Curriculum

Southern Style (Tiger Crane) Kung Fu

SiuLum Studio's Southern Style Kung Fu offers training in the martial arts of the Fujian province of Southeastern China. Our curriculum is based on the Tiger Crane system which combines the two most famous Fujian styles. These systems stress strong and powerful Kung Fu (Tiger) combined with fluid Kung Fu (Crane); a combination that developed into Karate. 

Grandmaster Dr. Steve L. Sun was renowned as a teacher of Fujian Kung Fu. For example, Dr. Sun he was welcomed at the Shaolin Temple to learn qin na (joint locking and pressure points) and was officially registered as a 33rd generation disciple of the Temple.

In addition to the Tiger Crane system and qin na, Siu Lum Studio's curriculum includes other traditional forms, such as Golden Eagle, Cobra Snake, and traditional weapons training. 


Northern Style (Praying Mantis) Kung Fu

Master Paul Sun, Grandmaster Steve Sun's son, developed our Northern Style Kung Fu curriculum using the traditional styles of Praying Mantis, Long Fist, and Monkey as well as the Southern style of Six Harmonies Fist. These styles of Kung Fu emphasize angle of attack and leverage rather than strong, head-on attacks. Traditional weapons training is used to round out physical capability and to understand body mechanics.


Northern Style Kung Fu focuses on expanding the reach of the individual's body in order to generate relaxed, whipping power.  This stretching of body joints and capacity improves overall health and helps prevent injuries and imparts a multi-layered structure of traditional wushu and Kung Fu in which self defense, physical well-being, and expression are all stressed.



Yang Style Tai Chi


Legend  says that Tai Chi began when ancient Chinese monks observed a snake fighting a crane and led them to a system for cultivating and enhancing internal life forces (chi) by practicing and adapting the movements the monks observed.


At the Siu Lum Studio, Tai Chi is "played" in sequences of graceful movements originally adapted by the Yang family of China. Repeated practice of such forms mobilizes chi, promotes "meditation in motion", and builds capacity for self defense. Thus, Tai Chi becomes a aid to better health.
