There is a saying "Southern Boxing, Northern Leg" in Kung Fu which we can find that southern boxing is a typical type of quan. There are many movements of upper limbs. There are always several movements by hand with one step which is made firmly and gives people an impression of working steadily. No matter what kind of the movement is, long force or short force, this routine seeks the masculine beauty of braveness and husky which is always played with shouting according to the situation which is used to enhance the force and to boost the morale.

Demonstrator He Qiang was titled the Champion of the world Southern Boxing Championship, the Contemporary King of Southern Boxing.

"Nan Quan", southern style Kung Fu, a composite modern style created in the 60's on other Cantonese styles (Hongjia, Cailifo, Mojia, Caijia, ...)

Nan Quan emphasizes squatting stances with a low center of gravity and steady footwork. Its fist blows are forceful. It is characterized by combinations of short moves with few jumps. Power is generated through breathing and sound articulation. Because southern-style boxers keep their elbows and arms stiff and strong, their movements are powerful and energetic with combating tricks. Now it is a modern wushu demonstration style with no real martial applications per se.
