Southern Fist & Other Wushu
Southern Fist (南拳, Nan Quan) represents one of the most powerful and diverse branches of Chinese martial arts, encompassing a rich family of styles that originated in the provinces south of the Yangtze River — particularly Fujian, Guangdong, and Guangxi. Characterized by low, stable stances, short-range explosive power, powerful arm and bridge techniques, and distinctive vocalizations to focus energy, Southern Fist styles have shaped the martial arts landscape of southern China and the global Chinese diaspora for centuries.
This collection brings together instructional DVDs spanning the major Southern Fist traditions and other classic Wushu disciplines, including:

- Competition Nan Quan — The standardized modern Wushu form recognized in international competition
- Other classical Wushu — A curated selection of additional styles preserving China's martial heritage
