Is won hop loong chuan a Northern or Southern Chinese style ?
Won hop loong chuan’s evolution included the incorporation and refinement of other arts (both Northern and Southern), as well as original creations by past masters of the art. Since it contains concepts from Northern and Southern styles it is difficult to label it as either. However, outwardly it looks much more like a Southern style (for example, the low powerful stances). Because of this, we sometimes refer to it as a “Central Chinese style”. Although this term is not a standard classification of Chinese arts, we find that it helps to clarify the mix between Northern and Southern ideas.
