Overview

108 Heroes is a kung fu school & art hailing from Chinatown, San Francisco from 2010 - 2017. This interior facing manual aims to inspire and provide a map for the students and fans to navigate the initial martial training unique to this school. The practice in this manual was not composed purely on circumstance, theory, history, or lineage. All of this is honored in practice. 108 does not lay claim to any specific lineage. Every movement, moment, breath, posture, and form is specifically curated by personal experience to offer a path of practical physical, holistic, combative, energetic, and mental achievement. It is not designed to bind you to tradition, chase a trophy, or win a title per se. It is meant to free you in the deepest sense. This martial work serves to teach, but only to students who will continuously approach the practice with a beginner's mind. Meaning your cup, should constantly be empty as you transcend through this presentation of arts from Shaolin, Xing Yi, Tai Chi, Bagua, and more. Proficiency in combat and sport fighting is is only a small part of this art. In fact, you will only need a small amount of basic techniques done well to win most fights, but hopefully the content in this manual can serve for an inspiration of lifelong practice. Enjoy!
