Teaching philosophy

First and foremost, Nam Pai Chuan is a martial art, not a sport. As such we accord it the respect due to a martial art. Students are expected to obey certain rules of courtesy and good behaviour. Instructors of the style teach in a traditional and sincere manner, with a regard for practical requirements and the importance of an enjoyable and relaxed atmosphere in which to learn. While Nam Pai Chuan instructors do not ignore tradition and aesthetics just to be practical, neither are they slaves to tradition who disregard practical purposes and situations.
