10,000 Victories Spear was created by  Sifu Liu Wan Fu and is therefore the most recently created spear form taught at the 10,000 Victories School of Kung Fu.  Sifu Liu created this form by combining his favorite techniques from all the other Lan Shou spear forms.  The essence of Lan Shou is spear.  Lan Shou contains seven spear forms and only four hand forms.  This reflects Lan Shou’s history as a martial art used by professional body guards and fighters who used the spear for battlefield dominance.  Thus when Sifu Liu created this form he had an intense body of spear knowledge from which to draw.    

Sifu Liu originally created two versions of this form.  One was the traditional combat version with all of the twisting power developing mechanics and slipping evasive angles and footwork included. 

The other was the performance version created for Wushu competition that lacked all of those special characteristics.  As a political expedient and means of livelihood Sifu Liu assisted in the creation of modern Wushu.   The Wushu version was designed for the “A” category of competition.  To compete in the “A” category a performer needed to already have won a first place award at the national level.  In other words it was a form designed only for national champions to compete with!  One of the things that makes this form difficult for Wushu performers is the many solid low traditional stances.  To say this form is difficult is an understatement!
