Duan Quan, also known as Short-Range Boxing, is a form of kung fu practiced primarily in the Hebei Province of China. It is a short-range style created specifically for combat. The founder of this art is unknown except that it evolved more than four hundred years ago. Movements are well connected and fist techniques follow in quick succession often with sudden changes. Practitioners of Duan Quan rarely jump or leap. The Duan Quan fighter moves around to avoid the opponent's attack and then moves in close to deliver multiple counter-attacks.
