Shaolin Kung Fu Styles
Hou
Quan (Monkey Boxing)
The Shaolin 'Hou Quan'
('Monkey Boxing') style is a playful style, that is known for its
acrobatic movements. The monkey style is usually taught to young
children, while it consists of a lot of 'gymnastic', which is very
good for the development of soupleness and agility.
In the monkey style the
stick (called 'Gun' in Chinese) is also used a lot. The monkey
stick is spectacular to watch, because the performer uses
acrobatic movements, like climbing in the stick.
