Zui Quan (,
drunken fist) is a general name for all the
styles of Chinese martial arts that imitate a drunkard. It is an ancient style and its origins are mainly traced back to the famous
Buddhist and
Daoist sects. The Buddhist style is related to the
Shaolin temple while the Daoist style is based on the Daoist tale of the drunken
Eight Immortals. Zui quan has the most unusual body movements among all
styles of Chinese martial arts. Hitting, grappling, locking, dodging, feinting, ground and aerial fighting and all other sophisticated methods of combat are incorporated.
