No, I don't do NCK myself. I do Sao Lim, or Siao Lim as Eric likes to spell it. Our founder did study NCK as well. I found out that the NCK had a big influence on his Siao Lim style. It was the first time I saw NCK in my life and was very surprised at the similarities in postures and blocking techniques.
Best wishes,
Simon

Quanzhou Shaolin temple is also the home of the International Wuzuquan Union.

Sek Koh Sam did study NCK, according to my documents any way. He left his parents in tears when he was only 13 years old in 1899, and went to find a famous South Shaolin Martial Arts Master named Cao Biao (also spelled as Zhou Biao). He was a ace escort, an profession in ancient China, who protects others' properties for a fee. He also was in the Security Bureau. Gao Can learned Wu Zu Quan and most likely also Luo Han Quan (Lo Han Kun ) and Taizuquan (Ancestral Boxing) vigorously for 3 years. This means that before Sek Koh Sam studied the Southern Shaolin Arts in Zhejiang province, he studied NCK first. In fact it seems like that NCK was the first martial art he ever learnt! I am lucky enough to spend considerable time each year in Asia, but unfortunately not twice a year! And I¡¯m planning a trip to Malaysia for june/july next year. So I don¡¯t think I will be joining the competition. In a way it is good; a safe way to keep my face But I wish I could be there, really not to participate, but to watch it. The Quanzhou Shaolin temple is a friendly place, welcomes visitors (no entrance fee) and does nothing for tourists! I just dropped in announced and was warmly received by Monk Shi Lirong, who served me some tea and arranged a short demo for me as well. Construction of the temple is done step by step, and visitors are invited to contribute. You can sign your name on a roof tile which will be used in future constructions. Maybe you can show me some Lohan components of NCK? Best wishes, Simon

building of the temple was partly funded by Konghan and many other martial arts body's :-) some of the Lohan statues inside were contributed by our past president of the club :-) if ever you passed by malaysia,pass by the philippines...its just a neighboring country, here you can see more NCK :-) and of course,the native arnis,authentic and otherwise hehehe... yes the temple is a very modest and humble place DEVOID of tourist traps you see in the northern school,the northern school in some ways turned into a money generating machines while the southern temple was built to preserve the arts that we all treasure. currently,NCK is the official sylabus but they also do LOTS of other styles as well :-) hope that we can meet one day in quanzhou temple :-)
