To honor the late Grand Master Min Pai and carry on the Ultimate style that he created.
Jason Perri and Ian Montimurro, are the head instructors of the Yun Mu Kwan Fighting System. This style is based on the teachings of Grand Master Min Pai. This system is a combination of Nabi Su, Yun Mu Kwan, Tai Chi Chuan and various other styles Jason and Ian have learned. We have taken forms and techniques from each of these styles and created this amazing fighting system. In the mid to late 1990's, Grand Master Pai stopped teaching kung fu and concentrated solely on the soft internal systems such as Tai Chi, Hsing-i, Pa Kua & Chi Gung. We have incorporated these soft internal styles into his fighting system as Grand Master Pai did. The foundation of this fighting system is based on all of the teachings of Grand Master Pai as they evolved through the years. "Butterfly Hand" is one of the unique forms Grand Master Pai created. This form will help you develop internal power, focus and a deceptively powerful defense system. This unique system was developed by Grand Master Pai after years of teaching various hard and soft styles of karate along with Tai Chi Chuan. This amazing system will allow you to develop the grace of a Butterfly, along with power and precision, as if you were a laser guided missile, sustaining power throughout the entire movement. Your block is equally as powerful as your strike, which we call "Thunderbolt Touch", causing damage at any point of contact. Your confidence will grow as your block and strike become one, creating an impenetrable defense system. We strive on perfecting our Yun Mu Kwan Fighting System as it is continuously evolving.
Yun Mu Kwan Fighting System, a system created based on all of the teachings of Grand Master Pai. This system incorporates all of the Master Pai's teachings as well as the knowledge and experience of Jason and Ian's various martial arts backgrounds. This is a proven fighting system and is based on realistic street situations. We have evolved Master Pai's teachings with the help of his advanced black belts to create the ultimate fighting System.
From 1995 - 2004, Grand Master Pai continued to evolve and modify his system until his passing in 2004. Grand Master Pai's legacy continues to live on, leaving an incredible affect on all of those he and his students have touched.
Nabi Su, a discipline evolving out of Yun Mu Kwan was created by Grand Master Pai in 1987, when he created his signature form, Nabi Su. In 1995, Grand Master Pai discontinued his involvement with his school in NYC and continued to evolve his teachings at the Zen Monastery in Pound Ridge, NY.
Yun Mu Kwan, a discipline originally taught by Grand Master Pai, incorporates movements of Tai Chi Chuan, Kung Fu, Karate & Weapons of the Orient. The Yun Mu Kwan style is based on the forms and principles of five animals. Grandmaster Pai created his own unique interpretation of these Five Shaolin Animal Forms; Dragon, Crane, Snake, Tiger & Leopard.
It is amazing to see how the style over four decades transformed, or as he would probably say like the Chrysalis stage, metamorphasized from a “Caterpillar into a Butterfly!”
