Mizongyi (Chinese: 迷蹤藝; pinyin: Mízōngyì; lit. 'Lost Track Skill')[a] is a style of Chinese martial art based on deception and mobility.
As an external northern Chinese style, Mizong belongs to the "Long Fist" family of martial arts although in some traditions Mizongyi is considered an internal art, created by Yue Fei, and taught as a precursor system to xingyiquan. Mizongyi was created by Cheng Juxiao. Cheng learned from his maternal grandfather and mother, both of whom were also practitioners of Mizongyi.[1]
The art began to grow popular in 1901 due to the deeds of Huo Yuanjia, a Mizongyi master.[2] Huo Yuanjia's father, Huo Endi is a 6th-generation successor of Mizongyi.[3]
There are many sub-branches of Mizongyi. One such sub-branch is Mizong Luohan (Chinese: 迷蹤羅漢; pinyin: mízōng luóhàn; lit. 'Lost Track Arhat'), which combines Mizongyi with Luohanquan. Through Luohanquan, its lineage can be traced back to the Shaolin temple during the time of the Tang dynasty.
