According to legend, it was passed down by Ma in Muping County, Shandong during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. The gunman of the Yang family holds the base of the gun, and the gun is very long, and there are some false and true, some strange and right. The advance is sharp, the retreat is swift, the potential is dangerous, the knots are short, it is motionless like a mountain, and moves like thunder. The most wonderful move is to poke once the opponent has gained the upper hand. Once the enemy loses momentum, there will be no chance for him to recover. The base of Yang's spear rests on the two feet, with the body following the feet, the arms following the body, and the wrists following the arms, forming one whole body. Yang's single training routines include Changhe Qiang 32, etc., and sparring routines include 24 Qiang, Bamu Qiang, Liuhe Qiang, Sanzha Diocui, etc.
The Yang Family Spear is recognized as the number one spear in the martial arts world. It is also known as the Pear Blossom Spear because it sways like a pear blossom when dancing. As early as the Ming Dynasty, Qi Jiguang pointed out in the "New Book of Ji Xiao" that "the Yang family gun is unpredictable, infinitely deified, and respected in the world." However, Qi Gong paid attention to the formation. The Yang family's marksmanship system passed down by my family is complete, exquisite and practical, and has its own system.
