# Kunlunquan

Kunlunquan (昆仑拳, Kunlun Fist) is a style of Chinese martial arts popular in the province of Guangdong. As it is practiced by the minority Hakka it is considered a Kejiaquan. It was officially included among the styles nanquan, but originated in northern China.

According to the Guangdong Province Chronicle: Sports Chronicle, "The characteristics of Kunlunquan: Fierce, tricky, heaving, floating and sinking, every move is to attack the vital parts. The stakes are higher, exhale, and inhale."
