SOUTHERN SHAOLIN &

ANIMAL FORMS

 

 

"At North the legs, at South the hands."

 

While Northern Shaolin is based on wide movements and kicks,

Southern Shaolin is composed by more static positions and

powerful arm's techniques.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Shen Chien school is based principally on Northern Shaolin Quan

and Tai Chi Chuan Yang style, but you can also learn techniques

of Southern Shaolin. The purpose is to learn not only the classical

combat of the Northern Shaolin in wh you keep the opponent at

distance, but also the combat of the Southern Shaolin, better in

situations of short distance between you and your oponent.

We believe that a combat system would be not be complete with

just one kind or the other.

Moreover you'll become effective with your legs, but also with your

arms....
