Boxer Rebels

At the turn of the 20th century, a secret society known as the Righteous and Harmonious Fists rose up in northern China. Westerners called them “Boxers.”

They practiced martial arts. They believed their bodies were weapons. They believed their spirits were bulletproof.

The Boxers were tired of foreign powers carving up China. They burned missions, tore down telegraph poles, and attacked anyone seen as part of the imperialist machine. What started as local resistance turned into a national uprising.

In 1900, the Qing court backed them. The Boxers laid siege to foreign legations in Beijing for 55 days. Eventually, the rebellion was crushed by an alliance of eight imperialist nations.

This shirt honors them not as victors, but as fighters. People who chose fists over silence.
Not because they thought they would win, but because they refused to bow.
