This is a clip of Fujian Dishu Quan (Fujian Ground Boxing), also known as Fujian Gou Quan (Dog style). The second name is not very glamourous so people usually call it Ground Boxing. It's full of ground fighting techniques that focuses on kicks, rolling and sweeps. It's a very demanding style and I liken it to learning breakdancing. It'll build up the body tremendously. I would have love dto learn this kungfu style when I was young. I think the physical attributes one would build up training this will carry over to almost any other nartial arts styles in the future. I also think the ground fighting techniques themselves are worth to learn. It's totally different than what is thought of groundfighting these days with the dominance of BJJ but I think it can be useful. In fact I've seen afew Japanese shooto fighting rolling around, doing leg sweeps and kicks from the ground that could have come out from Fujian Ground Boxing. At the very least you can start doing a form on the dance floor and look cool :D
