View Full Version : Chuka Shaolin
Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this style.
No real reason besides interest sparked by a book.
Peace.

Was the Book "The Secrets of Pheonix-Eye Fist Kung Fu - The Art of Chuka Shaolin"???

Hi Vash,
Get the first book, Phoenix Eye Fist: A fighting Art of South China.
That one is a real gem. Its format should have been the standard for all future Chinese martial arts books. It did something that few martial arts books did -- teach.
You will love it.

I've got it. Excellent layout, great instructive text. And the pictures, though black and white, actually help in the understanding of the material. Maybe it's just me, but I've seen a great many books wherein the pics just confuse the instruction.

Vash,
I agree with you. Another well formatted book, though out of print, is Taikiken by Kenichi Sawaii. I was able to use the uprooting methods immediately. One more would be James Yim Lee's Wing Chun Kung Fu. I used to enjoy slap boxing when that came out. My skills improved from reading it.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll have to look into those books.

Hey Mickey, could you PM me? There's no way for me to contact you apart from the public forum. Thanks.

Chuka Shaolin seems to be part Chu Gar Southern Mantis and Shaolin it is a Hakka art and part Shaolin it has also been said that Chuka Shaolin is a Form of Fukien White Crane but others have said it is a Hakka Dragon style .
Thanks for the info, FIRE HAWK.
Anyone know if there are any instructors in this art around the el dorado, Arkansas area?
