Six-Harmony Fist (六合拳) — Six-Harmony Mantis

六合拳 (Liùhé Quán, "Six-Harmony Fist" — also 六合雙錦拳) is a compact 20-posture set of Six-Harmony Praying Mantis (張詳三 line), recorded in Zhang Xiangsan's 六合拳釋義. A short, complete routine — throat-lock fist (鎖口拳), cross chop (十字劈), linked chopping (連環劈), the snapping-and-kicking answers — closing on 童子拜觀音 ("the boy worships Guanyin").

What it trains

• A compact whole — the six-harmony method in twenty postures

• 鎖口拳 (throat-lock fist) — the branch's seizing entry as a fist

• 連環劈 / 十字劈 — linked and cross chopping

• 童子拜觀音 — the quiet closing posture

Full posture script — 20 postures

The posture-name list (六合拳 / 六合雙錦拳) from the 張詳三 (Zhang Xiangsan) → 陳威伸 Taiwan Six-Harmony lineage, as published on the lineage site 6h-mantis.org, reproduced under fair-use citation; the English are the wiki's own working glosses. Six-Harmony movement names are descriptive and run longer than the tight four-character Seven-Star style.

Place in the curriculum

The 張詳三 Taiwan line teaches its empty-hand art as six core sequences (六趟) — 鐵齒 · 善手奔 · 鏡裡藏花 · 截手圈 · 葉底藏花 · 雙封 — alongside 六合短捶 and this 六合拳 — a short, self-contained routine recorded in Zhang Xiangsan's 六合拳釋義. The six core sequences each share the same closing run: 進步跺腳 → 破膝 → 掛耳圈.
