I hope that one day it is a project which we can take on.
Researching the history of Shou' Shu' is not an easy task. Throughout history the art has been held tightly guarded within elite groups. At many points in history it was nearly lost but fortunately carried on by a few to be taught to the next generation. During this time it was underground and most thought it no longer existed. For this reason it is sometimes reffered to as "The Lost Art" or "The Secret Art". However it has been carried on and will continue to benefit the human race.
As far as we know, noone has ever put to paper the history of the art. Histories of martial arts as a whole do not mention it. The histories of most modern day martial arts do not intertwine themselves with the history of our art. Most martial arts, and especially Chinese Martial arts, of the modern day evolve from the same place, the shaolin temple. Therefore most histories of martial arts will begin there. To most this is where it all started and all histories will begin there. Our history is much older and gently passes the shaolin temple, but does not enter. For this reason, you will not find mention of our art in the commonly accepted histories of the various forms of kung fu. However the facts of our history can be verified in the histories and legends of many great cultures. Even today archeologists are uncovering symbols which we believe were training aids in our art. Buddhist, Taoist, Hindu and Christian religions alike, all contain bits of our history recorded within their manuscripts."
red flags everywhere...
SevenStar,
The site you get that info from is not even close. it is operated by an individual that has his own ideas on how it all came about it send our red flags up too.
Its been the topic of arguement by all on what he put on that site. that site is not operated by an active Shifu in the Moore's Shou Shu system.
to answer the question of what 22 styles, i have never had the opportunity to sit down with Da' Shifu to ask him exactly what styles, maybe one day i will have that chance but not recently.
hope you all are having a wonderful holiday season.
al moores shou shu is real
