Captain Jack Sparrow may be the swashbuckler of the Caribbean, but he would have met some formidable opposition centuries ago had he steered into the ancient watertown of Zhujiajiao in what is today Shanghai's suburban Qingpu District.The unchallenged champions of pirate adventure back then were masters of a form of Chinese martial arts called chuanquan (船拳), or boat boxing.This somewhat unusual combat technique has origins dating back more than 300 years. It is a branch of the southern school of Shaolin-style boxing.
