Duanquan, also known as short-range boxing,[citation needed] is a form of kung fu practiced primarily in the Hebei province of China.

[1] A highly-dynamic and combat-oriented martial art, duanquan focuses on short and compact routines, low stances, and quick movements.

Students are taught to be highly mobile, in order to keep the opponent disoriented and unable to attack.

They also use simple and sudden moves and the techniques are executed smartly, wasting no energy.

By practicing duanquan, students improve their physique as well as sharpen their instincts and skills in close-range combat.
