四路查拳
Zhaquan #4
This is a popular traditional form that is often used in modern wushu competitions without modification, because it is
already an exciting form to watch, with many jumps and acrobatics, as well as graceful and extended movements.
Zhaquan is also quite similar to modern wushu changquan, and so changquan practitioners may find it comparatively easy to switch
over to zhaquan.
This particular form I learned long ago, and forgot sometime between then and now. I have found the names of all
the movements on the Internet, which is helping me to remember the form (that, and YouTube), and so I present them to you as well.
The names of 48 different movements are given below, but in actuality many of them may include multiple movements (up to 6 steps).
Like many forms, it is long and challenging, but includes many tactics and strategies.
