PIGUAQUAN: CHOP-HANGING FIST
Wow, those are some big arm movements. Fast too! Piguaquan, the Chop-Hanging Fist, is a visually impressive style characterized by long range chopping strikes, often delivered with palms, which is why the art is sometimes referred to as Piguazhang, meaning Chop-Hanging Palm.
Piguaquan has a close relationship to Bajiquan, The Eight-Extremes Fist, which it complements. In fact, it is often stated that Piguaqan and Bajiquan were at one point two halves of the same art. Piguaquan is a broad, longer-range art; Bajiquan is an explosive, shorter-range art. Together, they complement each other.
The "Pi" in Piguaquan is said to refer to chopping strikes with the palm. The "Gua" in Piguaquan is said to refer to strikes using the back of the hand.
Below are some links and videos for forms and applications of Piguaquan. Also, I am providing two links for those who are interested in reading more information about the art.
