Now notice i say system i was corrected on this today i said style and was told no Moores Shou Shu is a family name and it is a Fighting System Based on the 7 animals. The history well they can prove it and whether you believe it or not that is up to the individual. The actual Name is Moores Shou Shu Karate. The karate part is from again posted earlier, when the public didnt recognize Kung Fu or Martial Arts as self defense names, but Karate they knew and could associate with. So came the name. Again this was in the 50's and 60's. Da Shifu Jr was taught by his father. Da Shifu Sr and Da Shifu Ralph were co Founders of the System.
Now im done with this forum i have said enough to turn my face Blue.
Peace
Salute,
Shou Shu Blue
