Long fist ( chan-chuan ) is the general name for Wushu styles using “long effort” — chan-ching — with full extension of the arm upon impact and an additional turn of the shoulders to lengthen the distance of the strike. As a rule, such styles engage in long-distance combat, and to keep a distance, both rapid movements on the basis of the “ one step - one hit ” principle and combinations of blows of hands and feet are often used, with frequent changes in attack levels and stance height. Jump kicks are widely used.

History
Chan Quan was finally formed from such styles as Cha Quan, Hua Quan, Pigua Quan, Tantui Quan and others, during the reign of Mao Zedong in the People's Republic of China , when it became necessary to combine and standardize Wushu styles to effectively teach them in schools and institutes. Moreover, in antiquity in China there was a style called chanquan, which formed the basis of modern; but he is known to us only by description [1] .
Often the name "long fist" is used as a synonym for northern Wushu styles. The division of Wushu styles into “long fist” and “ short fist ” was introduced by Qi Jiguan and Cheng Zongfu during the Ming Dynasty , and meant styles leading to distant and near distance. Currently, the term “long fist” is still widely used as a classifier of styles, while the term “short fist” is used very limitedly.
According to an alternative version, chan chuan - Wushu styles, either common in the area of the "long river" - Changjiang (another name for the river - the Yangtze ), or simply using long and continuous movements, that is, " long and continuous, like the Changjiang river ." In this case, the name “long fist” is actually a synonym for taijiquan , and also applies to various styles that have plastic movements similar to taijiquan .
- the abbreviated name of the tai chi chan chuan complex of the Cheng style (another complex is called tai chi pao chui ), also known as the 108 forms of tai chi chuan.
- one of the names of the style of san-shi-qi quan / san-shi-qi shi quan (literally "37 forms"), attributed to Xu Xuanping and considered the forerunner of 13 basic forms of taijiquan (8 basic techniques and 5 movements).
- one of the names of the Xian-Tien Quan style (“fist of the old heaven ”), attributed to Li Daoji and considered one of the predecessors of Taijiquan . Another predecessor is considered to be the “fist of the next heaven ” - hou-tian quan (also known as hou-tian-fa and hou-tian fa-shi ), attributed to Hu Jintzi or Song Zhongshu .
Feature
Chanquan is characterized by an emphasis on leg technique. At the same time, in Pigua Quan they are not so much kicked as they are continuously attacked with their hands. A characteristic feature of the “long fist” is the predominance of wide-amplitude swing attack strokes over defense. Applied acrobatics have been added to modern chanquan.
A similar principle of lengthening a blow is applied in savat when striking with a foot (but not with a hand) and is its visiting card that distinguishes it from kickboxing . What is interesting, both the northern styles of Wushu and Savat are famous for their foot technique.
