Tongshan Northern Shaolin Boxing has a long history and originated in the Qing Dynasty. In the 25th year of Emperor Qianlong's reign (1761), Xu Taiqing from Cangzhou, Hebei Province, converted to Shaolin Temple in Songshan, Henan Province, and studied under the monk Tongchan. He practiced Shaolin Boxing for 7 years. He was upright, upheld justice, and eliminated harm for the people. He killed the bully "Luo Yanwang" in Cangzhou. In order to seek refuge, his whole family fled. In the 36th year of Emperor Qianlong's reign (1772), he began to live in seclusion in Jiaoshan, 30 miles southwest of Xuzhou, reclaimed wasteland, and made a living by farming and practicing martial arts. It was not until the sixth generation ancestor Xu Xingwu that the only branch moved to Banjing Village, Hanwang Town, Tongshan District. This boxing was originally passed down within the family and not outside. It was passed down for five generations in the Xu family. It was not passed down until the ancestor Xu Xingwu. It has been passed down to the outside world and has been passed down to this day. There are many disciples, so it is called "Xu-style Northern Shaolin Boxing".

They are also good at attacking from above, making a feint to the east and attacking from the west, feinting to attack but actually retreating, and pretending to retreat but actually attacking, using both the real and the fake, so there is a saying that "if you can't see the shape when you hit, you can't see the shape, and if you can't see the hand when you stretch it out, you can't see the hand, and if you can see the hand, you can't be good." In terms of training methods, "focus on basic skills" and pay attention to "external training of hand, eye, body, method and step, and internal training of clever spirit and spirit."
