A perfect blending of the hard and soft aspects of both tactics and power generation, Sanjianquan incorporates a technique specializing in developing the conditions and application of forearms known as Sanzhan Yunqiao (三展運橋). Practice of this routine allows for the practitioner to gain the fundamental understanding of the Shier Zhiqiao (十二支橋, Twelve Bridges). Combined with stance work, Sanjianquan demonstrates above all else the potential power of the practitioner and its effect in combat.
