Southern (Tiger Crane) Kung Fu
Siu Lum 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 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.
We also train in Sanda/Sanshou to test our Kung Fu training. Sanda is a fighting system which was originally developed by the Chinese military based upon the study and practices of traditional Chinese martial arts and modern combat fighting techniques; it combines boxing and full-contact kickboxing, which includes close range and rapid successive punches and kicks, with wrestling, take-downs, throws, sweeps, kick catches, and in some competitions, even elbow and knee strikes.
Forms
Forms are series of predetermined movements combined so they can be practiced as a continuous set of movements. Forms were originally intended to preserve the lineage of a particular style branch and were often taught to advanced students selected for that purpose. Forms contained both literal, representative and exercise-oriented forms of applicable techniques that students could extract, test, and train in through sparring.

Weapons
Our school also makes use of training in the broad arsenal of Chinese weapons for conditioning the body as well as coordination and strategy. Our weapons training is generally carried out after the student becomes proficient with the basic forms and applications training. The basic theory for weapons training is to consider the weapon as an extension of the body. It has the same requirements for footwork and body coordination as the basics. The process of weapon training proceeds with forms, forms with partners and then applications, as well as sparring.
