"Builders of Confidence"

DEEP SOUTH KUNG-FU ARNIS ACADEMY  is one of 12 schools underneath
Tuhon/GrandMaster Rick Wei-Ward. Founded by his Disciple, Master Wei Li-Shih Joshua
Watson, in May 2009 in Cape Coral, FL. At
Deep South Kung-Fu, we teach many arts. No
single art fits every person the same way because no two people are the same. As my
teachers teacher would say, “we don’t all wear a size 44 coat”.
Our arts adapt to suit your needs!

We take a well rounded approach to Martial Arts training covering all aspects of fighting,
healing, health and wellness. We teach both Internal and External arts as well as the
historical background from which our arts come. We have a very long and prestigious
lineage in the Chinese Martial Arts dating back to the Emperor of the Sung Dynasty. We
are proud to represent this long tradition and only seek to further spread it and help it to
grow. Just a few of the arts taught within our school are; ShaoLin Kung-Fu, Emperor’s Long
Fist (Tai Chi, Hsing I & Ba Gua), Sasamba Kali Arnis, Shuai Jiao, Tibetan Lama, Wing Chun,
Yun Chun, Choi Li Fut, Muay Thai, Pentjak Silat, Iron Gong, Nei Gong, Chi Gong,
5 Family Fist, and many more.

Why so many? Because since none of us are the same, our art must become “Personal”.
We are not out to win tournaments or put on a good show. We seek to survive in all facets
of life. We seek health and well being. We seek to spread the beauty of our arts. Whether
you train with us or train somewhere else, the lifelong pursuit of these ancient lessons can
only enrich you physically, mentally or spiritually.
Deep South Kung-Fu
Arnis Academy
Sil-Lum Kung-Fu originated in the Shao-Lin Temples,
where the monks spent thousands of years perfecting combat,
turning it into a science, and an art. Science because its based
upon physical and anatomical principals. Art, because it demands
dedication and strives for perfection of physical form and motion.
There are 3 different classes taught at Deep South Kung-Fu;
Sil Lum Kung-Fu - The Science and Art of Combat,
(ShaoLin)                            Real Self-Defense!

Emperor's Long Fist - Systems for Health, and Self-Defense.
Emperor's Long Fist was the original internal system that all other
Tai Chi styles were derived from.

Sasamba Kali Arnis - Filipino/Chinese Stick Fighting.
"Praying Mantis" Kung-Fu mixed with Kali and Arnis,
the 2 major Filipino stick fighting systems.
