Southern
Chinese Kung Fu
There are many
Southern Chinese kung fu styles, but most of them have the same
origins...
In the year 756 AD, during the Tang dynasty, the southern
Shaolin monastary was constructed in the province Fukien...
During the
Qing dynasty this monastary became a base for the rebellion against
the Qing (Manchu) government...
In the year 1768 the temple was
completely destroyed by the Manchus. A few monks escaped the Manchu
army, and started spreading their knowledge of kung fu in the south of
China, giving birth to famous kung fu systems...
(Most of hte
famous Kung Fu stories, legends, and heros have been based on the
southern styles of KungFu, especially the occurences of the historical
boxer rebellon...)
