What you should know about Kung Fu School New Plymouth

Art in New Plymouth, School in New Plymouth

There are many reasons we believe you should try our martial art and see if it’s right for you. While cross training in many different martial arts is very popular now, there’s enough depth in Shaolin Nam Pai Chuan to keep learning for the rest of your life. Our Sifu has a masters degree in teaching and has many years experience teaching both children and adults. Our system teaches both children and adults, instilling important martial arts tenants to all ages. If you want to learn a martial art steeped in tradition and culture, then we welcome you. The true history of Shaolin Kung Fu is unlikely to be fully determined and is steeped in both tradition and myth.
The Shaolin school of martial arts has a history dating back to about 520 AD when the legendary monk Ta Mo Bohdidharma arrived at the Shaolin Temple of Sung Shan in Honan province northern China. He introduced the monks to an exercise regime which was to improve their stamina and therefore their mental capabilities. The training was intensive he had to remain inside the temple walls to study martial arts for at least 3 years, during which time he wasn’t allowed even half a step outside the temple gates. Master Quek left the temple and started various martial arts schools in Cho Si’s name.
Sifu Gary O'Sullivan 2nd chamber 51st generation training with Master Quek. It started my love of travel when some of the students and I went to Malaysia to train with 82 year old Master Quek and England to train with Master Lai. Hi, I am Kelsey I am twenty years old, I have trained in Nam Pai Chuan for the last 14 years and have given each training session 100 . This is because Sifu has explained that we are all one family and need to support each other which I agree with, so I have attended every grading, even if I myself am not grading, to help any other students who need help and to stand in where Sifu asks me too. Kung Fu helped me focus at University and I finished with a Business degree AND a degree in Kung Fu. 12 years of training and 7 years of teaching, and I still consider myself a student and teacher in training. I would like to say that my children attend Nam Pai Chuan because of the family values, self discipline and fun that they have at the schools I have children in both Ferguson St and Tremaine Ave . Every student is valued and respected for what he she bring to this school and how the contribute

Karate is based on Chinese Kung Fu and looks to Bodhidharma as its founder as does Shaolin Kung Fu . During his tenure at Sifu Quek’s School, Sifu Lai was responsible for formulating the first formal syllabus for the System, and the grading methods, to enable the School to fit in to the new Martial Arts regulatory provisions. Sigung found a master who was dedicated to his art and also to his students.
Sigung and his family immigrated to New Zealand in 1996 where he was given permission to teach Shaolin Nam Pai Chuan. At the age of 13, Seh Koh San left home to join a security guard who protected goods on the road his name was Cho Pew he was the first person to teach Seh Koh San Kung Fu. Cho Pew taught Seh Koh San most of what he knew and from all accounts he was a most outstanding student. Chief Abbot Wei Jing had 3 students and only Monk Seh Koh San had fully mastered the Shaolin Kung Fu. Seh Koh San’s sifu taught him most of the Shaolin Kung Fu, and it was Seh Koh San who became the only Monk to carry on the 48th generation Martial Arts in South East Asia. For many years, until 1919, Shi Gao Can trained the martial arts in the traditional South Shaolin tradition.
Besides Buddhism and the martial arts, he was also taught traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture. He also granted the venerable master the permission to teach martial art and encourage him to train his successors. Master Quek Heng Choon was born in 1926 in Huian county, Fujian province, China. A year later a friend suggested to him to study martial arts in the Singapore Shuang Lin Temple where Shi Gao Can was the abbot at the time.
After about 6 or 7 years of hard work, Shi Gao Can said Your study of the arts has been successful, now you can come down from the mountain’ leave the temple . At one time there were more than 300 people studying in the school of Shi Gao Can. Later he was asked him to be an instructor in another school located in Penang. The next year he went to Kuala Lumpur to work in the harbour and taught martial arts in a new village near the harbor, three times a day. For the first time Quek Heng Choon started to teach students on his own instead of assisting Shi Gao Can in his schools in order to popularise the martial arts. In 1971 he started his first school, Quek Heng Choon Martial Arts Sport School, and attracted students from Singapore and Malaysia. He represents the original 50th generation of Shaolin and his students come from Malaysia, Singapore, and China.
In 1974 he went back to China to
