Other Influences

These Kung Fu systems made secondary contributions to our synthesis curriculum.

Ta Shen Men

Liao Wu Chang, known as the “Monkey King” was a famous boxer in the southern tradition. Liao, like most masters, studied and taught many styles of martial arts. Much of his curriculum was similar to Fukien White Crane, but his personal method of boxing was called Stone Killer Money.

Han Ching Tang Chin Na

Han Ching Tang taught a synthetic boxing method focusing primarily on chin na technique.

Baoding Shuai Chiao

Chang Tung Shen was perhaps the most famous Chinese Wrestler of the 20th century. His method was taught at the Central Police Academy in Taiwan. Chang blended Tai Chi and other arts with his Shuai Chiao.

Jun Fan Kung Fu - Jeet Kune Do

Christopher Casey studied Bruce Lee’s methods with Taky Kimura and Dan Inasonto, eventually becoming Taky Kimura’s senior student. In keeping with art’s original formulation, we do not refer to these methods as a ‘style.’

Shaolin Temple Boxing

Many of Mr. Casey’s teachers were proficient in multiple styles of kung fu, including Shaolin methods. The term Shaolin can denote a vast assortment of martial arts styles, but traditionally the art is thought embodied by the famous five animals: tiger, leopard, snake, dragon, and crane. Solid stance work and physical conditioning are two of the major contributions of Shaolin boxing to our curriculum.

Ging Bao Gong Ka

Special Action Service Group, or SASG, is a collection of self-defense techniques taught to the Taiwanese secret police. These methods include unarmed, knife, cane, and stick self-defense techniques.

Liu Ho Pa Fa

Tao Ping Siang, best known for his Yang Tai Chi Chuan, actually studied many styles of martial arts. His Water Boxing came from Wu Yi Hui.
