Nan Shaolin Wuzuquan

Nan Shaolin Wuzuquan is a Traditional Kung Fu style originating from the Shaolin of Southern China, now based in Quanzhou, Fujien Province. The branch of Wuzuquan we practice has its origins with Shizu Chee Kim Thong (photo opposite) and our club is referred to as; Nan Shaolin Wuzuquan - Chee Kim Thong - UK / EUR [Han Jin Yuan].

Nan Shaolin Wuzuquan is a deep and formidable style that combines the best and most useful influences from the following five systems:

• Baihe (Peho)……………..(Fukien White Crane)
• Hou Quan (Kao Kun)…..(Monkey Boxing)
• Taizu (Tai Cho)…………..(Boxing of Emperor Sung Tai Cho)
• Lohan (Lohan)…………..(Lohan Boxing)
• Damo (Tat Chun)………..(Iron body training)

The essence of Wuzuquan is referred to as Sanzhan (Three Battles) and is contained within the first form. There are a series of forms and set routines that supplement and develop the first four principles of; Absorb, Float, Sink, Release. The forms when perfected and applied will enhance the principles within Sanzhan by promoting correct timing, accuracy, distance, footwork, posture and ‘heavy’ technique…

Overview: Partner practice sets are vital to learn and develop the applications from this system. Familiarity with various levels of contact is necessary to develop the application of the skills under pressure. The sets include Partner Catching for the development of; sensing, intent, structure, relaxation, timing, etc. etc. at all levels. There are Conditioning Sets to improve the bodies resistance to hard contact situations. Each of the weapons taught within the system has a sparring set to emphasise distance, timing, accuracy and respect.

Our Grandmaster Kim Sen Han (Shigong Han Jin Yuan), disciple to Grandmaster Chee Kim Thong (Shizu Xu Jin Dong) has written a number of books detailing the martial content, principles, training, tennets of the Wuzuquan System.
