The Mansuria Kung fu

The Ancestral Roots of Kung-Fu

This fighting art has its sources in the reign of the Qing Dynasty and has continued to grow throughout this dynasty (1644/1911) and its conquests. The Qing Dynasty, Manchu origin, the last imperial dynasty to have ruled China. It succeeds the Ming Dynasty, the last dynasty Han (Han are Chinese citizens, as opposed to other ethnic minorities such as the Manchus).

The establishment of the Manchu Dynasty was made after a long process of invasions and wars occurred between the army Ming and Manchu, that led to the fall of the Ming empire and establishment of the Qing empire. The warrior art Manchus from the north of China's territory (part of the territory between Mongolia and Korea), is an air style, with many leg techniques, jumps ... Although this style is marked by its origin North, historical conquests explain the integration of certain animal techniques or certain weapons traditionally from South China. Similarly, the various Qing emperors and generals of the imperial army who succeeded during this period of rule have left their mark on this fighting art practiced in the army of the emperor.

It was only after the fall of the Qing empire in 1911 that Kung Fu was disseminated outside the army, Master Wong, a member of the imperial army, went into exile in the United States, and decided to set up his school in San Fransisco to convey his art called Kung-Fu in the light of its origin. Otherwise, this style would probably disappeared to this day.

Two of the best students of this school, Mr. Lee and Ling Fu Master Kalaï Achony Lee, allowed an even broader dissemination of this style, thanks to the installation of Kalaï Achony Lee in Hong Kong where he taught Kung-Fu . His best pupil, R. Shekhar, of Indian origin, was initiated into the secrets of this ancient art, and in turn became Master of the discipline. Back in India, he helped develop and disseminate this style, in the school he founded near Madras and he called "School Mansuria Kung-Fu International".
