About Us

We are a California Non Profit Public Benefit Corporation established to preserve and promote the art of Shou' Shu' for the benefit of humanity.

After the passing of Da' Shifu Al Moore in 2002 the art of Shou' Shu' became endangered. Many of the schools which had formerly taught the principles converted to what had previously been called Southern Shou' Shu'. Other schools left the system to carry on the art. Some of these survived, others did not.

Years later the situation is that there are very few schools actually teaching Shou' Shu'. The art has again become very difficult to find. The purpose of this organization is to remedy that situation.

Da' Shifu' used to say:

"I taught everything I know but I did not teach everything to one person"

Then he'd laugh and look around at us all to make sure we knew what he meant. It was a cruel joke but a wise move. He knew that for Shou' Shu' to be preserved all of his Shifu's must get together, work together, and get along.

That is our purpose. To fulfill his plan. To preserve Shou' Shu' by bringing together those that have something to offer it. To bring togeether Da' Shifu's Shifus, teachers and students all, so that they together can pass on the art for the benefit of future generations.

If you are one of those people. Someone who previously studied Shou' Shu' (sometimes called Northern Shou' Shu') and you are interested in continuing in the art. Please contact us.

We exist to help those who wish to continue on in the training of Shou' Shu'. Whether you are a student who wishes to learn or a Shifu who wishes to contribute their knowledge (and thereby learn), we are here for you.
