Gǒuquán (狗拳), i.e.
Dìshùquán (地术拳), is a
martial arts style native to
Fujian province
China. While sharing many similar features to styles like Wuzuquan, Huzunquan, and many others from the same region, this southern style of Chinese boxing has the unique feature of specializing in
takedowns,
Chin Na, and
ground fighting while often taking advantage of utilizing techniques from an inferior position. This martial art also teaches
Iron Shirt and
Iron Palm fighting methods as well as specialized leaping techniques. Its creation is traditionally credited to a
Buddhist nun who developed the style to defend herself from bandits on her travels.
