Fan Zi Quan
The kicking system fan zi quan contains both "hard" and "soft" power techniques. The routines and set forms focus on hand techniques, punches, and jumps, and the wide range of flowing and tumbling punches, many of which come from unusual angles, is particularly effective.
A typical fan zi quan routine involves quickfire combinations of Offensive and defensive manoeuvres ending with short bursts of punches that are thrown from unusual angles and are aimed at the opponent's body.
Boxing techniques
Fan zi quan includes a number of uppercuts similar to those found in Western boxing. These uppercuts are delivered if the opponent closes his guard and crouches down in a protective manner and are followed by head punches and lower-body punches. Two common branches of fan zi quan are practiced today-one in the northeast of China and the other in the northwest. Although both bear a strong resemblance to each other, the latter focuses on force drawn from the waist, whereas the style from the northeast tends to focus on a strong surging power coupled with the technical ability to perform all techniques at speed.
The system's motto can be translated as: "Two fists are fast like the falling raindrops and fast like a slapping whip."
Shuai Jiao
Shuai jiao is the most ancient of all Chinese martial arts, with a history of over 4,000 years-its first recorded use came in 2697 BCE. It is a throwing and grappling system that has probably been influenced by kyukl bokh. In its earliest form it was known as "jiao di" or "horn butting"; the soldiers would wear headgear with horns, which they would use to gore their opponents while fighting. Later, it became an art form practiced without the headgear, and finally became a public sport during the Qin dynasty (221-207 BCE), during which time winners of national competitions won the right to serve as one of the emperor's bodyguards.
Modern-day shuai jiao
Today, the art is commonly taught in police and military institutions in both China and Taiwan, and many of the techniques used in the ancient battlefields are still employed today, including seizing and grabbing maneuvers, joint locks, and pressure-point holds. Although some of the unique lock-breaking throws have been banned during competition, it still remains a tactical and deadly combat art incorporating vigorous snapping actions from the hips that result in eyecatching and dramatic moves.
Go-Ti Boxing
Primarily a wrestling system, the style of combat known as go-ti boxing came into being in approximately 2600 BCE. At the same time, religious practitioners were developing a physical and mental training regime called "cong fu." Both arts eventually became associated with Daoist monks and, over the years, eventually fused into one system. As many Daoist monks are experts in the system, most practitioners also follow Daoism. Many believe go-ti boxing to be a precursor to modern kung fu martial arts.

Yiquan, Martial Art $68.51 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Yi quan, also known as dacheng quan, is a martial art system which was founded by the Chinese xingyiquan master, Wang Xiangzhai. Having studied xingyiquan with Guo Yunshen in his childhood, Wang Xiangzhai travelled China, meeting and comparing skills with masters of various styles of kung fu. In the mid1920s, he came to the conclusion that xingyiquan was often taught wrong, with too much emphasis on outer form, neglecting the essence of true martial power. He worked to return to what he felt was the true essence of the art using a different name, without the xing (meaning form), and began teaching and practicing accordingly.

Japan's Ultimate Martial Art $24.95 Predecessor of Judo and precursor of today's ultimate fighting styles, Jujitsu is a martial art developed by the elite samurai class during Japan's feudal days. For centuries, this method of unarmed self-defense proved so successful in combat that it was kept secret and taught to a select few. Based on the author's study with instructors of the Tokyo police department, this book features the traditional techniques of Jujitsu, also known as Ju-Jiutsu. Chapter by chapter, it addresses and demonstrates Kaisho Goshin Budo Taiho Jitsu Ryu (Tokyo police/ self-defense/ martial way/ body techniques). Specific techniques covered include the use of hands, throwing an opponent, attacking vital points with strikes and kicks, and the use of weapons such as the staff. Though designed to accompany training, this fascinating book also serves as a remarkable illustrated guide to the secret art of samurai self-defense. |

Muslim Chinese Martial Arts $86.03 Muslim Chinese martial arts have a long history in China, and many Muslims have participated at the highest level of Chinese martial arts. However, the Qing Dynasty persecutions greatly stimulated the practise of martial arts among Chinese Muslims. The Hui started and adapted many of the styles of wushu such as Bajiquan, Piguaquan, Liu He Quan, and other styles. There were specific areas known to be centers of Muslim martial arts, such as Cang County in Hebei Province. These traditional Chinese martial arts were very distinct from the Turkic styles practised in Xinjiang.
