HISTORICAL CONTEXT
In the Natural School (Ziranmen), the legs are considered the primary weapons of engagement, following the famous martial maxim: 'Hands are two doors, while the foot hits.' Master Du Feihu, the 3rd-generation heir to the Du Xinwu lineage, presents this definitive 2-DVD set on the Eight Subtle Foot Skills (Tui Fa Ba Shi). Historically, Ziranmen practitioners were renowned for their Magic Kicks, which were delivered with such speed and subtlety that opponents were often struck before they realized an attack had begun. This volume preserves the authentic technical routine and combat logic that have made Ziranmen kicking one of the most feared aspects of the Chinese internal arts.
TECHNICAL PHILOSOPHY
The technical philosophy of Ziranmen footwork is centered on the integration of kicking with natural movement. The goal is to launch a strike during the process of walking or shifting weight, making the attack completely unpredictable. The philosophy emphasizes that the fist is less powerful than the foot, and therefore the legs must be trained to act with the same dexterity as the hands. Master Du Feihu demonstrates the eight core feats: Flick (Kick the Crotch), Stamp (Changxin Leg), Hook (Lift in Half Way), Stride Over (Big Side Moon), Shove, Sweep, Sway, and Brush. Each skill is designed to exploit a specific opening in the opponent's defense while maintaining the practitioner's own structural buoyancy.
BIOMECHANICAL ANALYSIS
Biomechanically, the Eight Subtle Foot Skills are a masterclass in kinetic chain management and balance. Master Du Feihu provides a deep analysis of how the power is initiated in the core and snapped through the joints of the leg. The training focuses on the Spring Body mechanics, allowing for high-velocity kicks that do not require a large preparatory movement. The footwork is designed to be Light and Stable, ensuring that the practitioner can transition from a kick back to a solid stance instantaneously. This DVD analyzes the role of the Kua (pelvis) in generating torque and the importance of maintaining a vertical spine to ensure that the force is transmitted efficiently to the target.
PRACTICE AND APPLICATION
Across two discs, this instructional series provides a meticulous breakdown of each of the eight foot skills. Master Du Feihu explains the Form & Applications, showing how to use these kicks in close-quarters fighting. The training includes drills for developing the Brittle and Fast impact required for effective self-defense. Students are taught how to coordinate their footwork with their intent, ensuring that every movement has a martial purpose. By practicing these traditional lineage skills, students develop exceptional lower-body power, coordination, and the ability to take an opponent by surprise with the sophisticated kicking methods of the Natural School.

Master Du Feihu
3rd Generation Successor of the Ziranmen (Natural Style) Lineage
Du Feihu is a distinguished martial artist and a pivotal figure in the 3rd generation of Ziranmen (the Natural Style). Following in the footsteps of the lineage's legendary founders and grandmasters, he has dedicated his life to the preservation of this unique internal system. He is recognized within the martial arts community for his commitment to maintaining the school’s core principles of spontaneity and practicality, ensuring that the legacy of Ziranmen remains intact in the modern era.
Martial Arts Background: Mastery of the "Natural" Path
Du Feihu’s background is rooted in the rigorous and often unconventional training methods of Ziranmen. His mastery encompasses the system’s foundational "Circle Walking" (Aizeng Bu) and the specialized conditioning required to develop the "Natural Power" (Ziran Jing). His training focused on the integration of internal intent and external movement, emphasizing the school’s philosophy of "moving without a fixed form" and the cultivation of explosive, reflexive force that responds naturally to any combat situation.
Legacy and Contribution: Preservation and Lineage Leadership
As a 3rd generation successor, Du Feihu has played a vital role in the transition of Ziranmen from a historically secretive art to a more structured discipline. He has focused on documenting the specific technical requirements and the "Methodless Method" that define the school. Through his teaching, he has mentored a new generation of practitioners, ensuring that the subtle mechanics and combat logic of the lineage are passed down with technical precision while upholding the traditional martial ethics of his predecessors.
Artistic Style: Fluid Spontaneity and Reflexive Power
His style is characterized by the hallmark Ziranmen aesthetic of "softness on the outside, hardness on the inside." His movements are unscripted and highly adaptable, reflecting the principle that the body should react to an opponent as naturally as a shadow follows a form. In his practice, one can observe a lack of rigid posture, replaced by a fluid, continuous motion that conceals sudden, penetrating strikes. His execution embodies the essence of "Natural"—efficient, unpretentious, and devoid of any unnecessary ornamentation.
