the Peng Nan lineage, also commonly written as Pan Nam Wing Chun.
The system was transmitted to Dr Jeff Lan through Liang Dong Sheng.
This branch retains internal training principles alongside the physical hand forms and martial applications.
What Wing Chun Develops
Training focuses on:
-
- Structural alignment
- Rooted stance
- Efficient movement
- Relaxed power
- Close-range coordination
- Sensitivity principles
- Breath and internal connection
- Calm under pressure
The aim is not to overpower every movement.
It is to use the body more intelligently.
