- Jin Suo Quan "Golden Lock Boxing"
Demonstrated by Ding Yuanqing of Guanhaiwei town in Cixi county, Ningbo prefecture, Zhejiang.
This style traces it's origins back to Li Laojian of Yushan county Shangrao prefecture in Jiangxi province. Having moved north from his home in Jiangxi, Li settled in Jiande county in Hangzhou prefecture Zhejiang during the Qing dynasty.
Today descendants of Li Laojian still live in Jiande and continue the practice of golden lock boxing.
From Jiande the Golden Lock system has spread to other areas of Zhejiang and was especially popular along the southern edge of Hangzhou bay, with Cixi county in Ningbo being a notable center of practice.
It should be noted that locals in Cixi often claim that Jin Suo Quan along with Kaozi Quan and Zuo Shou Gun all descend from methods learned from troops of Qi Jiguang who stationed for a time in Cixi. Although evidence of any direct descent is lacking and Kaozi Quan is more prominently associated with Qi.
Golden Lock Boxing contains a number of different forms with the Upper and Lower Roads of Golden Locks Boxing, Eight Gates Golden Locks, Four Gates Locks, and Six Step Locks being particularly prominent.
As the name suggests Golden Locks Boxing puts emphasis on defense and on seizing methods.
Nice. It's really valuable and important you are documenting these less famous styles. Thank you.
Cool style, but I keep being distracted by the lady talking on the phone and I’m trying to work out if its Ningbo dialect. When I heard it before it was close enough to Shanghainese that I could understand it, but I can’t understand this
Tea - your channel is astounding; I cannot believe this set spinning crescents; an aerial kick at 2:11 - each of these sets are a cornucopia of movement history. I'm really humbled by being able to review these. Probably what's even more curious is I've yet to see my own bagua sets - lots of elements (hsing-I, bagua & tai-chi of course like that); but nothing of the base stepping series, etc. Such a rich site you created - thank you, truly. So much to review and consider/contemplate...!
Great movements!
Great style!
Tq shifu for the show great kung fu.
Not only is the system amazing and the fact that it is documented means so very much for me in terms of preserving China's history and culture. Side note: Ding Yuanqing is actually kinda cute. I wanna pinch his cheeks :-)
Really Good!!
Would you happen by any chance to have footage of any style(s) from Shenzhen and/or a Fuzhou lineage of Sleeping Crane?
I don't think I have anything up from Shenzhen.
But here is some Fuzhou sleeping crane. It's unlisted now I should probably write up something and post it publicly. I've only ever seen this clip and another clip with a teacher from Putian doing a form. They were different forms but looked like the same style.

I'm really interested in Qi Jiguang. If you have a video of this Kaozi Quan, I would be grateful to see it.
Nope sorry. It was practiced in Cixi pretty commonly up to the cultural revolution. After that there were still some older practitioners back in the 80's and 90's. But today but today it's basically dead. There is supposedly one guy who still knows the complete system. He's gotten a decent amount of local press and he is known to be skilled in Jinsuo Quan and Zuoshou Gun. He calls what he teaches "Jin Kao Quan".
The thing is that while all the videos he's put out talk about Kaozi Quan and how rare it is and claim him as the last teacher, none of them show any Kaozi Quan. Everything in them is Jinsuo forms.
He claims he learn Kaozi Quan from his father as well as also learning from two other older Kaozi Quan teachers back in the late 70's / early 80's.
His father was known in the local martial community as being skilled in Kaozi Quan.
However people have also questioned his claims as while he claims to have inherited to complete Kaozi system he refuses to show it to anyone.
according to him his father had also learned it from his father and while it was practiced locally by other people their family thing was only to teach it in the family. Supposedly he tried teaching it to his son, but his son quite after 2 years and now has no interest in martial arts. He has said that he doesn't feel right teaching it to outsiders.
So right now there are still questions about whether he even knows it or at least how much of it he actually learned.
I almost put up a video of him but it would just be more Jinsuo Quan. I probably will put up a video of his Zuoshou Gun though.
Zuoshou gun is also claimed to descend from Shaolin staff methods taught by Shaolin monks who were in Zhejiang with Qi to fight the Wokou.
You have to understand though that lots of stuff in China, and especially in Zhejiang, claims to come from Qi Jiguang. But none of it can be substantiated.
Me likey very muchy.. Amitofu Shifu. 🙏 ☕🍩
Tq shifu for the show great kung fu.
