By Cai Chu-Xian (Tzai Tsu-Shien)
Translated into English by Mei Xue-Xiong (Mei Sue-Shiong)
FKI-BS-2070
Fukien (Fujian) Ground Boxing, one the branches
of “Shaolin” boxing in southern
China, is presented by the distinguished Master,
Cail Chu-Xian, Vice-President of the Fuzhou
Martial Arts Association and Head Coach of
the Fuzhou Martial Arts Center. This art is
also called Shaolin Dog Style Boxing because
of its unique style – using movements
patterned after the dog, adapted to the human
form, that are quick, nimble, and changing – performed
on multiple levels. Presented are the art’s
spectacular and powerful methods of running,
punching, rolling, overturning, kicking, dodging,
takedowns and ground – techniques whose
flow almost reminds the viewer of aikido but
also includes a vast variety of superb ground
techniques. These ground skills are the art’s
specialty and involve practical leg actions
useful for actual combat. If you ever wanted
to know how to fight from the ground with your
legs, this book will be an invaluable training
tool.
