Ditangquan, alternatively referred to as "Ground Tumbling Boxing" or "Ground Pounding Boxing," is an ancient Chinese martial art with traditional origins. Dynamic acrobatic movements, powerful strikes, throws, joint locks, and ground combat techniques are its defining characteristics.

The term "ditang," which translates to "ground pounding" or "ground tumbling," underscores the significance placed on close-range combat and methodologies executed on the ground. In order to fight and defend themselves effectively in close quarters, ditangquan practitioners are frequently instructed to execute ground-based maneuvers, rolls, and flips to elude attacks and counter their opponents.

Proponents of this art form must possess exceptional strength, dexterity, and flexibility in order to execute swift and fluent movements on both their feet and the ground. In general, Ditangquan is widely recognized for its technical prowess, acrobatic capabilities, and pragmatic approach to self-defense.

In China and other countries, it is practiced both as a traditional martial art and as a competitive sport today. .
