Drunken Boxing

Drunken Boxing or Jiu Quan (Wine Fist) is a real traditional group of Kung Fu styles, each one varying slightly from the other, however they all conform to the use of deception to enhance their ability in combat. The Drunken Style we teach is designed for actual combat not just performance use.

The Ma Family inherited its drunken kung fu from a traveling monk who stayed with them for a time. As they lived in Honan, not too far from the Shaolin Temple, many monks frequented the area and repaid the family’s hospitality by sharing their kung fu. The Ma Family were taught the drunken kung fu system in exchange for providing a temporary home for these monastic travelers. Passed down through the generations it has been entrusted to Shifu Neil Ripski who has complete knowledge of the system and its components. The style itself is based on internal concepts of Qi, Body Connection and Structure, as well as the external ability to fight. As such, the style of Eight Shadows Drunken Fist (Ba Ying Jiu Quan, which also incorporates weapons) is complete, and is also a great method to increase health and promote longevity.
