I can't find anything about this online, and I've never heard of it before.... I'm looking nearby for a Karate club to join, and came across this.I've heard of white crane kung fu, but not karate...
Wado ryu is a sturdy, low-priced form of karate that comes with many jujitsu journeys and throws in that is sparring, it has slender stances and prefers to steer sparkling of particularly than address warring parties head on like shotokan or goju. Having achieved wado i will propose it. the only white crane i've got achieved is a kung fu gadget from fujian province that's frequently hand innovations and open hand blocks with some low point kicking. i stumbled on wado greater assorted with a reliable grading gadget that's regarded globally. Tatsuo Suzuki of wado is an inspiring guy even in his early 70s.
All Karate contains elements of White Crane Fist. There are some - only a couple to a few of the actual Chinese Crane forms that have survived and are practiced by the Okinawans. This is my reason for searching for a White Crane teacher from the original location and lineage - Yong Chun Village in Fukien, and I found him. Yong Chun (actually Eng Chun) is the Fukienese pronounciation of Wing Chun - another art that descended from White Crane. I am currently practicing the Sam Chien - Sanchin form. Goju Ryu also contains elements of Southern Mantis, 18 Lohan fist and Shantung Black Tiger. These techniques were incorporated into the Indigenous Okinawan Grappling Art called Ti or Di to form what is today called Karate. You will find some people who claim they teach the secret Hakutsuru of Okinawa. There are some forms that were fashioned after the White Crane but are not actual White Crane Froms. They are not bad... maybe better than alot of other BS out there. I just want the real thing.
Frank and Mito are right IMHO. It is probably a style linking itself to the past. Hopefully, it isn't just linking itself to the Karate Kid..ha ha. And it probably is on the up and up... but I would be careful anyways. This decision can affect your training for years. Good luck!
Same thing. White Crane in Japan is Karate. In China Kung Fu. Some variation in style though not a lot. One of the 5 animal styles.
Probably an Okinawan style of Karate with strong ties to Chinese White Crane Kung Fu.
