南拳簡介

又稱南方拳,是明代以來流行於南方的拳種的總稱。它以福建、廣東為中心,廣泛流傳於長江以南地區,故稱南拳。

南拳作為南少林等拳種與中國南方各地拳種相結合的產物,技術套路繁多,遍佈各省。由於歷史悠久,再加上師承關係的演變,形成了多種打法,但多數套路仍具有同一特點,總屬南拳。

其共同特點是:套路短小精悍,結構緊湊,動作樸實,手法多變,短手連打,步法穩健,攻擊勇猛,常伴以聲助威,技擊性強。南拳講究樁功,以練坐樁為主,還有丁樁、跪樁等。

Introduction to Nanquan

Nanquan refers to any style or school of martial arts found in Southern China, namely the Yangtze River Basin. Originating from Southern Shaolin martial arts, Nanquan started to develop into its own class of martial arts in the Ming dynasty.

Nanquan usually puts great emphasis on firm stances, powerful fists, and strong momentum. Leaps are rare, while short-range punches are common; an important Nanquan technique is to use one’s voice and vital energy to transmit power outwards.

Cantonese Nanquan is representative of the Nanquan style. The most influential branches of Cantonese Nanquan are the “Five Famous Schools”: Hung Gar, Lau Gar, Choy Gar, Li Gar & Mok Gar
