We are a small yet friendly grouping together of like-minded individuals dedicated to the study of the art, various training methods and inner aspects of White Crane-Fist free of the negative politics of associations, styles and the general martial arts scene.
We are NOT a style, nor a school! We are a study and research group and make no claims to be representing any one school of White Crane. We believe that White Crane should be practiced in as natural manner as possible as such we do not subscribe to the harder, more “Karate-Like”, external practices sometimes seen within the White Crane world. The White Crane is a natural, free-flowing bird whose movements are filled with great grace and beauty. It does not move in a staccato fashion.
The core of our studies revolve around the Immortal White Crane (Feihequan or “Flying Crane”) of Sifu Dong Mu-Yau even though we have no connection with his school. As such we use the six main forms of this school as the core of our studies and research. The White Crane Research Institute (Incorporation Number INC9874707) is a non-profit association as registered with the Australian Department of Fair Trading and as such places no emphasis on monetary concerns.
We are glad to be an active member of the IAOMAS!
