Fanziquan (Chinese: 翻子拳; pinyin: fānziquán; lit. 'Rotating fist') is a Chinese martial art that emphasizes offense and defense with the hands. Its movements have been described as:

Two fists are fast like the falling rain drops, and fast like a snapping whip.

Fanziquan routines are usually quite short and very fast.
