The 'Fanzi Quan ballad' reads: “Wu Mu has passed down the Fanzi Quan which has mystery in its straightforward movements.” Wu Mu ( – “Majestic Martial”) was a Posthumous name given to Yue Fei after his death. Zhou is often considered a master of this style, not only because of his association with Yue Fei, but also because Fanzi is usually taught in unison with Chuojiao boxing. There is a derivative of the two called Chuojiao Fanzi boxing. Praying Mantis Northern Praying Mantis is an external northern Chinese boxing style known for its Qinna joint-locking and distinctive Tángláng Gōu ( - "praying mantis hook") hand formation. There are many legends surrounding the creation of Northern Praying Mantis boxing. One attributes the creation of Mantis fist to the Song Dynasty when Abbot Fu Ju (), a legendary persona of the historical Abbot Fu Yu () (1203–1275), invited Wang Lang (), the style's founder, and seventeen other masters to come and improve the martial arts of Shaolin.

Historically, this list is erroneous because Emperor Taizu lived in the late 10th century and the Lin Chong and Yan Qing from the Water Margin are fictional characters based in the 12th century. Also, the historical Abbot Fu Yu lived towards the end of the Southern Song Dynasty. Even if the gathering was held then and they had truly existed under their fictional personas, Lin Chong and Yan
