Meihuaquan, Mei Hua Zhuang or "Plum Flower Fist Boxing" is a Chinese martial art combining both internal and external styles of Kung Fu. As an external style, it is an effective self defence method that features five static positions intermixed with dynamic motion comprised of light, rapid footwork and large flowing movements. The internal element is found in simple expansive stature and poise that releases and strengthens the flow of energy to expand and free the mind. Remarkably, the basic training methods of Mei Hua Zhuang are simple yet relaxing and powerful.
This art originated in northern China perhaps as early as 2,000 years ago. It uses low stances with powerful kicks and Chin Na. It includes many different weapons forms, including swords, lance, and staff. There is an emphasis on qi development, including Qigong.
