THE BIRTH OF QWAN KI DO
AND ITS ESSENTIAL CHARACTERISTICS
In this context, it was in 1981 that Master Pham Xuan Tong codified Qwan Ki Do as the elaboration of a single synthesis between Vietnamese martial arts and Kung Fu techniques transmitted to Master Tong by Chinese Master Chau Quan Ky, exponent of the Nga Mi Mountain Tiger Claw and Crane School.
The fundamental characteristics of Qwan Ki Do and its origins of synthesis between Vietnamese martial arts and Kung Fu styles of South China are well expressed in the synthetic definition that was used for Qwan Ki Do of “Sino-Vietnamese Kung Fu”.
Qwan Ki Do is in fact characterized by a vast technical repertoire made up of: techniques of hands and feet, fists, elbows and knees; grabbing techniques, with levers and projections and sweeping and scissoring techniques; besides techniques of a great variety of traditional weapons, the practice of codified progressions called Thao Quyên.
The totality of these progressions constitutes the archive and their codification guarantees the technical heritage of the school.
The competitions correspond to the categories of technique (concatenations with bare hands and weapons) and team combat (bare hands and weapons).
