Description
Huaquan is one of the major northern Chinese Long Fist (Changquan) martial
arts, alongside Chaquan and Paochui. The name 'Hua' (华) means
'magnificent' or 'flowery,' referring to the style's
emphasis on beautiful, extended movements combined with practical combat
techniques. Huaquan features fully extended postures, dynamic footwork, and a
balance of high and low techniques. The canonical curriculum includes ten
progressively-numbered forms (Shi Lu Huaquan). Together with Chaquan, it forms
the 'Cha Hua family' (查华一家) of northern martial arts. Huaquan was one of
the foundational influences on modern competition wushu Changquan.
