Kicking, Punching, Wrestling and Grappling; Any martial art will use one or a combination of
these. Stance work and traditional foot work sets
train the legs. Iron cage blocking drills are the
method we use for building an iron clad defense,
allowing you to counter at will. Punching trains
the student in the eighteen hands of Shaolim.
Kicking, the legendary Northern leg, emphasizes the
effectiveness of the 64 leg attacks. Chi na and
chin na counters offer 108 ways ( and thousands of
sub-variations) to lock your opponents fingers,
wrists, elbows, shoulders, neck , torso, hips,
knees, ankles, and toes. Shuai Jiao demonstrates
the 36 methods of causing the opponent to fall
down.
The Eight Skills: Hand, Eye, Body, Leg, Breath, Posture, Skills Acquired, Gong fu (time, practice, patience and hard work)

"Build rather than destroy; Avoid rather than check; Check rather than hurt; Hurt rather than maim; Maim rather than kill; For all life is precious; Nor can any be replaced" -Shaolim Monastery Credo
