苏家拳的传奇历史可以追溯到明朝正德年间（大约公元1506年），由一位杰出的武术家舒裁缝在河南创立。他的弟子苏金财和苏金祥将这门拳法带到了四川，并经过长时间的刻苦训练和不断改进， eventually creating the distinctive style of Su Jiaquan. By the end of the Qing dynasty, a renowned martial artist named Peng Xiaoxin, also known as Peng Shui Lao Liu, learned Su Jiaquan in his hometown of Rongchang and later became a celebrated figure after passing the martial arts examination. He taught Su Jiaquan to many students in Rongchang, making it a popular style at that time.

Peng Xiaoxin was the 23rd generation inheritor of Su Jiaquan. He passed on his knowledge to Chen Zizhuang, Peng Youqi (family heir), Cheng Butong, Yang Chengzhi and others who were part of the 24th generation. The 25th generation included inheritors such as Peng Yinfeng, Peng Yinxi (both family heirs), Liao Zhenglun and Cao Yiguo who learned from Chen Zizhuang and others.

The main characteristics of Su Jiaquan include proper posture, clear distinction between punches and palms, wide range movements with an emphasis on close combat techniques like "clinging" or "covering". It is known for its unique footwork patterns such as "fast step" which enables practitioners to quickly change positions during fights. Additionally, this style emphasizes combining punching with elbow strikes while focusing on six different body postures (shens) and leg techniques (liu jiao). This results in unpredictable attacks where opponents may not see incoming kicks until it's too late.

Over time through generations' continuous refinement and adaptation to local conditions，Su Family Fist has become one among several well-known styles within China's rich cultural heritage with stories waiting to be discovered by those eager for adventure into ancient history's mystique realm., 蕴含着深厚的文化底蕴和独特的技艺精髓。
