the rum soaked fist: internal martial arts forum

I only know of two that has the nickname of Divine Spear or 神枪 in chinese martial arts world;
and the two would be:
1) 姬际可 (Ji JiKe), from Yongji, Shanxi
2) 李书文 (Li ShuWen), from Nan Liang Village, Cang Zhou

if you know of any others,
please let me know thanks

Wang Hunglou, but he wasn't called 'Divine Spear" because of his skill with a qiang.

Wang Hunglou? Seriously?

LOL!

Afaik, Li Shuwen was called "Divine Spear" or "God Spear" in Taiwan. But, John Wang would probably know.

Only Yue Fei qualifies to be called Divine Spear 神枪

I don't know about qualifies. I just remember that Li Shuwen was given the name. Here's something about it:

Also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li_Shuwen

For awhile in China I went Wang Da Hong. No one ever got the joke. They just said it was a "very patriotic name."

Thanks, dunno how i missed that

What about Wang Zhongjin 王仲錦 (1580 - 1679), the probable founder of the Wangbaoqiang system, having learnd from Dong Bingqian 董秉乾?

吴钟， 八极宗师 (1732 - 1822)
Meng Village, Cang zhou
walks in and out of Shaolin, 3 times, as he pleases with his spear

If I recall correctly, Li Shuwen may have been the third in his Baji lineage to be given the Big Spear title.

Google translates 神枪 as "Gunslinger"

the way i see it he/she must:
a) able to do feats humanly not possible with the spear (hence "divine")
b) leave others with mouths wide open, stunned speechless at what they just witnessed, AND
c) their witness HAD to add "Divine Spear" to the master's name, otherwise it does not fully describe how stunned
they were when they witness the crazy.

cheers
