         The Eight-Trigram Boxing , originally named Palm Turning Boxing , Body Shifting Eight Trigram Boxing and Interlocked Eight Trigram Boxing , is characterized by changing positions of the palms and changing paces, somewhat resembling the Eight Trigrams in the “Book of Changes”. Its fighting principle is the “combination of attack and defense” . It stresses the stratagem : “I move before my opponent moves ,halt before my opponent halts ; when my opponent attacks , I defend ; when my opponent exhausts himself , I keep energetic ; when my opponent retreats , I advance ; when my opponent moves , I watch my opponent while he is moving , and discover and make use of opportunities ; when my opponent is near , I attack him; I extricate myself and then attack my opponent , and while my opponent is not moving, I move.” In fine, the stratagem prefers sidewise attack to frontal assail.
　　The Eight-Extreme Boxing has the full name of “Open the Door Eight-Extreme Boxing” and another name of “Mount-Yue-Eight-Extreme Boxing”. Open the Door means the six methods of breaking open the opponent’s “door” (defense posture) . This boxing is called “Eight-Extreme” ,because there was an ancient assumption that “Beyond the nine continents exist eight extremes” , indicating a very far-away place . It is called “Mound Yue” , because it is alleged that it originated from Mount Yue Temple in Jiaozuo city of Henan province .
　
　　The core of the technique of the Eight-Extreme Boxing comprises the Six Openings and the Eight Moves , viz ., the Eight Extreme Defence , the Eight Extreme Hitting , the Six Elbowing , the Eight Extreme Firmness , the New Eight Extreme Defence , and the Eight Extreme Double tracks ; and the six-direction confrontations with weapon . Power is exerted for bursting , shaking , breaking in , hitting , approaching , stabbing , squeezing , leaning , bumping and twining . It is characterized by concise , alternative long and short swift , bumping and twining moves , repeated elbowing and firm foothold . After the founding of the People’s Republic of China , with the development of martial arts , it has been listed as a national athletic event .
