Tien Shan Pai Style Kung Fu and Self Defense
Build Strength, Improve Flexibility, Improve Discipline, Increase Focus, and Learn Self Defense Techniques through applications of movements.
Tien Shan Pai originated in the Tien Shan Mountains of Northern China, by Taoist monks approximately 1,000 years ago. The techniques were developed through the careful analysis of animal fighting. Thus, the Tien Shan Pai system embodies forms such as Praying Mantis and Monkey vs. Crane. Tien Shan Pai is well-known due to its practicality in terms of fighting and the graceful nature of each movement.
The Tien Shan Pai system teaches students to attack only on the attack. Attacks are comprised of swift circular movements rather than the linear fighting seen in other martial art forms. Practitioners of Tien Shan Pai will achieve the ultimate level of self defense, self-control, focus and intent.
Through healthy bodies, evolved spirits and disciplined minds, Kung-Fu students quickly learn the inherent value of the martial arts. For more information on where and how Tien Shan Pai originated, visit the Tien Shan Pai Organization homepage.
