Extractions: If someone says the word "kung fu," what images leap to mind? Bruce Lees cinematic fists of fury dispatching dozens of Japanese bad guys? Jet Lis ballet-like dance of carnage executed as he flies through the air with the greatest of ease and sends his opponents crashing to their knees? Dancing paper lions and colorful silk costumes? Exotic weapons and graceful, high-kicking forms? Because the public face of the Chinese arts has been molded chiefly by tournament performances, modern wushu gymnastics and a few good (along with a lot of terrible) samples of chop-socky cinema, many Westerners and a few Far Easterners have been led to conclude that kung fu is merely a more graceful and gymnastic version of karate devoted to punching, kicking, jumping and posing. Obviously, those doubting Thomases havent received much exposure to the oldest and perhaps most respected of the Chinese arts, shuai chiao (also spelled shuai jiao). Theyd be surprised to discover that this hyper-effective art is actually a kind of Asian wrestling. Thats right, wrestling. Like other cultures around the world, the earliest forms of Chinese hand-to-hand combat naturally grew from the instinct to grab an opponent and twist him into submission. Shuai chiao was first recorded as a method of military training during the reign of Huang Ti, the "Yellow Emperor" who lived circa 2697 B.C. From that time on, it thrived as an exercise and a method of combat utilized by Chinas greatest warriors, who continued to practice and streamline its brutally efficient repertoire of techniques. As the millennia rolled by, punching and kicking were developed, utilized and codified, as was the inevitable advance of weaponry. Shuai chiao, however, continued its steady rise in efficacy even as the striking arts elbowed their way into the spotlight.

It is what is known as Chinese fast wrestling. Shuai Jiao has many movements that throw the opponent to the ground. It is considered to be the oldest form of kung fu martial arts. It is thought to have originated more than two thousand years ago. In many ancient civilizations, the first combative techniques to be invented are wrestling or grappling techniques. China being one of the oldest civilizations on earth, has an ancient form of wrestling called Shuai Jiao. Shuai Jiao is the predecessor to many Japanese grappling arts such as Jujitsu and Judo. The Yellow Emperor of China fought against a rebel named Chih Yiu and his army. The emperor's forces used horned helmets to gore their opponents while using a primitive form of grappling called "jiao di" (horn butting). This form of grappling is what eventually evolved to become shuai jiao, the martial art. While this primitive form of martial grappling was the basis of Shuai Chiao, the martial art as it exists today is much different than its ancient martial counterpart. Modern Shuai-chiao is a culmination of all of these ancient kung fu grappling, wrestling techniques. The kung fu techniques have evolved to a very high level of efficiency and sophistication. Shuai Chiao is the basis of the kung fu military and police training in China and is a national sport in Taiwan.

Extractions: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Shuai Jiao Jump to: navigation search Shuai jiao Chinese 摔跤 or 摔角 pinyin Shuāijiāo Wade–Giles : Shuai-chiao) is the Chinese term for wrestling. It can be referred to as a martial arts system or a sport.

Extractions: Omar works in the entertainment industry. He is also the head instructor and teaches Combat Shuai Chiao and Hung Gar at the two Combat Martial Arts Fight Schools in Columbia, South Carolina. The Combat Martial Arts Fight Schools places emphasizes on real combat for real streets, along with high moral ethics. Student of Master David C.K. Lin Master David C.K. Lin is the senior-most practitioner of Combat Shuai-Chiao. He trained the longest with Grandmaster Ch'ang and first coined the term "Combat Shuai-Chiao", which is now trademarked. David Chee-Kai Lin is one of the most quiet personalities on the international Shuai-Chiao scene, but hes definitely one of the most accomplished. His early training reads like a chapter out of a martial arts novel, having fought and beaten some of Asias finest champions, and his current teachings on the finer points of combat are just as amazing. Always one to turn away from controversy and find a nice, quiet place to train his own skills, Lins early years in Taiwan were the stuff that forges greatness and true martial arts skill. When he was little, David Lin used to watch other kids get bullied and it would irritate him fiercely. Even at a young age, Lin had a strong sense of what was fair and what wasnt. While interceding on behalf of the underdog, he gravitated towards throwing techniques and found himself yearning for Shuai-Chiao training to better his fighting skill. Lin got his first exposure to Chinese wrestling in junior high school at the age of 14 in a club that was overseen by the legendary Chang Tung-Sheng.

The Peaceful Dragon - Shaolin Kungfu Shuai Chiao Kungfu (Chinese grappling) The oldest recorded martial art in East Asia, Shuai Chiao dates back more than 2500 years to the time of the Yellow Emperor. http://www.thepeacefuldragon.com/kungfu.shtml
Extractions: Shaolin Kungfu More than 1500 years ago, the Shaolin monks in China began studying martial arts as part of a lifelong journey towards enlightenment. Recognizing that body, mind and spirit are inseparable, they embarked on three pillars of training. This training included martial arts and qigong to strengthen the body, meditation to clear the mind, and spiritual inquiry to answer the deepest questions of the soul. At The Peaceful Dragon we adhere to the traditional "three pillar" approach, teaching authentic lineage kungfu styles. The journey is a demanding one requiring self-discipline and dedication, but the rewards are always worth the effort. Shaolin Kungfu Originating in the Shaolin Temple in China over 1500 years ago, Shaolin kungfu is perhaps the most comprehensive of all martial arts. Often referred to as the "grand daddy" of Asian martial arts, Shaolin has influenced the development of much later arts such as Japanese karate and Korean tae kwon do. Kungfu offers you great health and fitness, superb fighting skills, and it can be beautiful and exciting to watch, as in the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."
