[edit] "Techniques" clean up

I realize the two paragraphs under the "Techniques" section requires extensive clean up (i.e. pinyinization of all chinese words, chinese characters for each word, english grammar etc.). I would do it myself, but I just got home from work (9pm-6am) and I am very very very tired.

The info about the techniques and the alternate name "Mandarin Duck Leg" are both from the same site. It is a site which lists Hui Muslim boxing skills. (!Mi luchador nombre es amoladora de la carne y traigo el dolor! 12:41, 16 July 2006 (UTC))

I just remembered something. For a good Chuojiao page click here. (!Mi luchador nombre es amoladora de la carne y traigo el dolor! 13:01, 16 July 2006 (UTC))

Nevermind, I just added newer technique info with better english grammar and overall information. (!Mi luchador nombre es amoladora de la carne y traigo el dolor! 21:49, 16 July 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Origin and History

The history part is incorrect and needs clean-up. The Hebei Martial Art Association has conducted a research in late 1970's and early 1980's on the origin as well as recording the 81 and 108 kicks. The senior martial artists of Tian Li Jiao escaped imprisonment after the failure of their uprising in the 18 years of Emperor Jia Qing and spend some 20 years in the counties of Central Hebei such as Li Xian, Xiao Yang, etc to teach various forms of kicks which eventually consolidated into Chuojiao. The Beijing branch was started by Wu Bin-Lou who was a native of Li Xian. The famous martial artist Li Ru-tong also started learning Zhuojiao when he was a kid in late 1850's, which debuted the claimed origin of this art from Tai Ping Rebellion. This said origin only started after 1949.

I'm not the original author of this page. Although, some of the material in the history section was used from some of my prior articles. The history presented is legendary. However, I doubt this art first came about in 1949 or did you mean "1849". From what I've heard the style is based upon the kicks used by players of a type of soccer game popular back in the Song Dynasty. If its wrong, feel free to update the page. Nobody is stopping you.
