Kunlunquan

Kunlunquan (昆仑拳, Kunlun Fist) is a style of Chinese martial arts popular in the province of Guangdong. As it is practiced by the minority Hakka it is considered a Kejiaquan. It was officially included among the styles nanquan, but originated in northern China. It was handed down in 1880 by Huang Huilong (黄辉龙) or feilong Huang (黄飞龙), a native of Jinan in the province of Shandong. Shuangqing Huang, a practitioner of this style today, is considered sixty seventh generation, witness to what is considered ancient style.

Writing in Landtai World: Early Years, Xinyang Normal University scholar Zhang Xiang said about Kunlunquan, "Its boxing characteristics are free and easy when defending, and deadly and fierce when attacking." According to the Guangdong Province Chronicle: Sports Chronicle, "The characteristics of Kunlunquan: Fierce, tricky, heaving, floating and sinking, every move is to attack the vital parts. The stakes are higher, exhale, and inhale."
