This is the original Shaolin Monkey Fist form, created by the Shaolin monk Chi Na Luo at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty under the rule of Genghis Khan. The movements of this form appear playful and disarming, but they are deliberately designed to confuse an opponent and create openings for decisive attacks. In this class, we will focus on flexibility, physical conditioning, and practical fighting application. Monkey Kung Fu is famously challenging to interpret, and we will break down the hidden combat principles behind its deceptive movements.
