Changquan is typically the first martial arts style learned in China by students.
Changquan competitors are among the greatest athletes in the world.
The movements of Changquan are, as the name states, long. Jumps are also a featured movement in Changquan, as some of the most difficult jump kicks are performed. The sounds of a Changquan routine include many slaps, whooshes, and stomps. Changquan was created a few decades ago to make a standardized martial arts form for competition. Therefore, while Changquan is only a few decades old, all of its movements were taken from existing, ancient forms of wushu.
