Program and Content Description

Chang Quan is a basic and required form. Its movements are simple and easy to learn. It is an ideal course for a new hand.

Instructor demonstrator and instructor of this program is Li Hui, professional Wushu coach.

"Chang Quan," many styles have the name as it can refers to a long form (more than 50 techniques), is a long range form (strategy based on long range fighting) or a long history (like that style supposedly created by Emperor Taizu, 927-976 AD). Also there is a modern creation of the Nanjing National Martial Arts Institute with that name, it is mainly a compilation of many northern styles or forms (Tantui, Lianbu, Bengbu, Gongli, ...) and is sometimes even called northern Shaolin quan or Shaolin quan! There is also a compilation of Moslem styles (Cha quan, Hua quan, Pao quan and Hong Quan ) made in 1956 and which became very popular, from this Chang quan a "modern wushu demonstration style" has been created, with very low stances, very long techniques and pretty acrobatic motions. Very beautiful but quite unrealistic in applications.
