What is Shaolin Nam Pai Chuan
Kung Fu?
When looking for a martial art you are swamped with choices of different styles. We don't envy your selection and the best way to make an informed decision is to do a lot of reading and then visit some classes.
To describe our art as briefly as possible:
"Shaolin Nam Pai Chuan is a broad art that uses a mixture of different techniques for feet and hands, including chin na (joint manipulation) which is usually attached to self defence applications. It is a broad system which includes kicking, punching, locking, throwing, and some ground work. Teaching also involves a variety of the amazing Shaolin animal styles and weapons, more of which are learnt as you progress through the system."
What you will learn in class tends to be quite varied although coming up to grading there is obviously a greater emphasis on forms and the required syllabus work.
The best way to see if our system is right for you is to come and try a class or make an appointment to receive a free gift when you join. This also allows us to meet you, as Sifu will only teach students he feels have the right attitude. We look forward to meeting you!
