Baak San Kuen
 Baak San Kuen is a
style of Kung-Fu which is a combination of inner Chi and outer Chi, and contains Taoist ideas of Yin and
Yang principles. This style uses the leg and hip movements of Tai Chi and the
arm movements of Shaolin
Temple but, like Tai
Chi, kicking is only about hip height. Unlike Tai Chi, there are many types
of kicks. Also like Tai Chi, the stances are all the same which makes it
very suitable for those who are learning Tai Chi but wish to learn
self-defence more quickly. Whereas Tai Chi can take up to 15 years to learn before it
becomes usable for self-defence, this style only takes 7 years to learn completely. It
also helps to improve the Tai Chi a great deal.
Over the past years some students, while training in Tai Chi and later on teaching others, have
also wanted to learn our Shaolin Kung-Fu system. But it was too robust and
too physically energetic. This system which is easy to learn and less
energetic, finds its roots in Wu
Dang temple systems. It is a fast, short to medium, system
that uses hands and legs equally.
It has walking sets which strengthen stances and legs; breathing sets, some
of which teach Dim Mak (nerve strikes), Hay Gong (Chi Gong) breathing;
kicks and weapons such as Staff, Butterfly Knives, Broadsword etc.
I would like to thank Chen Huan
who taught me his sets from his style, Tin Sin who taught me his. We hope that students
who complete this system will then go on to learn Tai Chi Chuan or Praying
Mantis Kung-Fu.

"Empty
yourself of everything. Maintain a steady serenity. All things take shape
and become active, but I see them return to their source, like vegetation that
grows and flourishes, but returns to the root from which it springs." - Lao zu
