welcome to the manchester nam pai chuan website. we are an established club dedicated to the martial art of nam pai chuan, a kung fu system which has evolved from the shaolin monasteries in china. today, nam pai chuan is taught and practiced at several locations in the uk and overseas, including manchester. the system is taught through a structured syllabus of traditional and modern elements, including sparring, traditional forms (one-man and two-man), weapons, chi gung and a series of combat/self defence sequences. our approach to training not only promotes physical strength and endurance, but also requires sustained mental development, so that a student's practical skill is well rooted in a firm understanding of the system's philosophy. shahrokh nael teaches in south manchester, three sessions a week. newcomers are welcome at all sessions but are advised firstly to contact shahrokh nael for further information and to answer any questions you may have. nam pai chuan is a member of the british council for chinese marital arts (the BCCMA), the controlling body for chinese martial arts in the uk. through the BCCMA we provide comprehensive insurance cover for all our students and instructors.
