Seven Mountains Kung Fu is a Indochinese & traditional Southern Chinese style animal form martial art originating from the Seven Mountains region of Vietnam. World Champion Master Phuoc Phan, with 45 years of martial arts training, brought the art with him from Saigon along with rich traditions of Chi Kung (Qigong) and meditation. The Seven Mountains Way of Spiritual Martial Art is well known in Vietnam where it has been referred to for centuries as Thất Sơn Võ Đạo. It is renowned for the use of internal energy training, or Chi Kung. Chi Kung conditions the body and mind with vital healing energy, and provides the basis for power and litheness of Thất Sơn Võ Đạo’s unique fighting forms. This art was shaped in ancient China by Esoteric Taoists and spread from there into Burma, where it was influenced by the Mystic Buddhist School of Spiritual Martial Art. After a long journey through Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia, Thất Sơn Võ Đạo traveled into the Seven Mountains region of Vietnam where it was found by a young Phuoc Phan. The art we know today was brought to the United States by Master Phan, formally known as Phan Gia Thất Sơn Quyền.
