Nangun
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nangun (Chinese: 南棍; pinyin: nángùn; lit. 'southern staff') is a variation of the application of the "gun" (northern Chinese staff), which is an event in competitive wushu taolu.[1] It is based on staff techniques emanating from Southern Chinese martial arts (nanquan).[2] Its movements stress hitting, in contrast to the cutting and swinging techniques of the northern staff.
