Huzun Quan (虎尊拳, Tiger Respecting Boxing), also known as Huxing Quan (虎形拳, Tiger Boxing) and Yongfu Huzun (永福虎尊, Yongfu County Tiger Boxing) is the traditional Tiger boxing method of Fujian province. It is one of the oldest known styles for which the clawing and powerful methods of Tiger have been influenced from. It is said to be the forerunner of the Southern Guangdong styles such as Hung Gar and of the Karate system known as Uechi Ryu. There are many Southern Tiger Systems that have since developed, Yongfu Tiger Boxing is the parent/ancestral style of many of them and it is the most Tiger centric martial art in China.
Huzun Quan is rare outside of China. The style originated in Yongfu (Now known as Yongtai Country, Fuzhou, Fujian Province China) and is thus why it is also called Yongfu Tiger Boxing. It is a powerful and aggressive martial art which focuses on unrelentlessly attacking often maiming opponents with smashing, ripping blows.
