Two Kungfu Styles You've Never Seen Before

Two extremely unique but also practical styles of kungfu that have developed in the past. Let's examine and think about why we would need these two styles. In this episode, let's look at San Quan (伞拳) also known as Umbrella Kungfu, and Chuan Quan (船拳) also known as Boat Kungfu. Have you heard or seen these styles of kungfu before? If so, let us know how you found out about them and whether you practice them. Send us clips anytime of you practicing them!

Here are some of the clips that we used to analyze and critique (I added more information due to a great question by Karate Nerd Jess):
For the Umbrella Kungfu
The first clip was from Coach Weng. The title is 南少林五祖雨伞拳，灵敏，实用的传统武术. Coach Weng has been doing Five Ancestors Kungfu since age 5.
The second clip was from a kungfu artist in Hunan, the clip is called 德哥说酒：酿酒养生操——伞拳
