Black Belt Grading

The first form in our syllabus is known as “Three Fortress Steps” (三步武). It is learnt at yellow belt and teaches students a simple but important stepping method fundamental to our style, as well as introducing basic hand strikes, and “Liak Chiew” (搦手), the characteristic grasping block commonly seen in Nam Pai Chuan formwork. Although short and relatively straightforward, it is a challenging sequence of movements for beginners to absorb and coordinate well. It should be practiced diligently to develop a strong foundation before moving on to more complex forms.

Sigung, Lai Khee Choong

Master Lai, 2nd chamber 50th generation of Shaolin has studied martial arts since 1959 and in particular Shaolin Kung Fu from 1967. His daily training was intense, and undertaken in the traditional manner.

In addition to Shaolin Kung Fu, Master Lai also trained, in the 1970s with Master Leow Cheng Koon, who was Chief Instructor of the MTA (Malaysian Taekwondo Association), member of the Taekwondo Federation (WTF).

Master Lai decided to emigrate to United Kingdom (UK), where he had undertaken his legal education and since martial arts was part of his life, he felt the need to bring his school with him.

Prior to his departure, Grandmaster Quek gave his permission for Master Lai to teach the Shaolin system Nam Pai Chuan when he came to the UK, bringing it to Europe for the first time.

Master Lai began teaching Shaolin Nam Pai Chuan in Swiss Cottage, London and established it as a member organisation of the British Council for Chinese Martial Arts (BCCMA), the national governing body for Chinese martial arts in the UK. Shaolin Nam Pai Chuan has grown ever since with new training centres being established across the globe and teaching in the same sincere and dedicated manner as Master Lai and his predecessors.

When there is hard there is soft, and when there is soft there is hard.
You may understand it, but to put it into practice is not always the easiest 🙏

No Foundation, No Kung-Fu. The same applies in life 🙏
