醉拳 pinyin: zuì quán

also known as Drunken Fist, is a general name for all styles of Chinese martial arts that imitate the movements of a drunk person.

It is an ancient style and its origins are mainly traced back to the Buddhist and Daoist religious communities.

The Buddhist style is related to the Shaolin temple while the Daoist style is based on the Daoist tale of the drunken Eight Immortals.

Zui quan has the most unusual body movements among all styles of Chinese martial arts.

Hitting, grappling, locking, dodging, feinting, ground and aerial fighting and all other sophisticated methods of combat are incorporated.
