Nan Gun
Nan
Gun means Southern Stick. It's one of the 'long' weapon routines in wushu. The
Nan Gun routine has, like the southern broadsword (Nan Dao), only been added to
the wushu competition a few years ago. It has more agressive moves than the Gun
Shu stick routines.

The
Nangun (Chinese:
南棍; pinyin: nángùn;
literally "southern staff") is a southern variation of the "northern
staff", which is nowadays used mostly in contemporary wushu exercises and
forms.
The Nanquan event in contemporary
wushu competition refers to the Nanquan method of using the staff.
