Jiao Men Changquan

Changquan is characterized by wide open sweeping arm and fist movements, low stances and high kicks. The high kicks are actually for practice not for fighting.

​

Changquan is an excellent exercise to promote good health. The system encourages strong stances, straight backs and relaxed supple waists and shoulders. Its practitioners derive much of their strength from their courage. It provides the strongest foundation for learning weapons. One important feature of Changquan that others have adopted, is its honesty and spirit. The attitude that the bravest and boldest will win, always inspires confidence in the martial artist.

​

Changquan is taught as a minor style to help introduce basic kung fu principles to those who are new to Chinese martial arts. New students start to learn the Tan Tui form and can later move on to learn Paoquan (Cannon Boxing).
