“Weak and exposed in appearance, but powerful when unleashed.”
Emei Quan, or Omei Quan, is a comprehensive system that includes empty-hand and weapon forms. It also utilizes martial arts strategy,
spacing, and blending to achieve maximum combat effectiveness and proper self-defense. It provides both external training for the body,
and internal training to cultivate the individual’s life energy.
Although Emei Quan is not as popular as Shaolin Quan outside Asia, it is one of the major systems known in China. The five major
systems are Shaolin, Wutan, Emei, Henan, and Fukien. Just like these other systems, a wide range of Kung Fu styles have descended
from Emei Quan.
Emei Quan is famous for its animal styles, most particularly monkey style and its unique southern styles. Low stable stances with little
hopping are characteristic of this style. Jumps are executed very lightly and quickly and its movements are very diverse.
Many of Emei Quan’s deadly techniques are derived from the use of the wrist. Emei Quan is a system designed to train your body,
develop your mind, cultivate good spirit, and refine your character through persistent training and practice.
