Within the classes, the main focus will be placed upon study of traditional long fist kung-fu. The major focus within this rather large grouping of kung fu is Bei Quan,(北拳) or Northern Kung-fu. Other styles will also be included, such as suen bing(孫臏), nan chaun (南拳), ba ji(八極), zhan quan.(戰拳) The decision as to what styles to include within this course is taken from a tradition established within Chinese history. Before discussing the particular forms and requirements for advancement within our system, it is useful to note the roots from which our ideas spring.

　　Historically, around 1928, the Koumingtang(國民黨) in China established Zhong Yang Guo Shu Guan(中央國術館). Within this organization, the dream was to establish a national martial arts school that would bring famous teachers from all around together in one place, thus offering students a situation of study that had never been achieved within before that time. Within this Guo Shu Guan(國術館), students would have the opportunity to work with teachers from a variety of styles in such a way as to promote healthy communication and deeper understanding of the many martial arts traditions present in China. Some of the many famous names that came from studying at there at that time are Han Qing Tang(韓慶堂), Li Yuan Zhi(李元智), amd Chang Dong Shen(常東昇), just to name a few.

　　As the Kuomingtang(國民黨) was forced to move to Taiwan, part of the student population from this school moved across the strait as well. In approximately 1983, a cultural university was opened in Taiwan with the idea of once again bringing together famous martial arts instructors for the purpose of training interested students and carrying on a cultural tradition. Zhong Guo Wen Hua Da Xue(中國文化大學)( a cultural university) thus began to do in much the same manner what had earlier been accomplished in China. Within this university, students studied over 100 forms with the idea that doing so, they could distinguish and bold fundamental knowledge outside the university walls regarding the myriad of Kung fu styles they may encounter as they went on to become martial arts coaches. Currently, that number is less and the focus shifted slightly to accommodate the changing ideals of a new generation of practitioners. Nonetheless, the emphasis on upholding the tradition of martial arts practice and study has not shifted During the time this cultural university has been open, many famous teachers of martial arts have passed through its gates and participated in education interested students. An example of one of these professors who came across from China is Chang Dong Shen(常東昇), who taught at the school for some years. Chang Dong Shen was famous for his skill in Chinese Wrestling. He was called, Hua hu die(花蝴蝶), as his feet were able to change postures with incredible speed. In his competitive career, he was never beaten.

　　Zhang Duen Xi(張敦熙) is another famous practitioner of Tong Bei Quan(通臂拳) who taught in Taiwan. He also taught a form of Tai Ji Quan (通臂太極)that was heavily influenced in its style by his experience in Tong Bei Quan. Guo Bing Dao(郭秉道), who also taught Tai Ji Quan in the Zhong Guo Wen Hua Do Xue(中國文化大學) as well as the Shi Fan Dao Xue(師範大學), is another of the famous people who lent their talents to the continuance of martial traditions in Taiwan.

　　He Shuen Ding(賀順定), who still lives in Taipei, Teaches Sun Style Xing Yi (孫氏形意)and Ba Gua(八卦). Tand Ke Jie(唐克杰), also still living in Taipei, teaches long fist. He is among three famous students of Han Qing Tang(韓慶堂), the other two being Shen Mao Hui(沈茂惠) and Jiang Chang Gen.(姜長根)

　　Liu Yuen Qiao (劉雲樵)is remembered for his expertise in Ba Ji Quan(八極拳), a style still popular in Taiwan as it is practiced by the bodyguards of the president of the country. In his early days, Liu Yuen Qiao was a the Chinese equivalent of a CIA agent in China during the Second World War. His duty was to kill Japanese fficials and protect spy networks within China.
