Nan-Quan (Southern-style Fist) has its roots in Southern China and began its development during the Ming Dynasty. Ancient history records this style to have originated at the Southern Shaolin Temple where it later spread to the folk schools of Hung, Choi, Li, Fut and other styles. In China, these styles are referred to under the term Nan-Quan.
Nan Quan is famous for its steady footwork, combined with quick kicks and a variety of powerful close-combat hand techniques. Beginning with the fundamental techniques and forms, practitioners will develop strength, flexibilty and an understanding of its traditional applications. This program is based on the methods used to train professional martial artists in China today.
