Topic: Shuai Chiao


  
  Shuai Chiao - Information from Reference.com
Ancient Shuai jiao is claimed to be the progenitor of Sumo, and quite possibly Jujitsu and Judo.
The word "shuai," 摔, stands for "to throw onto the ground", while "jiao" may be one of two characters: the first and oldest, 角, stands for "horns" and the second and recent, 跤, stands for "wrestle or trip using the legs".
Shuai jiao therefore means either "to throw onto the ground using horns" or "to throw onto the ground through wrestling with legs".

Shuai Chiao (pronounced shway jyau) is the oldest martial arts system in the world, if records are to be believed.
Many of the throws require the Shuai Chiao practitioner to use his legs to lift his opponent; these throws are especially powerful.
Finally, the throws are designed to allow the Shuai Chiao practitioner to remain standing after throwing someone, and to leave his opponent's body open for a vital strike.

  The Peaceful Dragon - Ch'ang Style Tai Chi Chuan   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Shuai Chiao is the Chinese art of grappling and throwing, and Ch'ang was the undisputed "King of Shuai Chiao." Renowned throughout China and Taiwan for decades, his fame didn't spread to the West until the 1970s and 1980s when many top Western martial artists first learned of Shuai Chiao and the incomparable Ch'ang Dung Sheng.
Shuai Chiao is an art form that is often classified somewhere between internal and external kung-fu, so Ch'ang already understood the need to mini-mize Li (external strength) and maximize yi (mind intent) and chi (internal energy).
Shuai Chiao uses very specific hand work and upper body work to set up a throw, and often the Tai Chi postures are designed to deflect the opponent's force and control his arms and upper body in preparation for a throw.

According to legend, Shuai Chiao – which was originally called Chiao Ti (and thereafter many other names throughout history) – was first used in 2697 B.C. in battles between the Yellow Emperor (Huang Di) and Chi Yu, who was a rebel and also a powerful wrestler.
Thereafter, Chiao Ti was known by various names throughout history until the central government of the Republic of China established the Central Kuo Shu Institute in Nanjing in 1928 and standardized the name to Shuai Chiao.
Because of the vastness of Shuai Chiao and the depth of Chang’s knowledge, he was able to obtain much from other martial artists while giving away only a portion of his skills in exchange.

 Master David Charng and the Legacy of Shuai Chiao
Shuai Chiao lays claim to being one of the oldest fighting styles of China.
According to legend, Shuai Chiao is descended from one of the earliest recorded systems called jiao di (literally "horn support"), which dates back to the Warring States period (475-221 BCE) and was popularized by China's first emperor, the legendary Huangdi (221-210 BCE).
Shuai Chiao is the grandmother of kung fu." For Charng, this is but one factor that makes Shuai Chiao more complete than most other systems which cobble together techniques and mix martial arts.

Shuai Chiao means "competing to throw", so Shuai Chiao is often called Chinese Wrestling, which could be misleading, since leg work(low kicking, leg tangling, and tripping), arm locks, and a variety of hand strikes are all part of this devastaing system.
In conjunction with this major change, Shuai Chiao was now an independent contest and using other styles of Kung-Fu as the Grandmaster had done formerly were not allowed.
During that time he was also Chief Official for all of the national tournaments on Taiwan and Shuai Chiao advisor for the military, the police, and the educational system.

As head of the International Shuai Chiao Association, an organization that boasts more than 39,000 members, Chicoine obviously knows his art, and that art just happens to be the Chinese style that is perhaps best known for fighting.

 Shuai Chiao (Arrojando Ciervos)
En los orígenes del "Shuai Chiao", en los combates organizados bien para medir la rivalidad entre escuelas, bien para deleite del propio emperador, los luchadores llevaban sobre sus cabezas la cornamentas de un ciervo.
Aunque la base del trabajo del Shuai Chiao la constituye la lucha cuerpo a cuerpo, también se recoge el trabajo de pierna y puño ("a larga distancia utiliza la pierna, a media distancia el puño y la proyección en el cuerpo a cuerpo" dice uno de los principios básicos del Shuai Chiao).
Actualmente, el Shuai Chiao es deporte nacional en Mongolia, China y Taiwán y se enseñan en escuelas y universidades (en China es una carrera universitaria de cinco años) con una amplísima acogida pero su difusión internacional es más bien escasa.
