Wa Lu

Wa Lu is a rare family system in the southern tradition. The art is probably a derivative of Fukien Boxing. Christopher Casey learned Wa Lu from a man named Pa Ka who had a small school on the island of Macao. The heart of the art is a set of drills called Energy Exercises which focus on developing a unitary body state.

Wa Lu is sometimes called “The Bridge Art” because it assists the practitioner in moving from a segmented to unitary body state. Forms, weapons, mook training, conditioning, applications, and kong sao round out the curriculum, but all are considered secondary to the Energy Exercises.
