Shou Shu is a true martial art and true system of pure self-defense. It is an extremely efficient fighting system used for the purpose of self-defense. The literal translation for Shou Shu is “Beast Knowledge”. The Shou Shu system Iutilizes the fighting motions of seven fighting animals.

Each of the seven animals specializes in a specific type of motion. Each utilizes the laws of physics to create immense power but in completely different ways. Shou Shu is the combination of these animal motions. Al Moore Sr. brought Shou Shu to the United States from China over 45 years ago.

His son Al Moore Jr continues the legacy. The Jung Moon. Shou Shu works for all people. Its principles do not rely on size or strength. A small woman can learn to generate more power than a man of great strength who does not have Shou Shu training. From the very first day, the student of Shou Shu is taught how to use body alignment to produce energy and power. It almost seems magical to the new student. It is an amazing art.

What are the benefits of Shou Shu?

Shou Shu helps you to gain the peace of mind knowing that you are physically and mentally prepared for all situations that may present themselves and be dangerous or life threatening.

The physical benefits are immediate along with the mental benefits of feeling "empowered" to do something vs. nothing should you find yourself in a dangerous situation and need to defend yourself.  Shou Shu is also a great way to get into shape, relieve tension, and increase strength and balance.

The discipline and self-confidence you will gain with Shou Shu will help you deal with people and situations as never before.  Your new found confidence will be instantly recognizable, but to others it will appear to come from an unknown source.

In today's society strangers don't wish to become involved in other peoples problems and typically come to the defense of someone in need. It is unfortunate that in this day and age we all must "fend for ourselves" and be prepared to protect ourselves.  Shou Shu will enable you to insure yourself and those around you of protection in these times of rising crime of all types.

Women in particular benefit from a feeling of being "empowered" to protect themselves with self defense techniques that don't require strength and can be utilized by anyone willing to learn.

At Moore's of Livermore, mothers also enjoy having "me time" to work on thier own skills and techniques while thier children are in a class in the next room enjoying classes on how to defend themselves and keep themselves safe in situations that involve child predators.  Shun Shifu Jack has created a learning environment for children that is fun, interractive, teaches them disscipline and respect for others and meets them where they are.   There is no doubt about it, children love these classes and will be eager to attend.

By having your family discover the benefits of Shou Shu, they will have protection from violence and crime when they are away from you.
