Eagle claw boxing is an animal-imitation style, and was originally called Eagle Claw Fanzi Walking Boxing, Eagle Claw Walking Boxing or Eagle Claw Linking Boxing. By absorbing some techniques of Yue-style boxing, and imitating the grasp of eagle claws and the soaring of it wings, Eagle Claw Fanzi Quan was created from the basic movements of Fanzi Quan. The hands are formed mainly like eagle claws with fists and palms as transitions.

The hand techniques contain grasp, strike, pinch, grab, turn, snap, hook, and brush. Thrust with snap and strike, withdraw with grasp and grab. Grasp and grab the opponent’s wrist, muscle joint, bone joints, and crucial points when fighting. As the proverb of boxing said, “close to his clothing to feel the pulse, separate the muscle and bone, and hit at certain points and shut qi.” The active movements of changquan (Long-style Boxing), such as jumping lotus kick with body turning and butterfly are added to the modern eagle claw. And the big range movements, such as turning into seated stance, turning with bend leg, are added to this Fist to enhance the pictograph and artistry.
