title: Intercepting-Hand Circle (截手圈) — Six-Harmony Mantis
---

**截手圈 (Jié Shǒu Quān, "Intercepting-Hand Circle")** is the **fourth core sequence** of [**Six-Harmony Praying Mantis**](https://wulin.openmindspace.org/six-harmony-mantis) (張詳三 line). It is the branch's **circular intercepting** form — cutting off the incoming hand on a circle rather than a line — and it carries the branch's own **六合翻車 (six-harmony rolling wheel)**, paired with the wipe-eyebrow hand (抺眉) and the dragging hooks (拖鈎).

## What it trains

- **Circular interception (截手圈)** — meeting and turning the attack on a circle
- **六合翻車** — the branch's rolling-wheel turnover
- **抺眉手 (wipe-the-eyebrow hand)** — the across-the-brow strike/cover
- **圈捲捶 (circling-rolling punch)** and 底漏 — the form's percussive answers

## Full posture script — 27 postures

The posture-name list (截手圈) 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 **六合拳**. This is the fourth of the six. All six core sequences share the same closing run: **進步跺腳 → 破膝 → 掛耳圈**.
