Shou' Shu' in the US
Da' Shifu Albert F. Moore, Sr. developed the unique teaching style we use today. Albert Moore, Sr. was awarded the title of Da Shifu (Grand Master) after mastering Shou' Shu' in China. The Chinese Masters each teach only one animal and students must master that skill before they learn the next animal. Only after all the animal forms were mastered did the student learn to combine the movements. Da' Shifu Moore, Sr. studied the teaching forms of other martial arts when he returned to the U.S. and developed a teaching method of combined animal styles and belt ranks. This unique method greatly enhances the skills of the martial artist at any level.
Red Dragon Martial Arts is one of only a few schools in the U.S. currently teaching Shou' Shu' in its original form.
