Chang Quan Basic 2 - Wushu Tutorial Long Fist HD

This video illustrates the basic combative principles in elementary level Wushu Chang Quan known as Long Fist in English. Long Fist or Chang Quan in Chinese, is a form of long range attack and defense techniques which evolved from Northern Shaolin Kung Fu. The martial art includes various fighting applications useful in combat. These basic strikes may include punching, kicking, elbow goring, grabbing, pulling, pushing, and takedowns. During normal practice, athletes train the legs through various stances that include the horse stance, forward stance, drop stance, cross stance, and cat stance. When practiced regularly and properly, students can develop great strength, speed, and dexterity. Elementary Wushu is the first level in achieving success in contemporary Chinese Martial Arts. In order to pave a viable foundation for beginning students, the International Wushu Federation compiled an essential curriculum for everyone to follow. The first level is accomplishing the 6 basic Wushu Long Fist ( Chang Quan ) combinations. These 6 basic combinations will serve as the building blocks for all further levels of contemporary Long Fist. Combination 2 introduces the crane hook hand and push palm technique, in addition to the palm frame defensive maneuver. Begin by stepping into a strong forward lunge stance and push palm. Transfer all of the weight from the forward stance all the way onto the back leg and sink into a drop stance. This training will help to build strong and powerful legs. Practicing Wushu Basics with strong sturdy stance work will strengthen the legs enormously. From the drop stance, hook with one hand and push with the other while transferring all of the weight from the drop stance into the forward stance. Finish the combination with a palm frame technique. One palm will protect the ribs and arm pit, while the other palm protects the head and face.
