Wushu Styles (02)

 

...The majority of routines used in wushu are new, modernized recompilations of traditional routines. However, routines taken directly from traditional styles, including the styles that are not part of standard events, may be performed in competition, especially in China. These routines generally do not garner as many points as their modern counterparts, and are performed in events separate from the compulsory routine events. Among these, the more commonly seen routines include:

 

  • Baguazhang (八卦掌) - Eight-Trigrams Palm
  • Bajiquan (八極拳) - Eight Extremes Fist/Boxing
  • Chaquan (查拳) - Cha Fist/Boxing
  • Chuojiao (戳腳) - Poking Feet
  • Ditangquan (地躺拳) - Ground-Prone Fist/Boxing
  • Fanziquan (翻子拳) - Overturning Fist/Boxing
  • Houquan (猴拳) - Monkey Fist/Boxing
  • Huaquan (華拳) - Hua Fist/Boxing
  • Paochui (炮捶) - Cannon Punch
  • Piguaquan (劈掛拳) - Chop-Hitch Fist/Boxing
  • Shequan (蛇拳) - Snake Fist/Boxing
  • Taijiquan (太极拳) - Supreme Ultimate Fist/Boxing
  • Tantui (弹腿)- Spring Leg
  • Tanglanghushi (螳螂虎势) - Praying Mantis and Tiger Style
  • Tanglanquan (螳螂拳) - Praying Mantis Fist/Boxing
  • Tongbeiquan (通背拳) - Through-the-Back Fist/Boxing
  • Wing Chun (Yongchuquan) (永春)
  • Xingyiquan (形意拳) - Shape-Intent Fist/Boxing
  • Yingzhaoquan (鷹爪拳) - Eagle Claw Fist/Boxing
  • Zuiquan (醉酒拳) - Drunken Fist/Boxing

 

To find out more about these styles you can look in the section about kung fu, for we have tried to divide modern wushu and the more traditional Žkung-fuŽ styles...
