Martin Watts - white crane kung fu from yong chun fu jian / fujian


This is a very old page!! like before youtube / social media - I leave it here as part of history

new site here There are 4 options for training with us: Yong Chun is a town in Fu Jian.Pan Chung Miao is a the head of one of 4 active lineages of White Crane in Yong Chwun. ( see map and more info ) Fu Jian is a province in South China.Yong Chwun is also a type of Kung fu. However in Yong Chun they practise White Crane Kung Fu ( Bai He Chuen ).

We practice in Palma de Mallorca, Mondays and Thursdays for adults at 8:30. Telephone: 971 510 046. A great amount of our time is spent practicing the little form below which is called 3 battles

Hablamos espanol, English und shreckliche deutch. Yau bu ran, ni yau jiang guo yu - na gen hau. If you want to come a vist us - fantastic - especially if you are a traditional kung fu player you will be most welcome.

Through this site I have got in contact with players all over the world, and helped people get in contact with each other. Drop me an email on [email protected] and say hi and then I can be your long distance martial arts internet lover. If you have a skype web cam we can play 'I'll show you mine if you show me yours'.

If you right click on these and select 'save target as' that is the best way to go. It is not easy to divide into elementary or advanced as it really comes down to your ability. This roughly the order we go through - there are steps missing. Some of these are along the lines of 'this is really how it should be done'. Some of these are ideas to play with to stretch / strenthen the core concepts. Hope it is obvious which is which. This was all done before the world of youtube - so might now seem a bit laborious. here is my San Zhan for a start.
