HistoryThe Wu Chi Martial Arts Society is the product of over 40 years of experience in the martial way. The Society itself was formed in 1990 in Grand Forks, North Dakota, when Rev. Dr. Gary Cecil organized a school around his training and experience in shaolin kung fu, aiki-jutsu, tai chi, and gang rou chuan, the latter being the Chinese influences behind Goju karate. Taken together, these disciplines found a cohesive unity within the methods and principles of Wu Chi Chuan Kung Fu, a rather rare kung fu system richly steeped in Shaolin, Wudang Mountain, and Emei Mountain histories and influences. Blending these styles (including the histories) together we have created a rather unique well-rounded martial art and fighting system. It includes both an impressive selection of kung fu animal styles, one of the best kickboxing systems in the world, and practical, real-world self defense techniques.SpecialtiesWu Chi Fighting Arts is a unique system which seamlessly blends foundational principles of major martial arts fighting styles, drawing its main influence from Kung Fu/
